We are all tired of being cooped up at home … so let’s get outside for some fresh air and fun! The museum is hosting a winter contest and challenging both the Peterborough community and our friends around the country and world to build a snow canoe (or kayak) to be entered to win one of two $25 Canadian Canoe Museum digital gift cards (redeemable in our store, for admissions, or future programs). Two winners will be randomly selected: one from Peterborough, and one from anywhere in the world.

Participating is easy! Get outside and build a snow canoe or kayak: it can be big or small, decorated (keep it environmentally friendly, please) or plain, it is up to you, but we encourage you to get creative! Then take a photo of your snow-canoe and share it with us on social media. Full instructions and contest rules and regulations are below. We will then be sharing all the snow-canoes on our social media to spread some winter cheer!

So – do you want to build a snow-canoe?
