Supporting the Museum

Our new location has opened up countless opportunities to make our goals in education, environmental stewardship, and reconciliation a reality.

The new outdoor campus allows us to offer new and exciting outdoor education opportunities through brand-new programs that utilize the Lakefront Campus. Through these programs, we aim to inspire adventure, connection to nature, and reflection for generations to come!

Through collaboration with Indigenous communities from coast to coast to coast, we have developed new exhibits that accurately reflect our mission, amplify Indigenous voices, honour diverse cultural and oral traditions, and foster reconciliation.

With our new collection storage and Class “A” Museum Environmental Control standards, we can offer advanced care and stewardship for our artifacts and make the collection accessible as a source of cultural knowledge. In addition, our new Knowledge and Research Center has the capacity to offer opportunities for artisans, builders, students, and researchers to access diverse resources.

None of this is possible without the ongoing support of our community. Learn more about how you can contribute to The Canadian Canoe Museum and make an impact today!

The Canadian Canoe Museum respectfully acknowledges that we are situated on the Treaty 20 Michi Saagiig territory and the traditional territory covered by the Williams Treaties First Nations. The Canadian Canoe Museum also recognizes the contributions of Indigenous Peoples including First Nations, Inuit and Métis, in shaping this community and country as a whole.

As an organization that stewards the world’s largest and most significant collection of canoes, kayaks & paddled watercraft, we will honour and share the cultural histories and stories within the collection in all that we do.
