The Saturday morning canoe run brings musicians and canoe enthusists together for a water-born parade. Music will fill the canal waterway as Parade Marshal, and one of the last of the living canoe legends, Kirk Wipper, leads the paddle in his 10-seat Montreal Voyager Canoe. Wipper, an Order of Canada recipient and former University of Toronto Professor, has dedicated many years to his canoeing passion. His donation of over 600 canoes from his personal collection began the Peterborough Canoe Musuem.

As the canoes dock at the Tourist Park, the fiddlers take to the pavillion for the afternoon concert of featured entertainers.

Participants are encouraged to gather pledges for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank by downloading this form. A commemorative T-shirt will be given to participants who collect pledges of $100 or more.

Participants are also encouraged to dress as voyageurs to celebrate the heritage of the Trent Waterway.
