Experience The Canadian Canoe Museum from the comfort of your home with our new virtual tours! With lots of opportunities for Q&A, our virtual tours offer a uniquely intimate and interactive experience of our world-class collection.

Thursday, November 19th at 7pm: Artisan & Industry
 

Why did the small town of Peterborough, Ontario become a wooden canoe building hub of world renown? What were the building techniques and innovations that drove the new leisure market for canoes? How did the factory change the canoe from its Indigenous and artisanal origins?

Join Curator Jeremy Ward for a live virtual tour of our Artisan and Industry gallery, featuring hands-on building demos, rare artifacts and iconic wooden canoes, and a Q&A.

Seniors (age 65+) living in Peterborough City or County can attend our virtual tours for FREE thanks to funding from the Government of Canada's COVID-19 Community Support Fund through the United Way. For non-seniors, tickets are $15 and support the work of the museum and care of our collection.

Youth as Agents of Change series continues with this fourth and final installation for the fall semester: “Nurturing Our Relation to Place in Education” on November 19th at 12pm-1pm via Zoom.

In a globalized world, place-based education calls folks to learn intimately with and about place. By emphasizing outdoor and experiential learning, place-based education is a practice of thinking globally and learning locally. As community members, activists, and educators, it is important to continually engage in place-based education to participate in various ways of knowing and promote justice and solidarity locally and globally.

During International Education Week, join KWIC, Trent International, Champlain College and Trent Community Research Centre to explore place-based education—what it is and why it is so valuable. This event encourages participants to reflect and share their unique experiences with place, knowledge and activism and we invite you to join the conversation with questions, comments and interactive participation.

Register via Eventbrite by November 18th to participate. Zoom details to be sent via registration email November 18th. Registration link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/youth-as-agents-of-change-nurturing-our-relation-to-place-in-education-tickets-128550757777
