About the Museum
The Canadian Canoe Museum is North America's only canoe museum. With more than 600 canoes and kayaks and 1,000 related artifacts, The Canadian Canoe Museum's collection is the largest of its kind.
Our exhibits explore how the canoe defines the Canadian character and spirit. Experience a dramatic waterfall upon entering, hear creation stories inside a traditional Mi'kmaq wigwam, or try your hand building a birch bark canoe in the new Preserving Skills Gallery. Feel what it was like living as a voyageur during the Fur Trade era, plan a prospecting expedition from the gold rush days, and enjoy the cottaging lifestyles of the early 20th century.

Our future plans include a paddling area and outdoor learning centre in 2004.
The canoe is the ultimate link to Canada's rich cultural heritage, connecting the people, the past and the unique Canadian landscape. Come to the Museum and discover the enduring significance of the canoe to the people of Canada.
