Lots of local folks gathered at Beavermead Park today to celebrate National Canoe Day. With children's activities, continuous paddling opportunities, a BBQ, displays from the Trent Severn Antique & Classic Boat Association and musical entertainment, there was something for everyone. I was able to participate in the family paddle and enjoyed the calmness of the water while learning about the Canadian Canoe Museum and its history from our guide Barry. —PtboCanada's Julie Morris

After spending a recent evening strolling through Beavermead Park, I was delighted to see so many Peterborough folks taking full advantage of one of the many paths and trails our little city has to offer.
Whether it's jogging, cycling, hiking or simply taking the dog for a walk, Peterborough has it covered!
