Happy National Canoe Day, Canada!

Who knew, it's National Canoe Day up in the Great White North? Of course, it's great for all of us in the Lower 48 to join them and paddle along! In 2007, the canoe was named one of Seven Wonders of Canada by over 1 million listeners of CBC Radio. Afterwards, the holiday was started in 2007 by the Canadian Canoe Museum, in an effort to increase participation in paddle sports. Happy paddling, eh?
