Re-enactment of Native/Voyageur Fur Trade Route 1814

Nottawasaga River - Edenvale, ON (Glengarry Landing) to the mouth of the Nottawasaga River (Nancy Island Historic Site) - 25 - 30 km River Run

Friday, July 25th - Starting at 9:00am and ending the latest by 2:00pm.

Wasaga under Siege 2008 is excited to announce that a re-enactment of a convoy of voyageur canoes re-enacting a trek of the Nottawasaga River fur trade route 1814 will be added to the list of great activities taking place this year. The Upper Nottawasaga River is basically the same way it looked in 1814 and spectators will have a great opportunity to watch as hearty re-enactors experience the environment and hardships that original natives and voyageurs experienced first hand as they paddled and portaged along this historic waterway.  Wasaga Beach residents, especially those who reside along the river and other public spectators who show their loyalty to King George III by cheering on our hearty crews, flying the British colours or showing their loyalty in other forms will receive a token of the King's appreciation and a musket or cannon salute. For more information regarding this exciting new component please contact David Brunelle at wasagaundersiege1812@rogers.com or 705-549-0463.

Look forward to hearing from you!!
