The Canadian Canoe Museum has received a major gift that will be going to creating a community-oriented waterfront campus.
The Lakefront Campus and Gathering Circle, was made possible by the philanthropic efforts of former CFL player and businessman Stuart Lang and his wife, Kim.
Executive Director Carolyn Hyslop says they are incredibly grateful and fortunate for the passion, vision, and generosity of the Langs.
The CCM’s future home features a beautiful 5.3-acre Lakefront Campus that will extend and enhance the museum experience, offering visitors a variety of outdoor activities both on and off the water. The 1,200 feet of shoreline, docks, boardwalk, restored and naturalized spaces, and wetland will act as a multi-purpose outdoor classroom for learners of all ages and be an active community space.
The redevelopment of the waterfront will also include an accessible, year-round boardwalk connecting the CCM to the Trans Canada Trail and the shoreline.
