The 51st Annual Canoe the Nonquon took place on Saturday, June 1 in Port Perry. The race is sanctioned by the Ontario Marathon Canoe and Kayak Racing Association (OMCKRA). The race was started in 1969 by the Lake Scugog Historical Society as a fundraiser for the Scugog Shores Museums. Over 40 volunteers help plan and organize the race each year.

We could not hold this race without the following sponsors: Brock's, Practicar, Vos' Inependent, Signworks, Kawartha Outfitters and the Port Perry Marina.  Thank you to the Port Perry Smokehouse for providing $5 off coupons to all our participants.  Thank you to the many local businesses who donated gift items for our silent auction.  Finally, thank you to all the volunteers who donate their time to help with the race each year.

The 2019 race times for all participants are posted as a pdf attachment to the right.

See everyone for the 52nd annual Canoe the Nonquon on Saturday, June 6, 2020!
