The 52nd Annual Canoe the Nonquon took place on Saturday, June 4 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. Many volunteers help run the race each year.
We could not hold this race without the following sponsors: Durham Tourism, Brock's, Practicar, Vos' Inependent, and the Port Perry Marina. Thank you to all of the volunteers who donate their time to help with the race each year.
The 2022 race times for all participants are posted as a pdf attachment to the right.
See everyone for the 53rd annual Canoe the Nonquon on Saturday, June 3, 2023!

June 28, 2022 @ 7:00p.m. – Merilyn Simonds speaks about Louise de Kiriline Lawrence (Canada’s Rachel Carson), Port Perry Library
Author Merilyn Simonds will introduce us to amateur ornithologist and nature writer Louise de Kiriline Lawrence. Through the mid 1900s, de Kiriline Lawrence tracked the sharp decline in warblers and flycatchers in northern Ontario and linked it to the roadside spraying of toxic chemicals—a decade before Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring sounded the same alarm. Louise emigrated to Canada in 1926, setting up a Red Cross Outpost in Bonfield, Ontario, where she later became nurse-in-charge of the Dionne Quintuplets. Disturbed by the media circus around the infants, she built a log cabin on the Mattawa River and spent the next 50 years studying birdlife and writing almost a hundred articles and six books about species that were diminishing before her eyes.
Merilyn Simonds is the author of 18 books, including the non-fiction classic The Convict Lover, Gutenberg’s Fingerprint, Refuge and most recently, Women Watching. She is the founder and first artistic director of the Kingston Writers Fest.
