Canadian Canoe Museum: A New Home for Paddled Watercraft
The Canadian Canoe Museum in Peterborough, Ontario, is a purpose-built facility housing the world’s largest collection of paddled watercraft. Designed by Michael Gallant, it emphasizes sustainability and community engagement, making it a significant cultural landmark. The museum’s innovative architecture reflects the spirit of the canoe and promotes environmental responsibility through its use of mass timber. This project not only preserves history but also fosters a deeper connection to nature and community.
