Beaver Club Gala: A signature event of The Canoe Museum
Saturday Oct 18, 2014, 6:00pm
As a special treat for 2014 Beaver Club Gala goers, we’ve got our own Ambassador at Large and much loved CBC broadcaster, Shelagh Rogers, adding her infectious energy to the mix. And with her this year, trying something new, will be singer, songwriter, pilot and paddler, David Hadfield, who will be a wandering minstrel before dinner, mingling with his fellow voyageur, and who, like Les Stroud last year, will treat us to some stories and music after dinner as well. Learn more at www.canoemuseum.ca.
