The 51st Annual Canoe the Nonquon is taking 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.
The course starts on the twisty Nonquon River. For the first few kilometers there are many tight bends to practice your rudder turns. There are also some dead end channels along the river section (when in doubt always keep right). There is 12 km of river paddling followed by an 8 km sprint along the shores of Lake Scugog to the finish line.
Participants race the clock and can start anytime between 8:00 - 10:30 am on Saturday morning. This is a well attended race with a long-standing history in the community. Amateurs and professionals, young and older, may compete in a large number of competitive or recreational categories.

10:00 AM| Visual Arts Centre of Clarington, 143 Simpson Avenue, Bowmanville, Ontario, L1C 3K8
The Visual Arts Centre of Clarington is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Sameer Farooq.
The interdisciplinary practice of Sameer Farooq questions dominant institutional narratives in collections and museums. For over 15 years, Farooq has created community-based models of participation and knowledge production in order to re-imagine a material record of the present. Using museum display strategies as a medium, Farooq points to persistent absences in historical narratives, making buried histories more visible and offering counter-archives and new additions museum collections. Originally trained as a cultural anthropologist, he enlists the tools of installation, sculpture, photography, documentary filmmaking, writing and various anthropological methods to explore forms of collecting, interpreting, and display.
Farooq continues his exploration of institutional collecting strategies in Boop Museum. The exhibition comprises of de-accessioned objects from the Clarington Museum and Archives, who actively support and follow Ministry Guidelines and ethical museum practices with respect to collecting and de-accessioning objects. Working with a small portion of dolls, Farooq repurposes the de-accessioned objects to become part of a large-scale installation. The objects are displayed on museum furniture designed for people between 3 feet and 4 feet tall, creating a speculative museum made for children. On the last day of the exhibition, the children of the Clarington community are invited to the Visual Arts Centre of Clarington to “loot” the museum space created by Farooq. In keeping with his social practice, Farooq releases the objects back to the children, creating a community-based museum space while exploring the potential lives objects could have once they leave the historical archive.
