2021 Virtual Parade of Canoes

Chapter Head, Alex Guthro, is organising a new virtual event for the upcoming 2021 WCHA Assembly. Click to play his video message to the chapter with additional text details listed below. 

The Assembly Paddle-By & Salute, and the Tour of Notable Canoes on the Green are highlight activities for many Assembly attendees. For our virtual Assembly this year, we’re putting together an activity called a Parade of Canoes.

You can participate in the Parade by sending in a video and written story, or photo(s) and a written story of your canoe.

To help with your story include information such as,

• Your Name, Location, and Chapter if applicable
• A description of your canoe
• What are its unique features i.e. age, manufacturer, build records, history
• Interesting facts about the canoe
• Maybe why it is an important canoe to you

We have 55 minutes allotted for the Parade so we are asking you to please adhere to the following criteria.

• The video and the story must not exceed 45 seconds. It can be shorter, but 45 seconds is the maximum time to show your canoe and tell your story
• Videos must be in MP4 format (I can likely help with this)
• Photographs must be in JPG format (I can likely help with this)
• Written stories can be part of your submission email, a text document, word document, or open-office format

The DEADLINE for submission is May 4, 2021 (this gives my Daughter and I some time to put the stories and photos/video’s into a recorded presentation for review by the Assembly planning committee).

Please email your photos, video’s and stories to WCHAparade@gmail.com

 If you have any questions please reach out to me at aguthro61@gmail.com or call me at 289-244-4455. I’ll do my best to answer any logistical and technical questions.
