Regatta Committee

A century‑old celebration does not run itself. It’s powered by dedicated community members who work year‑round to keep the tradition alive. The Regatta Committee proudly organizes, plans, and delivers one of the region’s longest‑standing Civic Holiday events, bringing together residents, visitors, and generations of families.

Our Role

The Regatta Committee oversees every aspect of this historic weekend, including:

  • Coordinating water sports and lake activities
  • Organizing the vendor market and artisan spaces
  • Planning kids’ games, sports, and family‑friendly programming
  • Managing canoe races and participant registration
  • Designing and scheduling the annual parade
  • Arranging the spectacular fireworks display
  • Supporting volunteers, sponsors, and community partners

Our goal is to honour more than 100 years of tradition while continuing to grow the Regatta into an unforgettable summer experience.

Our Mission
