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

- 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.
