Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

We are also pleased to welcome Le Boat to the waterway for its first season, and with the Grand Opening of our new neighbours – the Canadian Canoe Museum - 2024 promises to be a milestone year.”

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like)

Peterborough and the Kawarthas named the Inaugural Water Ways Destination of the Year

Wed, 15 May 2024 20:30:00 GMT

Annual prize recognizing communities “making memories on the water” launched in tandem with new show spotlighting Ontario’s boating destinations

“We genuinely believe that some memories can’t be made on land,” said Steven J. Bull, Executive Producer and Host of Water Ways TV. “Peterborough & the Kawarthas caught our eye in 2024 by welcoming the newest base for world’s largest ?eet of luxury houseboats, Le Boat, while also opening the stunning new waterfront Canadian Canoe Museum which houses the world’s largest collection of paddled watercraft. These incredible boat-based attractions add to the already storied history of the region which features the world’s highest hydraulic lift lock and some of the most beautiful and popular waters along the entire 9,500 kilometre-long ‘Great Loop.’ This certainly sets the bar high!”

Peterborough & the Kawarthas is known for its blend of vibrant city experiences, rolling hills of centuries-old farmland, and the lakes and rivers that shape one of Ontario’s favourite cottage country destinations. The region has been shaped by its connection to water – with the historic Trent-Severn Waterway winding through its communities. By car, it is located just 90 minutes northeast of the Greater Toronto Area and 3 hours from the nation’s capital in Ottawa.

“As 2024 Water Ways Destination of the Year, Peterborough & the Kawarthas will have an entire episode dedicated to its waters in the new series coming this September,” added Bull. “Ontario is a ?tting launch for our slate of new regional shows (with Florida and the Paci?c Northwest planned for 2025) and will celebrate destinations from Toronto to Temiskaming, and experiences from wakesur?ng to walleye ?shing, yachting to kayaking. If you’re ?oating, you’re boating and we want to share your stories!”

Hon. Neil Lumsden, Ontario's Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport, commented on the signi?cance of this recognition for Peterborough & The Kawarthas, saying, “This recognition appropriately celebrates Peterborough & the Kawartha’s thriving boating culture, which has for decades motivated locals and visitors alike to take to its waters to explore the region’s natural beauty and wealth of recreational opportunities on offer. I am proud that Waters Ways: Ontario will showcase the best boating destinations across our province and the small business owners and operators that continue to connect us to the water, bene?tting local economies and reinforcing Ontario’s reputation as a choice destination for endless adventure.”

Rick Layzell, CEO of Boating Ontario Association, expressed his enthusiasm for the new series, stating, "Boating Ontario is proud to support the new Water Ways: Ontario TV series. With an unprecedented content plan ready for execution, Water Ways: Ontario is set to shine a positive light on the exceptional recreational boating opportunities across our incredible province. Boating Ontario members have a ground ?oor opportunity to engage with this new series and bene?t from the
anticipated consumer engagement."

"It is truly an honour for the region to receive the ?rst-ever Destination of the Year award from Water Ways TV," said Joe Rees, Director of Tourism with Peterborough & the Kawarthas Economic Development. " As the official destination marketing organization for the City of Peterborough and Peterborough County, our team works diligently to position the waterway and recreational boating at the heart of our story. 2024 is an incredible year for Peterborough & the Kawarthas and this recognition couldn't have arrived at a more celebratory moment for our sought-after destination.”
