Canoe Cultures at Granville Island Public Market
August 6 – 9, 2026
Our first exhibition and marketplace at Granville Island was held in 2022 and has continued every year. This partnership began with cedar strip canoe demonstrations and our pop-up display showing the building process. The activations have expanded year over year to include a larger 20-booth Indigenous marketplace and more frequent carving demonstrations in 2026.
