"Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" PORT PERRY STAR - Wednesday, May 20, 1992 - 13 Canoe the Nonquon and Triathlon are June 6 By Marnie Luke Port Perry Star With snowmobiles, ice skates and skis packed away for the summer, it's time to dust off your canoes and paddles, and start practising for the 24th An- nual Canoe the Nonquon. There's just three weeks left to prepare for this year's race, which will take place on June 6. Organizing Committee mem- ber Joan Scott said she hopes to see many more people register thig year than the 50-60 canoes that raced last year. At times over the past 24 years, she said there were as many as 200 canoes in the race. "We're hoping people will cel- ebrate Canada 125 by coming out and taking part in Canoe the Nonquon," Mrs. Scott said. The race used to be the larg- est of its kind in Ontario, but is now ranked second, next to the Kawarthas. "We put Port Perry on the map with Canoe the Nonquon 24 years ago, so now we want to get all the locals who may have given it up years ago to come back out and participate," Mrs. Scott said.
