The water sure was cold! The Raisin River Canoe Race took place on April 10, much to the delight of the many participants who filled 175 canoes. The race is the longest of its kind in Eastern Ontario. First started in 1973, the 30km course runs from St. Andrews to Williamstown. The race is always held during the spring, when water levels are high and flows are favourable for paddlers. The fastest time out of all participants was recorded by Harold Walker and Pierre Brault, from the
Ottawa region, with a time of two hours, 32 minutes and five seconds. — photos by Doug Petepiece Paddling to victory
