The St. Marys Museum is introducing new kayak heritage tours to go with their annual walking heritage tours this summer.

In a release, the museum says " in partnership with the Yak Shack, Museum staff will lead guided heritage kayak tours at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, June 10th, and Friday, June 24th. If the program proves popular, the Museum hopes to continue it into the summer." The cost per person is $15 and that includes a kayak, safety gear and the tour from museum staff.  The Museum is encouraging first-time kayakers to try kayaking prior to registering for a tour. To try a kayak for free, you can reserve one online at discoverstmarys.ca/yakshack.

Anyone wishing to take a guided heritage kayak tour should pre-register as space is limited. To register and learn more, call the St. Marys Museum at 519-284-3556.
