How To Celebrate
Each year, as more Canadians become aware of Rivers Day, participation increases across the country. From the Yukon to Prince Edward Island, events are organized to commemorate Rivers Day. Should there appear to be an absence of Rivers Day events in any given community, interested individuals can organize their own event or celebrate in various ways, with or without others. Some suggestions of ways to celebrate are to: Plan a picnic, plan a paddle-a-thon, try voyageur canoeing, share river stories, create some river artwork, and/or take a nature walk or a bicycle ride along a river. There are, of course, many ways to celebrate; the only limit is one's creativity. If those planning an event want to register it to spread the word or to look for events happening in a specific area, visit the Canadian Heritage Rivers System website Rivers Day section Free Rivers Day posters can be ordered through the website to help promote events or just to help raise awareness about Canadian Rivers Day.

Famous quotes containing the word celebrate:
“If you would get money as a writer or lecturer, you must be popular, which is to go down perpendicularly.... You are paid for being something less than a man. The state does not commonly reward a genius any more wisely. Even the poet laureate would rather not have to celebrate the accidents of royalty. He must be bribed with a pipe of wine; and perhaps another poet is called away from his muse to gauge that very pipe.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
