Created in 2007 as a Canadian Awareness Day, canoe-loving enthusiasts have also made it part of the United States calendar. Canoes are one of the oldest forms of marine transportation, versions of which can exist in nearly every ancient culture on each continent going back thousands of years (8200 BC - 7600 BC).
