Canada 150 Activity Guide

Where better to celebrate the nation’s 150th birthday than the quintessentially Canadian setting of Deerhurst Resort, a
lakeside landmark with a rich heritage dating back to 1896. We’re celebrating this proud milestone by honouring the
past, celebrating the present, and ensuring future generations enjoy the great Canadian outdoor experience that gives
our nation its character, and Muskoka its enduring appeal.
