The Jijuktu'kwejk Watershed Alliance is selling raffle tickets on a canoe!

All proceeds from the raffle will help in the creation of a wetland park in Berwick!  This raffle supports a design plan to help better understand how a constructed wetland similar to Miners Marsh in Kentville and the French Basin Marsh Trail in Annapolis Royal, could help the Cornwallis (Jijuktu'kwejk) River.  When designed well, a marsh could reduce erosion, sedimentation, pesticides, nutrients and harmful bacteria in the river, as well as increase wetland habitat for waterfowl and water birds, and provide walking trails to educate the public about the ecological importance of wetlands and water quality.  

The prize is a 16’ Nova Craft Prospector Fibreglass in Oxblood Red from Old Creel Canoe and Kayak in Waverly, Nova Scotia.

Should you buy tickets to support restoring the Cornwallis River? Or because you want to win that beautiful, brand new, red canoe. It doesn’t matter but BUY LOTS OF TICKETS! 

Ticket auction will close May 23rd at midnight, with a draw date of May 29th 2022.
