You are invited to participate in Port Hope’s first ever wheelbarrow parade!

Port Hope is home to the world’s largest monument dedicated to Farley Mowat; the drystone walled structure with an overturned sailboat is called the Boat-Roofed House and is currently located on private property at 20 Catherine Street, Port Hope. We are inviting you to help us ceremoniously relocate the structure on Saturday October 8, 2016 at 11:00am.

The purpose of relocating the structure is to create a public and permanent tribute to one of Canada’s greatest literary figures, a fervent environmentalist and one of Port Hope’s most distinguished residents.

Much of the work in dismantling, relocating the stone and professionally reassembling this iconic structure will take place during the week starting Monday October 3^rd and will culminate in a Festival on the Saturday and Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend.  We are inviting dignitaries, event sponsors and the public to help us make this monumental move by participating in a ceremonial parade carrying some of the smaller stones, by hand and in wheel barrows, to the new location at the East Side Ganaraska Park (Mill Street, Port Hope).

  

What: Following Farley - Wheelbarrow Parade

When: Saturday October 8, 2016 @ 11:00 am

Hard to read - but not hard to get to - Play Reading Canadian Rajah

Monday August 29th at Wesley Church 2089 Lakeshore Road, Port Hope, ON L1A 3V7 Free reading of Canadian Rajah by Dave Carley. Join us at 7 pm 10 km west of Port Hope and 10 km of Newcastle Harbour on beautiful Lakeshore Road.

August 29th preview at Wesleyville of fascinating new Dave Carley play

Chick Reid stars in a sneak preview of Dave's new play Canadian Rajah. The staged reading is taking place at the enchanting Wesleyville Arts Centre on Monday, August 29.

Canadian Rajah tells the bizarre but true story of Esca Brooke Daykin, who was exiled from Sarawak (now part of Malaysia) and ended up in Madoc, Ontario. The eldest son of the then independent country's rajah, Esca by rights should have been the Rajah of Sarawak - but that country's loss is our gain. Join actors Chick Reid and Richard Lee (below), as well as some of Esca's descendents -  and hear discover more about the incredible life of Esca.

The reading is at 7 pm - exact directions will be posted here soon. Admission is free but donations will be happily accepted.
