Calendar

During your visit to Obadjiwan–Fort Témiscamingue National Historic Site, be sure to stop by the outdoor activity centre to watch Anishinaabe artisan Karl Chevrier from the Timiskaming First Nation at work and chat with him.

Throughout the summer, he will demonstrate his traditional craftsmanship by building a birch bark kayak before the amazed eyes of visitors.

Dates and times: Monday to Friday, through September 7, 2026

These workshops are made possible thanks to the Algonquin Nation Programs and Services Secretariat.

Please note:

• The schedule is subject to change.
• Mini birchbark canoe making workshops with Karl Chevrier will also take place on Sundays, July 5 and August 2, 2026. Fees apply.
