The Upper St. Lawrence River between Montreal & Kingston provided the life-line for the defenders of Upper Canada during the War of 1812. Every regular soldier, sailor & weapon needed to defend the province passed through this waterway, which acted as a superhighway into the interior of the continent.
Join us as we commemorate the war and bring the 1812 period back to life with battle re-enactments, English Country Dancing, workshops and so much more.

With so many unique and engaging events, visiting the St. Lawrence Region for the Bicentennial will let you truly experience the War of 1812. Learn about period dress or enlist in a militia - we have it all |
The War of 1812 coincides with the life and times of Jane Austen. That's why we're fostering a circuit of English Country Dancing and Regency balls in preparation for the end of the war. Who doesn't like a red coat? |
