MORE OF PORT HOPE
Port Hope is situated on the shores of
Lake Ontario an hour east of Toronto and
offers both an urban and rural charm
overlaid with modern vibrancy and
cultural allure. The Ganaraska River runs
through the heart of town and there are
miles of waterfront walking and biking
trails, along with serene sandy beaches.
The Municipality is a tapestry of quaint
villages and scenic country driving routes.
Plan a Port Hope overnight getaway. Do
yourself a favour. Take a day off.

PORT HOPE IS HOME TO THE WORLD’S LARGEST
MONUMENT DEDICATED TO FARLEY MOWAT.
The monument is a model of a boat roofed house
constructed with stone and an overturned walrus skinned
sail boat. The structure was built ten years ago (2006)
and is currently located on private property at
20 Catherine Street in Port Hope.
On Thanksgiving weekend, the iconic structure will be
ceremoniously dismantled and professionally reassembled in its new location at Eastside Ganaraska Park,
across the river from the Port Hope Library, creating a
public and permanent tribute to one of Canada’s
greatest literary figures, a fervent environmentalist and
one of Port Hope’s most distinguished and celebrated
residents.
