Welcome to Canal Day — the 27th annual!

Thirty years ago, the Schuylkill Canal Park did not exist. It was an
overgrown area that was often used as a dump. The government wanted
to fill in the canal while area residents wanted it to become a park.
Thankfully the Schuylkill Canal Association was created to preserve this
section of the canal and prevented its destruction.

Canal Day is SCA’s biggest fundraiser each year and the money generated
at this event helps fund the good work of the Association.

Today is a celebration of people and what they can accomplish when they
work together. It’s not an individual, giant corporation or government
agency running Canal Day. It is the work of a group of volunteers that
make this day and place special.

The Schuylkill Canal Association thanks our sponsors, Exelon Power,
Cromby Generating Station and Phoenixville Federal Bank & Trust, as
well as all those listed on page 5, who have given generously to make this
day happen. Their support enables SCA to provide a day full of fun while
highlighting the park and all it has to offer.
SCA depends on your support too. If you use the park to fish, boat,
walk, run or hike, walk your dog, or to enjoy the natural environment,
you benefit from the hard work SCA volunteers; including Upper
Providence Township and Montgomery County’s Park & Heritage
Services, put into maintaining this park.
Become a member, support the SCA and get involved by being a part
of its preservation and its recreation with all there is to do along the
Schuylkill Canal.
My thanks and appreciation to all the volunteers and our guests; enjoy
Canal Day 2009!

The Schuylkill Canal Association is a non-profit organization established by area volunteers
to preserve, maintain and restore Oakes Reach. It is one of only two remaining watered
sections of the Schuylkill Navigation constructed along the river in the early 19th century.
And it is the only one that has a fully operational lock within the entire Schuylkill River
Valley. SCA depends on the support and generosity of its local community to maintain
the area. We welcome new members and are always looking for a helping hand to maintain
and operate this beautiful park.
I wish to become a member of the Schuylkill Canal Association to support the
ongoing operation and maintenance of the canal area as a historic and recreational
community asset.
