Nicolas Denys Days and Swim the Canal in St. Peter's
Date: Jul 28, 2025
Nicolas Denys Days is a week-long annual festival that is designed to welcome visitors to St. Peter’s and give them an opportunity to meet local residents and their families. The many events planned for the week are hosted by various organizations to ensure that the whole community benefits from and participates actively in the festival. As a visitor to the area, this approach provides an opportunity to “get to know” our whole community and join in the fun all week long! It concludes on Sunday with the signature event “Swim the Canal”. Nicolas Denys Days is organized by Village On The Canal Association. VOCA acknowledges and is thankful to all of the organizations, businesses, sponsors, and volunteers who help make Nicolas Denys Days a success every year.
The volunteers of the Village on the Canal Association operate in the unceded territories of the Mi’kmaw People. This sovereign nation holds inherent rights as the original people of this land, and we each carry collective obligations under the Peace and Friendship Treaties. Section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982 recognizes and affirms Aboriginal and Treaty rights in Canada.
