The public is invited to pick up a free 2021 Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor calendar starting December 1 at selected libraries and visitor centers throughout the National Heritage Corridor. The calendar features winning images from this year’s Erie Canalway photo contest.
“The calendar showcases the unique beauty, history, and character of New York’s canals and canal communities,” said Bob Radliff, Erie Canalway Executive Director. “We hope it inspires people to preserve and celebrate our incredible canal heritage.”
Calendars will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, thanks to generous sponsorship by the NYS Canal Corporation. Calendars are available locally at the Ogden Farmers’ Library in Spencerport, Seymour Library in Brockport, Community Free Library in Holley, Chili Public Library, Gates Public Library, Greece Public Library, and Hoag Library in Albion.
New York State Canal Corporation Director Brian U. Stratton said, “The 2021 calendar celebrates our iconic Canal System by displaying brilliant photographs as captured by many of our canalside neighbors, and I encourage everyone to retrieve one while supplies last, so that they too can enjoy these spectacular scenes all year long.”
This year’s cover features first place winner “Butternut Creek Aqueduct, DeWitt” by A.T. McLean of Syracuse.
The 2021 Erie Canalway Photo Contest opens in the spring of 2021. The public is invited to submit images taken year-round within the National Heritage Corridor. Visit www.eriecanalway.org for information.
