The public is invited to pick up a free 2022 Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor calendar 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 became available December 1 and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, thanks to generous sponsorship by the NYS Canal Corporation.
New York State Canal Corporation Director Brian U. Stratton said, “The 2022 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 the tour boat Lil’ Diamond III on the Erie Canal in Herkimer by Cliff Oram of Ilion.
Calendars are available locally at Hoag Library, 134 South Main Street, Albion; Seymour Library, 161 East Avenue, Brockport; Hamlin Public Library, 1680 Lake Road, Hamlin; Community Free Library, 86 Public Square, Holley; Brockport Welcome Center, 11 Water Street, Brockport; Newman Riga Library, 1 South Main Street, Churchville; Greece Public Library, 2 Vince Tofany Boulevard, Greece; Ogden Farmers’ Library, 269 Ogden Center Road, Spencerport; Chili Public Library, 3237 Chili Avenue, Rochester; and Gates Public Library, 902 Elmgrove Road, Rochester.
