Since there is SOOOoo much going on these days (in terms of canoe events and personal lives) the decision was made to dove tail this year's Armada into the Stoney CreekStonycreek Rendezvous scheduled for May 15, 16, 17.
Last year's event was a fun weekend with high water and lots of different runs available, including the night time paddling at the Greenhouse Park Fest site play wave. Links for info can be found at...

Re: 2015 Armada - Keeping it simple....
I'd love to actually paddle Stoney Creek. Shade Creek was fun last year. I'll miss it all this year.
I do hope to get down that way Memorial Day or early June.

I voted honestly, but I may not have contributed useful data.... It's too far for me on account of the Atlantic being in the way.

I been going to Stoneyfest since I was a lurker and wouldn't miss it. Great call to tie the Armada into this event again this year.
