HMCS OJIBWA season opener features submarine races Saturday! Not the ones you might be thinking of though. These submarine races are for children 10 and under organized courtesy of Explorers Association BPSC Scouts of Straffordville as part of the Third Annual OJIBWA Fest. Participants may race as many times as they want and will be eligible for one free prize draw ticket. Prizes have been donated by Harbour Lights Bayham & Area Community News. Fun is the watchword as HMCS OJIBWA celebrates the opening of its first full season on Saturday, May 17 right beside HMCS OJIBWA in Port Burwell. In addition to tours inside and outside the submarine, a great day of fun and bargains has been planned by a local group called the Bayham SubMissions. Proceeds go to the Museum of Naval History. Starting at 9:00 am and running until 4:00 pm, there will be a wide variety of craft and vendor booths along with a huge silent auction and face painting for all. For the first time Railway City Brewing Company will be having a beer tasting tent featuring samples of their great local beer. And if you get hungry, there will be a mouth-watering pork and beef BBQ right on site. There is lots of free parking and the village restaurants, historic lighthouse and Marine Museum are just steps away. All the festivities will take place at the HMCS OJIBWA site at 3 Pitt Street in Port Burwell. The Museum recommends that anyone wanting submarine tours book ahead by calling the Museum at 519-633-7641 or emailing details to [email protected] . It is going to be a busy day so book early! HMCS OJIBWA will be open for tours daily from 10:00 to 6:00 (last tour starting at 5:00) until October. She remains open throughout the winter by appointment and for special weekends. Group tours are welcome. Contact the Museum to make your special arrangements. For more information about touring HMCS OJIBWA, visit the Museum website at projectojibwa.ca.
