Great Lakes Cruising Club Hosts 60th Anniversary Rendezvous

To celebrate its 60th Anniversary, the Great Lakes Cruising Club (GLCC) will host its 2025 Diamond Rendezvous in Little Current, Ontario. Club Chairs Debby and Jib Turner say this is a homecoming of sorts, marking the 60th anniversary of GLCC’s first modern Rendezvous in 1965, held in Little Current. The club’s 25th and 50th Rendezvous were also hosted at this port.

The event will take place on July 13 – 17, 2025. The week-long event will have a variety of activities, including a trip to the Sheguiandah archaeological site, a visit with Wikwemikong Tourism and teachings on the drum and the Great Lakes, and an adventure to the Narozanski gardens at Pepper Point, near Sheguiandah.

According to the Manitou Expositor, GLCC wants to incorporate First Nations culture into the event. For the first time, an elder will give the official blessing of the fleet to start the week of events.
