The Labrador Canoe Regatta has been held the first weekend in August since 1983. This sporting event uses voyageur canoes and is held over 3 days featuring teams from all over Labrador competing in 6 man (woman) canoe races, to see who is fastest on the lake. . Held 15 kilometres of North West River on Gosling Lake (at Gosling Park), teams of 6 persons paddle replicas of traditional voyager canoes around a diamond shaped course on the lake. There are races in several age categories for both men and women. The excitement on the water is matched by the fun on shore with various events, food booths and live bands providing entertainment.
