about

We Are New York State's Youngest Canal Ambassadors

We are a group of local volunteer kids. From serving food from our local restaurants to anyone who wants to come join us, to hosting events throughout the summer for all to enjoy, our goal is to help make our community better.

Our Mission

We will, by the effective use of the resources available to us, enhance the quality of life of all who participate in and or take advantage of our efforts. We will develop an ongoing program for the youth of the area that teaches the concept of service, co-operative work effort and individual growth. We will offer diverse hospitality services to tourists and town folks in an effort to increase business for our local stores and restaurants. We will create and maintain a bridge house museum for all to enjoy our heritage. We will host events for community growth and entertainment. We will work to keep streets, the canal and pathways clean and healthy. We will serve our village officials in any capacity when called upon.
