elcome to the Canton of Harrowgate Heath, a humble community of individuals from eastern Ontario who gather regularly to celebrate the rich cultural heritage of Europe’s Middle Ages.

In the modern world, the Canton is seated in Winchester, Ontario and covers a region that used to be the old counties of Grenville and Dundas. Harrowgate Heath has also been tasked with expanding activities in the lands to the east stretching to the Quebec border, including the city of Cornwall. Our closest neighbouring cantons are in Ottawa, Kingston, Petawawa, and in the south, Potsdam, New York.

We are a local chapter in the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), an international society celebrating the life of medieval Europe between 600 A.D. and about 1600 A.D. The SCA is a non-profit, educational organization dedicated to researching and recreating the arts, skills and chivalry from life in pre-17th century Europe. It currently operates in 22 countries around the world, with an estimated registered membership of over 30,000 members.
