That the Parliament celebrates the 200th anniversary of the Union Canal in the Edinburgh Pentlands constituency; recognises what it sees as the ongoing commercial, social, and historical value of the Canal to the economy and community; understands that as part of the bicentenary celebrations, Scottish Canals will organise a flotilla of canal boats on 20 May 2022, accompanied by musical performances that will bring together canal users and canal side communities in a celebration of the past, present and future use of the waterway; further understands that the flotilla will leave Lochrin Basin in the centre of Edinburgh and travel to Harrison Park, where there will be a world premiere of Union Caledonia 200, a song written to commemorate the Union and Caledonian Canals' bicentennial, as well as a variety of musical acts on and off the water; commends the residents of Wester Hailes, supported by WHALE Arts and the Edinburgh Art Festival, for devising local activities to coincide with the passing of the flotilla, including a canal trail stretching from Hailes Quarry Park to Bridge 8 Hub and Paddle Café with a treasure hunt, raft building, art activities with artists Pester and Rossi, and a free community meal at WHALE Arts, and wishes the management and staff at Scottish Canals well for all its future endeavours.
