Where we're aiming 

Over the next few years, we're putting together a trilogy of wilderness canoe expeditions tracing some of the most historically significant routes in Canada. Major travel corridors for Indigenous peoples for thousands of years, and significant fur trade routes for hundreds, these are a few of the trails that made the country. Put together, the three journeys form the historical fur trade route from Montreal to Norway House, just north of Lake Winnipeg, an epic wilderness journey of equal parts challenge and philosophical importance. More than just a canoe trip, we will engage in the history of the (back)country (its land, water, living beings (including people), and wild places). As a country formed from rather than in spite of its geography, these routes are an indelible part of Canada's foundation and thus its future. To understand this country and, more importantly, one's place in it, is to come to know, via direct engagement, our relationship to its land.
