ACROSS CANADA BY CANOE
TO RAISE FUNDS FOR CHARITY
- In early April, one of our own, William Vyse, along with two friends, Nolan Aziz and Georges Kirijian, embarked on a record-breaking single season 8,000+ km, 200+ day canoe trip across Canada.
- They started at Tadoussac, QC on the Gulf of St. Lawrence and, after nearly 6,000 gruelling and remote kms of stunning scenery, are now crossing Alberta and will reach B.C. in October. Their route takes them along the Peace River to Lake Williston, BC, where they will cross the Rockies. They recently changed their planned route to head south on the Nelson River from Prince George to end their journey in Vancouver, rather than Prince Rupert, to make it easier for family, friends and supporters to greet them on November 15th
- On September 1st they were interviewed by CBC Radio Saskatchewan. Click their media page to listen! https://www.canadabycanoe.com/media
- The objective of the trip is to raise money for True North Aid a charity which provides practical support for community-led initiatives in northern and remote indigenous communities in Canada.
- You can learn more about Will, Nolan and George’s trip and donate to True North Aid at www.canadabycanoe.com, as well as follow Canada by Canoe on Instagram for regular updates.
