Big Day For Canadian Canoeing Families

The beginning of May seems to be the shoving off point for two major Canadian canoe journeys.

We reported in April that a family was going to be Paddling Home (instead of driving) from Edmonton to Montreal. They set out today on a 3,500-kilometre journey and you can follow along with their route online. Keep tabs on their progress by following them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Here is a short intro video of our upcoming canoe trip. It also gives you a preview of our upcoming documentary https://t.co/BWgTPzLvXx
