  1. The contest is open to Canadian residents only
  2. The photo must have been taken in 2016
  3. Send us your best photo of you or your family in a canoe, what you spotted while in your canoe, or even a snapshot of you portaging. What ever you like! Be sure to include where you were too.
  4. Contest ends November 30th

How do you enter?

Easy! E-mail us a photo, or send it to us on Facebook or Twitter (and give us a like or follow while you're there!)
