The Quetico Foundation Launches The #QueticoPortageChallenge
The Quetico Foundation, who are dedicated to the protection of wilderness with a particular focus on Quetico Wilderness Provincial Park, have launched the #QueticoPortageChallenge.
“This Spring, learn how you can support and raise awareness in creative ways and inspire others to do so as well. If you visited Quetico or it’s on your list of places to visit, we invite you to participate in the first annual #QueticoPortageChallenge in support of ongoing stewardship.”
Pick a Quetico portage route and complete that same distance closer to home. There are 587 portages to choose from, a total of 198 kilometres. Use it to raise awareness and funding for Quetico. Follow these four easy steps and invite people you know to do the same. Together, we can help the #QueticoPortageChallenge reach every corner of the earth.
