Canadians for 2009

"What trips are going out next summer?" you ask. Great question!

It is a bit early to nail down all of our routes, but the plans are underway. In particular, we are still exploring the options for our longer trips. Three very exciting ideas, however, have come to the front. First, a possible return to the Missinaibi River. It has been over 20 years since our canoes made their way towards James Bay on this Canadian Heritage River, so we are thrilled about this possibility. We are also exploring river descents in the province of Saskatchewan...a first for Chippewa. Several routes have been identified, though we have not yet finished the logistical study for the trips. The grandfather of Chippewa's remote Canadian canoe trips, the Bloodvein, is also a likely candidate with its challenging portages and huge rapids. These are some amazing options for you guys.

For those of you who just completed your first Canadian last summer, plan on heading to the Wabikimi Provincial Park. Whether it be the Flindt, Allanwater or Kopka Rivers, true adventure awaits!

I'll be sure to keep you all posted. In the meantime, don't hesitate to email me or Sam with questions. It's going to be an awesome summer for Canadians.

I can't believe there are no comments yet. You boy's are obviously not using the tools available to you. Let's get some discussion going about these trips because I for one am very excited about the idea of canoeing any one of those rivers. Anyone want to help map some routes?
