Today I want to send out congratulations to my youngest brother, Carl, who completed a 14-day adventure on the waterways of Northern Saskatchewan yesterday. As part of Team La Loche, a collection of Dene Nation representatives, Carl participated in the Saskatchewan Centennial Canoe Race.
The race began June 18th and covered the distance from LaLoche to Cumberland House. Using canoes based on the northern river birchbark design, 31 teams entered the race to celebrate the province's centennial this summer. Of the 29 teams that completed the race, Carl's team finished in 21st place - not bad for a group with no formal canoeing experience.
So cheers to my brother. I hope it was fun, exciting and not too tiring!
