Hello from Riding Mountain National Park in Manitoba. Came across this site a few weeks ago and have learned a ton already!
I bought my first 14 foot fibreglass canoe when I was 12 after working the summer at my uncle's raspberry farm in BC. My wife and I paddle the local creeks and rivers in whitewater qayaqs in spring and also do several flat water canoe trips in Manitoba and Ontario each year. We've spent quite a bit of time in the Experimental Lakes Area and made our first trip to Woodland Caribou this summer. We plan to be back there a lot! We spent 12 days on a sea kayak trip out of Pelly Bay, Nunavut a few years ago and a pac boat trip on Baffin Island is on the wish list. Working in the north makes these trips easier logistically.
Thanks for all your great stories, tips, boat builds and photos.
