CANOE TRIP
The Dancing the Circle of Right Relations Action Group
of Bay of Quinte Conference is sponsoring
a short Canoe Trip for First Nations and ‘Settler’ Youth.
The target age is high school aged youth, and there will be some adult
accompaniers along as well.
The canoeing will happen June 26 to 28, 2014,
paddling from Bobcaygeon, up the little Bob River, through Sturgeon Lake ,
through Lock 32, to Pigeon Lake, then through Gannon Narrows to Day Care
Island, owned by Curve Lake First Nation. There will be teaching and ceremony
on the send-off and at the end of the trip, and supporters and family are
encouraged to come to the beginning and the ending of the 2 days.
There will be a large canoe that can accommodate 13 people,
as well as other, smaller canoes.
Although the details are still in the planning stages,
we hope a focus of this journey will be “Caring for Waters”, and we will use
this opportunity to engage politicians and communities in thinking about the
importance of our local waters. To this end, we are exploring relationships with a
variety of potential partners.
We hope the fee for participants will be around $20, but that is one of the details
still to work out.
To help fund the event, the Dancing the Circle of Right Relations Action Group
plans to have another “Fry Bread Fundraiser” at the Annual Meeting of
Conference in Baltimore, on Saturday, May 24, 2014.
We will let you know of developments in the planning. Meanwhile, if you want more information,
contact Elaine Kellogg at [email protected] or 613-377-6406.
