Canoe race, barbecue planned for Voyageurs stop in N.B.
Finlayson Island will see some excitement Tuesday when dozens of canoeists descend on the popular destination, as part of the 2017 Voyageurs Rendezvous Canoe Race event that is taking place this month across Western Canada.
Indigenous canoeists from across Canada are currently traveling roughly 1,600 km over 23 days in July, as part of Canada 150th anniversary-event projects.
They will be visiting North Battleford on Tuesday, where a number of activities are planned for Finlayson Island.
Kathy Schwengler is the event coordinator for the 2017 Voyageurs Rendezvous Canoe Race.
