ON SATURDAY, MAY 16TH

CANOEING WITH WATERWAYS:

Join us for a half-day canoeing excursion with both land and water-based activities and learning. This program is designed to create connection and build skills in a fun, low-barrier environment!

Who is Waterways?
Waterways Recreation is a youth-focused, Indigenous-led non-profit organization that partners with Indigenous communities, agencies, and partners to deliver canoe programs, which promote wellness and culturally relevant recreation to Indigenous youth across Manitoba.

Who is your facilitator?
My name is Ash Sinclair, I’m a two-spirit Anishinaabe from the community Sagkeeng First Nation, located in Treaty 1 territory along the Winnipeg river. This is my fifth year with Waterways. I’ve always had a deep passion for the outdoors, and spent most of my childhood outside in the trees and along the river and have always loved incorporating my love for photography into it as well. I, like many of the kids I teach have not had a substantial amount of time or experience on the water growing up but had always desired it. Being a part of Waterways gives me the chance to give these kids as well as myself a chance to learn and explore our peoples heritage and traditions.

This excursion is free to attend and we'll have bus tickets available for those who need.
