It was decided to spend more time in Bible Study in future programs; Mrs. Stan- Lyon read an inter­ esting letter from her daugh­ ter it canoe into our Canadian rivers and tributaries and paddle to one of the oceans. Eric W. Morse, an expert on our fur trade history who has traversed and written abou/t the old canoe routes of Canada, says there are as many miles of inland waters.in this country as in all the world combined. In fact it is estimated that one quarter of all the fresh water in the world is to be found in Canada. In an article published a few years ago, called ‘‘Canoe Routes of the Voyageurs”, Eric Morse suggested that, some­ times, as much history can be learned from a canoe as from a history book. If that is the case -— and I believe he. is right — many of us are going to learn more about Canada’s history when our attention is attracted to the 100-day Cen­ tennial Voyaigeur Canoe Pag­ eant next year. From Rocky Mountain House, near the Alberta-British Columbia bor­ der, cancers will dip their pad­ dles1 and follow in the wake of voyageurs and fur traders .along the early inland water­ ways. Their destination — Expo 67 at Montreal, a dis­ tance of some 4,000 miles! The Centennial Canoe Pag­ eant will create considerable excitement because it is to be a “race” between teams chosen by the various provinces of Canada and the territories. The race will be conducted accord­ ing to the rules similar to those of a car rally so that competi­ tive spurts and stops can be made at communities for the teams’ participation* in local Centennial Celebrations. Like the old fur brigades, they will travel in flotillas and judging will be done on a paints sys­ tem. While the race will create excitement it also will stir our imaginations. It will remind us how some of our colorful pion­ eers travelled and developed the early economy of Canada. It is incredible, as Eric Morse describes it, that an age before air travel, 'in a land devoid of road or rail, on a route beset with obstructions, dangers and difficulties, men burdened with hundreds of tons of fur and trade goods succeeded each year in crossing over half a continent and back again in the scant five months between break-up and freeze-up. The modern day “voyageprs” who have been chosen for the 1967 pageant have been getting ■into shape for the big event and this summer they will partici­ pate in advance trials. One of the test races will be held in August, in conjunction- with British Columbia's Centennial celebrations, from Fort St. James down the Stuart River to Prince George and then down the Fraser river through Quesnel to Soda Creek. The crews will portage by trailer to Yale and then paddle on to Hope, New Westminster and Vancouver and across the strait to Victoria. In the other test race crews will shoot the treacherous La- chine Rapids (now within the boundaries of Metropolitan Montreal) and on to the Expo 67 site-. From Montreal, the paddlens will move up the St. Lawrence, down the Richelieu through once hostile Mohawk country, to Lake jQhampl'ain then on to New York for the Labor Day weekend. There, sil­ houetted against the Manhat­ tan skyline and dwarfed by the sleek and modern ocean ships their journey will end for thiis year. Twelve canoes of special de­ sign, resembling the old North­ ern canoe type used by the early voyageurs, are being built • in Fredericton N.B. for the pageant. The first was tested in April on the North Saskatche­ wan River near Rocky Moun­ tain House, Alberta. The big race in the summer of .1967 will be one of the high­ lights of the Centennial. Many will be able to witness the pag­ eant and the others will enjoy following the teams by way of press, radio and television re­ ports during the 100 days. ■ Think Of it! — 4000 miles in 100 days. This includes portages over slimy rocks, up mountain sides t— lifting itheir canoes1 and heavy loads of equipment —■ sleeping outdoors — soaked hundreds of times — . tired, worried, storm-bound; plagued by blackflies, mosquitoes. Well! I have two comments, our fore­ fathers did it; I’m1 glad I was not invited.
