Greg and Ted Cowan have
added to their laurels as expert.
canoeists.
The Cowan Brothers partici-
pated in a 10 team 350 mile canoe
trip from Toronto through Lake
Ontario and the St. Lawrence
River to Montreal.
Only two teams completed that
trip. One led by Greg, the other
by his brother Ted.
It was a grueling test of
stamina and skill. On the trip they
had to negotiate the Lachine
Rapids which Greg said was an
,extremely exciting experience.
They had fog and storms to
contend with, also, some very hot
days as well.
They were in sight of the oil
slick that recently polluted the St.
Lawrence but they did not run
into it as they were near the north
shore at the time.
The majority of the paddlers
were unable to cope with the 65
miles a day that the Cowan
Brothers were able to maintain,
and complete the trip.
Mr. Cowan quoted the men of
the teams as saying that no
financial awards could have
compared with the marvellous
experience the trip afforded
them.
After completion of the 350
mile trip the brothers went to
Frederickton, N.B. there they
were competitors, with 30 other
canoeists, in a twelve mile race
capturing first place for which
they received a beautiful trophy
and a $500. cheque.
The second place,finisher was a
man using a Cowan built canoe he
had purchased here earlier. He
did not expect the Cowans to be in
- the race against him in one of
their own canoes .
