Gatineau River (Chimeda 2019)

Chimeda - We are paddling; youth environmental and cultural learning canoe trip project took place June 14-16, 2019 . The project was a partnership between Kitigan Zibi First Nation, local community members in Chelsea/Wakefield QC, and the Canadian Canoe Foundation. Algonquin youth from the community of Kitigan Zibi (1 hour north from Wakefield) and non-indigenous youth from Wakefield and Chelsea paddled a section of the Gatineau River (Low to Chelsea) together in order to learn about each other's communities and the beautiful river that we live along. Funding for this project was secured through community fundraising and donations through the Canadian Canoe Foundation. A big thanks to all project participants and funders!
