Description
We are joined this week by Gillian Burt, Executive Director of Project Canoe. Project Canoe is a charitable organization that provides less fortunate youth with the opportunity to experience wilderness canoe trips in northern Ontario each summer. Founded in 1977, Project Canoe has been using the wilderness travel to instil confidence and a sense of meaning among youth for over 40 years! Gillian shares with us some fun stories of past campers, the positive and lasting affect these trips have on the youth, and some future plans that the organization has in store. Website: https://canoe.org/Instagram: @project.canoeFacebook: @ProjectCanoe
