Voyageur Canoeing

Fort Langley Voyageur Canoeing was amazing, we left for Fort before school started, got into groups, into rows of two and entered our canoes. We paddled around before we met back at the dock, where a local Chieftain sang us of and gave us a prayer for a good voyage. We left, our team leading the pack and eventually leaving it, until we had to turn around and come back and wait for the others. We carried on stopping every once and a wail to learn about voyageurs and there way of life, or to stop for a break. be entered a channel that lead us to a park, where was sat and ate our food, before a man talked to us about the salmon that live in the Fraser and come up and down these channels when lying there eggs. We got back in our boats, went back up the channel. Our teachers decided to spice up the field trip by having a race, sadly our team was out of steam from doing so good at the start, to coming in last place. We then had to carry out canoe out of the water and onto a plat form to be taken away, I had a lot of fun and if your in the area check it out!
