We usually go to the Minden Wildwater Preserve on the Gull River at least one day of the weekend from now until Thanksgiving. This is a great place to have fun and develop skills for intermediate or better whitewater canoeists & kayakers. Depending on where you put in and the water levels, it's a good Class 2 to 3 very technical run. If you would like to join us, we'd love to have you. Just drop me an email during the week before the upcoming weekend and I'll let you know what our plans are. I'm happy to do a little informal coaching or help you with your roll if you're working on skills development.

I am looking for canoe tripping schools, lessons, etc. etc. in BC or Alberta. Would like to be able to plan for about a week per month for 2011 spring and summer. I have taken three weekend whitewater lessons, a trip on the Thelon, and a small amount of lake and river paddling on my own. I am ready for more.

I am researching for an article about the Linkanoe, which was built at Gananoque, ON, in 1945-47. Ed Link was the inventor of the first airplane flight trainer, and those trainers sold to Commonwealth nations during WW2 were built in Gananoque. At the wars end there was no longer a demand for flight trainers, so the factory at Gananoque was kept going by building several different models of canoes and boats. Ed Link was a pilot, owned an amphibious plane - a Grumman Widgeon and leased some land in Quebec for a 'wilderness retreat'. Thru my research I know he had a cabin at a place named Crooked Lake, Quebec, and I would like to find out where this is. I've searched on Canadian Place Names both in English and French, and have come up with nothing, though I would have guessed there are dozens of lakes in Canada named Crooked. To kind of limit things to an area, my guess would be that he would have taken off from Gananoque and headed north, NW/NE for an hour or so to get to his cabin. Has anyone been to a Crooked Lake, PQ, in this region? And if anyone has knowledge concerning the Linkanoe or other boats built in Gananoque 1945-7, I'm interested. Thanks for the help. Tom McCloud

Roni Furst has made a formal agreement with the MNR to publish those brochures that most of us remember from the good old days.
They will appear in book format (rather than as is). This is a cost-recovery-only enterprise on her part, started 4 years ago. Perhaps you saw the copies that she placed at the book table at WCS 2010. The two volumes total about 4 inches thick.
At the moment, she is working only on brochures for Ontario north of the Mattawa-French. If you have old brochures that you would like to lend to her (yes, she will return them), please email her at stfursto@aol.com . Again, she is working on northern Ontario at the moment so please ask before sending her brochures for the Mattawa, the French and the south.
You can make a real contribution to paddling in Ontario by sifting through those files and telling her what you have available, hey, maybe even please your partner.
