Where's the canoe?

The canoe we used for the journey which took three summers was built by John Zeitoun of River woodworks, Wakefield, Quebec. It took us up 1600 miles of the Peace and Parsnip rivers to the source at Arctic lake in the Rocky Mountains. Then it took us through the rapids of the Fraser river down to the Blackwater entrance before Quesnel, B.C. This heroic boat, built entirely of birchbark and sewn with pine roots now rests in a special gallery in the Peace River Town museum in Alberta.
