I am so thrilled to announce the this project has evolved to a new social project which will be officially launched in the spring of 2026.

Dedicate a Canoe is my new incentive to focus on going forward.

The lilredcanoes were only 1 inch long and only had room on the surface for a number.

These new Dedication canoes are 6 inches long with plenty of room for a personal message (30-40 characters)

This project will be free to the public and the only obligation to have you them set free in the Miskwaa Ziibi 

I will be accepting requests all winter and many ready for the spring.

If you or you know someone that this could be beneficial , reach out to me at miskwaa.art@gmail.com

Update on the "Message in a Bottle Canoe

Hi all , well it has been a few years since I had left off with this project and last winter I had thought about the canoe, did it make it to little bald lake ?, did it get snagged in the lily pads at Oakshores Marina ? or just sink     

Well I was very surprised to receive a message from the blog on May 2 2025, that Frank's dog had found the canoe (see Frank's message)                                                                                                          Since receiving his message it has sparked a fire in me to continue this project with a little twist, I will be creating slightly larger canoes to be designated as "Dedication Canoes" 

Stay tuned on details.
