September 7 2019 Day 60

The river is still low even after a couple of days of rain , still not ready to help the lil canoes along on their adventures.

Today I set lil canoe #121 into the harbour to join the others patiently waiting

September 6 2019 Day 59

Thank you for following along with the lil red canoe project , I am very pleased to announce that the project is being followed in 10 Countries around the world with close to 900 views.

No video of the river today for it is raining , yayy , maybe it will help nourish the river.

Today was a special day for the lil red canoes , we had visitors drop in before the rain started.

Here we have Jamie on the right from Peterborough setting lil canoe #122 in the water and on the left we have Carol all the way from Michigan just set lil canoe #126 into the water and watched it float away.

September 5 2019 Day 58

The river this evening , we are still waiting for them to open the dam 20 kms north ,could be anyday now , then the lil canoes can get an early start before winter sets in.

Today I set lil canoe #120 to join the rest and share stories before they set out to explore.

September 4 2019 Day 57

Here is a short video of the Miskwaa Ziibi today , pretty much the same as yesterday even with a thunder storm last night.
I have been asked several times why the lil "RED" canoe ? , well the reason is that is symbolizes the river itself "Miskwaa Ziibi translated in Ojibwa is "Red River , a name it had over a century ago.
Today I released lil canoe #119 to join the others and then wait , again the lil canoes have no concept of time.

September 3 2019 Day 56

No video of the river today due to rain , stay tuned for tomorrow and we will see if it has changed

Here is an image of a lot of the lil canoes released over the last few weeks by people with wishes,dreams, goals or just "letting go of something"

This is were they will wait until the river reaches normal levels again 

As per the original concept , at least one canoe is released per day and since no one else released a canoe , I set lil canoe #116 into the water to join the others waiting.
