Details:
The November 23rd SISKA meeting presents Ann Duvall who will share with us her recent trip to Yellowknife including paddling on Great Slave Lake.
This presentation will include some Yellowknife highlights as well as a nine day paddling adventure along the western shore of Ethen Island on the East Arm of Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories. Ethan Island is 150 km from the nearest road which is in Yellowknife. Great Slave Lake is located in the southern half of the Northwest Territories and is the 11th largest freshwater lake in the world at roughly the same size as Belgium. You will be introduced to some of the history and culture of Yellowknife as well as experience the majesty of our Canadian northern wilderness.
Ann moved from Barrie, Ontario to Victoria in November 2020 and has been a member of SISKA since summer 2021. She has her Paddle Canada Level 2 kayaking skills and not only enjoys being a member of SISKA but also take advantage of what our organization has to offer. In addition to kayaking on local day trips, Ann has been fortunate to have longer kayaking adventures that include Norway, the Broughton Archipelago, Baja, and occasional summer trips to Georgian Bay, Ontario which is a jewel of a place to paddle.
