Trans CanEAUda Project at the Forks Gallery
On July 22, 2011, a team of 8 young nature enthusiasts arrived by canoe to The Forks Historic Port as part of a 7,000km trek that began in Ottawa this May. The group, paddling in a northwesterly direction across the country, is attempting to reach Inuvik, by early October 2011.
The Trans CanEAUda Project is an environmentally concerned group of bilingual current or former University of Ottawa students who come from all across Canada. Their backgrounds, interests, and canoeing experience vary, but they all share the same concern of our world’s degrading water environments. Their trip, supported by the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, hopes to raise awareness for conservation of watersheds, areas of land that water flows across or through on its way to a particular body of water.
