On June 1 2009, Tony Ebdon and Christopher Petrie embarked on an epic adventure, registered with The Big
Wild.
In 87 days, we paddled more than 2000km from Fort Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on the North Saskatchewan River, to Knee Lake, Manitoba, just 325 kilometers short of Hudson Bay.
As directors of Canadian Shield we raised $950.22 in 2009 for TheBigWild.org, that was matched by Mountain Equipment Co-op for Canadian Parks and Wildlife Society (CPAWS).
We received a grant from Alberta Ecotrust for community and environmental initiatives in
Alberta.
We are dedicated to community, the environment and having fun!
