Hello Canoecopia and The Paddling World!

I know the Canoeing Capital of Canada is Atikokan Ontario.

I also know that the toughest, lightest Kevlar Canoe in the World is crafted in Atikokan by Souris River Canoes - and,  the Atikokan business Fletcher Canoes create most remarkable hand-crafted cedar-strip canoes.

And I also know that, as well as serving as the Headquarters to Quetico Wilderness Park, Atikokan also boasts about the XY Company, who create the finest-crafted bent-shaft paddles available to anyone.

Little know to most people, Mr Nati creates Birch Bark Canoes by hand – exactly the same as the First Nations people used to make.  I will have to find the picture from the Atikokan Canada Day Canoe Parade when Mr Nati paddled his birch bark canoe down the Atikokan river for the parade – his canoes are priceless.

But, inspite of all that – I had never heard of Canoecopia.  Until Now.

 And, like everything else, if I want to learn about something – I build a website about it. 

Welcome to my Canoecopia Fan Site! I’ll be reviewing and commenting on all aspects of the entire event – playing the roll of a Virtual Reporter!

See you there!
