Canoe trip to Curve Lake First Nation allows high school students to interact with nature and Elders

August 30, 2023

Camps are arguably the epitome of summer, but not many draw people from across the world. The Rotary Club of Peterborough-Kawartha's annual "Adventure in Understanding" canoe trip took off Sunday. Twenty paddlers from as far as Japan are travelling up the Trent-Severn Waterway to Curve Lake First Nation. Throughout the trip, high school students learn about Indigenous history and how to respect the land. Claire Burnard, one of the guides, says students will interact and learn with Elders. A paddle will also be returned to its ancestral home at Curve Lake First Nation.
