Crowdfunding: Cross Canada by Canoe Documentary

Celine and Gerry from Canadian Voyageurs are starting a crowdfunding campaign to fund their Cross Canada by Canoe Documentary. They will be canoeing across Canada beginning in 2015 and they are looking to raise $30,000 to fund the documentary...

We chose a canoe as a mode of transportation because it fits our low impact, low cost - green way of life.  It's healthier for us and for the environment.  From toddlers to seniors - novice to world class athletes - everyone has fun in a canoe.   Canoes are affordable and durable with very little maintenance required, just the savings in gas is tremendous.  Unlike motorized recreational vehicles - they do not damage our environment - they do not pollute the water and air, nor do they disturb wildlife - you often glide along completely unoticed.  There is a feeling you can't get anywhere else, a feeling you get when you use your own energy, when your own power propels you and your craft.  When paddling, you have the time to appreciate and soak in everything around you.  Anglers, hunters, photographers, film makers, nature lovers of all ages take advantage of their silent nature. Paddling a canoe is an excellent way to stay fit.   The canoe is for all fitness levels and knows no social bondaries - it's for everyone! 

Spending time outside in the fresh air and connecting with nature is important to our well being.  Staying active is important for our health.

Something amazing has already happened as we prepared for this jorney. We joined social media sites like Facebook and Twitter.  While on Twitter we also created a new weekly chat about Canadian wilderness, Canadian bloggers, Canadian gear, Canadian parks - we called it #mywildCanada and it's become a HUGE success!  Visit our website for more information: mywildcanada.com  We are taking this chat on the "raod" with us - something that has never been done before...

We are looking for your support - please join us on our journey.  Plase donate generously - our goal is to raise $30,000 to fund the documentary.
