Annual Speaking Tour
During the winter months, organizers of The Wabakimi Project mount an extensive speaking tour to promote the Wabakimi area as a world-class wilderness canoeing destination and to recruit participants for the upcoming season's trips. Presentation venues include major paddling events, guest speaker series sponsored by retail paddle shops and the regular meetings of canoe clubs and outdoor recreation organizations. At major paddling events, organizers mount an attractive table display where attendees can meet organizers and learn more about The Wabakimi Project and discuss canoeing opportunities in the Wabakimi area.
In fulfilling the mission of The Wabakimi Project "to promote the Wabakimi area as a world-class wilderness canoeing destination", the 2011-2012 Speaking Tour presentations will focus on the northern waterways of the Wabakimi wilderness area such as the Albany and Misehkow Rivers. It will also include information about self-directed canoeing opportunities in the Wabakimi area and how to participate in The Wabakimi Project.
