virtual Wabakimi -- president's Report -- May 2020

This is like paddling along and all of a sudden you’re at a dead stop on top of a submerged rock. 

​Dave McTeague and I arrived in Madison, Wisconsin March 14th all set for Canoecopia (with our booth, map sales and Annual Meeting), only to have it all cancelled at the very last moment. Not to waste an opportunity, we had a grand breakfast at a local dive and talked about where we go from here.

 
At some point in the future, canoers will again paddle into the Wabakimi Area. We want every one to stay safe during this crisis.  In the meantime we're going virtual to stay in touch and share our Wabakimi hopes and dreams. 

Your FOW Board is making progress. Here's what we've done:
  • Started work on a comprehensive Wabakimi Canoe Routes Guidebook
  • Gained a seat on MNRF's Armstrong Forest Advisory Committee
  • Opened a positive dialogue with our Park Superintendent
  • Updated and reprinted our Canoe Route Map Volumes
  • Expanded our Board of Directors
  • Launched this new Website with tons of information
  • Implemented an Online Membership program & Map Store (see blog post below)
  • Published newsletters with trip reports

Look for our next newsletter soon.  We'll cover all these topics in greater depth.  

Virtual Annual Meeting
We'll soon send a notice to our members for our special June 14th Online Annual Meeting.  This will be a one-hour presentation and discussion. 

We're an all volunteer group...so we need your involvement.  Drop us a note at info@wabakimi.org and let us know your thoughts; or post a comment.
