Approximately 100 canoes carrying First Nations families will draw thousands of visitors to Campbell River in August for Standing Together – Tribal Journeys 2017.

The Aug. 5 event will take place over several hours. Canoes will leave the shores of Cape Mudge starting at 10:15 that morning and arrive at noon at the Tyee Spit.

A public feast at the Wei Wai Kum Thunderbird Hall will follow.  Full Story
