  CONGRATULATIONS!   WE DID IT!    We traveled 2416 kilometers in our final week of our Journey around Canada, bringing us to a total of 22,617.57 kilometers.    Wow!    Way to go team!    Not only did we journey all the way around Canada, we did it with 1,500 kilometers to spare! Once we reached Lock 1 of the St. Lawrence Seaway Authorities Welland Canal, we launched our dragon boats and paddled up the Canal to the beautiful Welland Recreational Canal to make out way home to the Welland International Flatwater Centre!

Two of my active walker supporters Joan and Doug have a son and future daughter-in-law that just moved to Inverness this summer on the Cape. So what a great opportunity to stop by in Inverness to say hello and check out this very pretty town!

Lake Simcoe Ontario - Nancy Spies

I started my journey to Vancouver today with Pink Crusaders’ sister team Hope Floats. I was at our cottage on the north shore of Lake Simcoe so I am pointing in the direction of Welland, where the rest of the team is starting to walk from there-I need to back track to meet them!! On the way, I stopped at Mara Provincial Park, which is on the north east short of Lake Simcoe, just south of the narrows leading to Lake Couchiching near Orillia.  As a crew, our Journey will take us right past Lake Simcoe during the first week.   At the time of the first European contact in the 17th century the lake was called  Ouentironk  ("Beautiful Water") by the Wyandot (Huron) people. It was also known as  Lake Taronto  until it was renamed by  John Graves Simcoe , the first  Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada , in memory of his father, Captain John Simcoe, Royal Navy.
