As a former ORCA flatwater canoe instructor, I was impressed with the information/instruction that Doug shared with the Canoe in the Mist group prior to the July 13th paddle. I missed an opportunity to participate in ORCA's Safe Canoeing Program back in the summer of 2001, due to the closure of the company that I had been with for 13 years, and hence the loss of my holidays that summer. Doug is a very knowledgable individual and is very good at sharing that information. Although it turned into a windy trip, I think everyone enjoyed and learned a few things about canoeing and the natural history of the park. Thanks Doug, great job!
