Join Connected in Motion on a 3-day, 2-night flat water canoe trip for adults (18+) with Type 1 diabetes.
North of Parry Sound, nestled between Lake Nipissing and Georgian Bay, lies French River Provincial Park. Within it’s bounds, the French River, designated a Canadian Heritage River in 1986, flows 110 kilometers from lake to bay. Historically, Voyageurs and Aboriginal people used the river as a place to meet and exchange goods.
The CIM team will use the river for a similar purpose. Over the course of the weekend, we will meet, exchange ideas, share stories and devise strategies for managing diabetes ‘in motion’ and living life with diabetes without limits.
Join us for an incredible action packed and fun filled experience with a group of extraordinary people.
No paddling experience necessary. Base level of fitness required. We will be paddling 4-6 hours per day and have a few portages. A positive attitude and sense of humor are mandatory.
