La Vase

If you’re interested in learning about the history of the La Vase Portages, or even travelling along them you may want to check out the Annual Canoe Night this Saturday.

Chairperson of the Friends of La Vase Portages John Wipperecht says  it takes place at Clarion Resort Pinewood Park at 7pm.

He says there will also be a display of Voyageur related artifacts, and a presentation on the history of the Portages.

Wipprecht says this is also a special commemorative year as it marks the 400th Anniversary of explorer Samuel De Champlain traversing through the area.

The cost to attend is $10v and there will be food, contests, prizes and a cash bar. For more information, check out the Friends of La Vase Portages on Facebook.
