Alumni & Former Staff (& their wives) Canoe the Red Deer River
The crew of the "John Rae" 2010
On the July long weekend a group of intrepid canoeists braved the heat of the badlands to canoe from Red Deer to Drumheller – a four day journey of fun and relaxation.
The John Rae’s crew was made up of Richard and Cathy Bird (M’64), Jim and Susan McKay (MG’67), Keith and Barbara McKay (MG’69). Traveling with this crew in tandem canoes were; Heath and Lisa Foster (A’85), Charles and Michelle McKay (AG’01) along with their two year daughter Shayla, and Robert McKay (AG’04) and Joanna Kissick.
The trip was organized to keep the tradition of the ‘big boat’ canoeing alive. Richard purchased the John Rae and two other large canoes (the Radisson & the Pere Brebeuf) from the school after it’s closure. Hopefully this will be an annual event!
