By some unexpected blessing, an application to the 3-day Rivers Clinic for Environmental Leaders (RCEL) program saw a small group of us UBC students going on a canoe-camping trip (courtesy of the UBC Sustanability Initiative!) over the weekend, along with students from other unis around Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. 18 of us - along with two coordinators and two canoe guides - made an unforgettable 60km paddle down the Fraser River from Fort Langley to Richmond's McDonald Beach Park in our two canoes, staying the nights out in our little tents. And every bit of it was fantastic.
