  Canada c3 - coast to coast to coast - an epic journey of reconciliation, research and celebration

  Jan 2016 - now

  Founder & expedition leader

  Canada C3 is a Signature Initiative to help celebrate Canada’s 150th Anniversary of Confederation in 2017. The centrepiece of Canada C3 is an epic 150-day sailing journey from Toronto to Victoria via the Northwest Passage that will explore our largest coastline in the World, touching our three oceans, and celebrating the past, present and future of our amazing country. The 150-day expedition (June-October 2017) is divided into 15 major legs that will each have a cross-section of Canadian society on board, including scientists, artists, indigenous elders, leaders, historians, politicians, business leaders, youth, newcomers, journalists, celebrities, to tell their stories, share their messages, conduct research, create art and music, and together celebrate Canada. Canada C3 will be an journey of discovery, celebration, and reconciliation that will engage millions of Canadians from all corners of the country. A journey that will capture our spirit and imagination to help inspire a deeper understanding, appreciation and future visions for Canada. www.canadac3.ca Show less
