"Multi-day canoe trips and more modest overnight bicycle trips have long been staples offered to students in the outdoor education program at Centennial Collegiate Vocational Institute. However, teachers Paul Denoon and Wade Schwark recognized the timing was right to ratchet up the time spent on bicycles.
In previous years, Denoon said, a rental truck carrying all necessary camping gear would meet the students for the evening. It was agreed this year — to provide the additional satisfaction gained from independent travel — the students would pull all the required gear for three days and two nights of cycling. “It is the equivalent of a canoe trip on wheels,” Denoon said. Cargo trailers would be the beasts of burden.
Katie Gad, another Centennial teacher, with the inspirational off-site Community Environmental Leadership Program known as CELP, referred her colleagues to Wike Trailers on Regal Road in Guelph."
