Canada’s Jesuits, indigenous hope canoe trip can foster reconciliation

By Mickey Conlon • Catholic News Service • Posted July 26, 2017
TORONTO (CNS) — The path to reconciliation between Canada and its First Nations’ people will ultimately be a long journey, but the road to healing a schism developed over 400 years needs to start somewhere.
The Canadian Canoe Pilgrimage is a small starting point that organizers hope can advance the process. A project of the Jesuits in English Canada in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the pilgrimage set off from Sainte-Marie Among the Hurons in Midland, Ontario, July 21 on a monthlong, more than 500-mile canoe journey expected to end Aug. 15 at the Kahnawake First Nation near Montreal.
The project, two years in the making, has brought together different cultures in an example of how to foster respect, trust, dialogue and friendship. The goal is to have the diverse core group of 30 indigenous and Jesuit paddlers — with others joining at stops along the way — become immersed in each others’ customs and traditions for an entire month.

Great Lakes Trail Extension On the Way
Saugeen Shores | by John Divinski
Saugeen Shores will soon be part of the extension of the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail.
Saugeen Shores will soon be part of the extension of the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail which is a draw for recreational and serious bicyclists.
Community Services Director Jayne Jagelewski says it doesn't mean new trails will be developed because the infrastructure is already in place.
It DOES mean that new signage will be going up to designate certain roads and trails as part of the province-wide trail.
Both Saugeen Shores and the Waterfront Trail are supporting members of the Ontario Trails Council, we thank them for their support.
