Roy MacGregor – No Canoe, No Canada
Episode 43
Award-winning journalist and best-selling author, Roy MacGregor discusses the history of the canoe and how it continues to capture the imaginations of people across Canada and beyond
“If the canoe is not on the Canadian flag, it is most certainly to be found in the Canadian imagination.”
While Roy MacGregor wasn’t born in a canoe, growing up in and around Ontario’s Algonquin Park, he might as well have been. For as long as he can remember, he’s had a self-described love affair with the canoe and all it represents to this nation of ours.
An award-winning journalist and best-selling author, MacGregor has spent decades at the top of his game covering everything from politics, to hockey, to reconciliation, to the many strands of life that make up this wonderful and complicated nation of ours. Through all of that, his main passion has been the canoe and the Canadian rivers and lakes it has navigated for thousands of years.
