Wooden Canoes are in the Blood
Perhaps Dick Persson was there. I know several who bailed for various reasons.
Unfortunately, I missed it this year. I was seconded to help friends of the Aka:We Canoe Club co-host the first annual 1000 Canoes / A Day of a Thousand Canoes (http://1000canoes.com/ ) on the Grand River (A Canadian Heritage River).
For a first time event, there were some logistical kinks to iron out, but the 18 km paddle down river was very enjoyable -even though I didn't get a coffee at the Tim Horton's "Paddle-Through". There should be lots of photos available sometime as there were zillions of photographer's present, including a frequent fly-over by a float plane.

Macky, I believe the USCG rating would have been fine....I'm assuming you're asking about requirements for the Day of 1000 Canoes....Canadian approved means approved by our Ministry of Transport....same as you have Coast Guard approved PFDs
