PAD2O Ottawa River Canoe Day Trip

September 22, 2011

What an amazing day.
With 18 boats, 42 of us made our way from Victoria Island, just below the Parliament Buildings, back to the school. The weather was fantastic, it was hot, no wind and the sun came out. It took us less than 3.5 hours and that was with a solid lunch break on the water. You really couldn't ask for a better day.

Check out the video and read the comments by the students to hear their stories.


Also a quick thank you to our wonderful volunteers who delivered trailers, motored along with us, and paddled with us. This program really wouldn't be possible without your generosity.

Welcome Back

Welcome back to a brand new school year. This is going to be a good one.

All the trips have been posted on the calendar shown below and we are going to be busy. Canoeing, hiking, moving water, orienteering, rock climbing, xc skiing and building quinzhees.

To all parents - there is a parent information evening just for Outdoor Ed on Sept. 14 @ 6:00 PM in the Outdoor Ed room. I hope you can make it.

Let's start the year off right and make it a good one.
