Dianne Whelan ’83 is back on the Path of the Paddle with her paddling partner for her first week, artist, Wanda Wilson. Dianne posted that the “trail is in great shape. High five to the trail keepers. The Path of the Paddle has six connected trails that comprise 1200kms of the Trans Canada trail in Northwestern Ontario from Thunder Bay to Whiteshell Park in Manitoba. One of the gems of the great trail.” It is over 3 years ago since Dianne began first walking, then biking, canoeing, snowshoeing and skiing her way across the Great Trans Canada Trail.
