Day four, Pulling Together Canoe Journey
A day to explore Harwood Island the flotilla of canoes left on a perfect morning. Lunch on the west side allowed time for a circle and an explanation of the island and it’s importance to the Sliammon Nation. The afternoon was for the Pulling Together family to head to the final destination to be greeted by drumming and singing.

Day two begins with rain but the sun is breaking through
Although the weather began a bit soggy spirits were high as PT 2012 set up camp. Day two had canoes in the water and apparently the sun is arriving.
