WHO WE ARE

Pulling Together Canoe Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing understanding between Public Service Agencies and Indigenous Peoples by canoeing the traditional highways of rivers, lakes, and coastal waters. Our vision is to lead the way in the elimination of prejudice and stereotypes by recognizing the past and pulling together towards a better future. We are committed to bringing people together and fostering cultural exchange through outdoor activities.

WHAT WE DO

At Pulling Together Canoe Society, we organize and help First Nations throughout BC host and plan the annual Pulling Together Canoe Journey. Our journey's and other events are designed to bring people together, foster cultural exchange, and promote outdoor activities. Through camping, physical exertion, paddling together, and shared meals, participants gain strong friendships and connections across barriers that may not have happened otherwise. The canoe journey has been hosted by dozens of different First Nations throughout BC. Each one brings a bit of their own culture and protocols to the journey and outstanding hospitality. Smaller events and "mini journey's" are planned through the year with the large annual journey happening every summer. Our events are open to people of all ages and skill levels, and we welcome everyone to join us for a fun and memorable experience.
