Experience one of the greatest canoeing expeditions of all time!

Join us for this special 50th anniversary screening of the historic footage documenting Verlen Kruger and Clint Wadell’s legendary cross-continental canoe expedition.

In one remarkable season, these two adventurers paddled and portaged over 7,000 miles from Montreal to the Bering Sea, traversing Canada and Alaska along ancient fur trade routes—a journey captured on film as it unfolded.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience one of the greatest wilderness expeditions ever undertaken. Stay after the screening for an exclusive Q&A session with representatives from the Verlen Kruger Legacy Foundation.

Admission is FREE. All are welcome!
