Participating in a canoe, It’s like a canoe journey. So you’re starting from as young as a junior buckskin. And it’s like each race you graduate because you learn more and more. You learn to balance, communicate as a team. Soon as you’re young and you – it’s like when you first learn to walk, you learn to balance. So relax, balance, your voice, your teamwork, and the spirit of the canoe. As soon as you’re a whole team working as one, you can feel that same spirit and the canoe will take you.
