“Paddling back to our roots, with the next generation. A trip to Solandt Island in Quetico Park”

BAILEY, ALEX – As early as he can remember, growing up in the Niagara region, summer holidays were spent canoe tripping in Northern Ontario. These cherished ventures, are still being created with his family and friends. This passion for paddling was passed down 2 generations from Poppa – Omond Solandt. In the early 1990’s, as a teen attending camp YMCA Wanakita, this pastime evolved into much loved summer employment. Currently working as a Manager at a small manufacturing facility, spare time is spent fishing, wood/metal working and maintaining a small-scale homestead with his family in Ganaoque Ontario. The life focus has changed, but the tradition of wilderness canoeing passed down from Poppa continues with the next generation.
