A great chance to capture the fall colours by canoe is coming up on Saturday.

The Friends of the La Vase Portages are holding their inaugural fall tour.

The La Vase Portages is a 14-kilometre section of the historic Voyageur canoe route between the Mattawa and French Rivers.

Chair-elect Darren Patey says this is a round-trip excursion, showcasing picturesque landscapes and some historical landmarks in our community.

“This is a perfect opportunity for all the photographers in the area, if they want to get some amazing fall shots, or canoeing shots. It’s just one of the great splendors of our community.”

A small trail lunch is being provided. The cost is $20 with registration requested by Wednesday.

“The Friends of the La Vase Portages is a not-for-profit group. So, when we run our events this is a way that we do some fundraising to help us with our cause. We’re trying to protect and preserve the historic and environmental surroundings,” Patey said.
