Fundy Trail. Still Wild, Just Easier To Get To
One of the largest wild stretches of North America’s east coast—New Brunswick’s coastline just west of Fundy National Park—will get a little busier this spring with the construction of a tourist road from Big Salmon River to Fundy National Park. The new road, a continuation of the existing Fundy Trail road, will run along the coast for about 10 kilometres and then turn inland to connect with Fundy National Park. The road will have parking spots and lookouts dotted along its length and nice easy trails down to the rocky beaches. Kayaking this beautiful stretch of coast will still be a fantastic experience. You might just have to start sharing the beaches. —Doug Scott
Students Learn the Three Rs: Reach, Rotate, and Recover
Eight high school seniors in the Vancou- ver Island community of Ucluelet are swapping books and pens for kayaks and paddles. Students will learn wilder- ness first aid, VHF radio operations and kayaking skills while earning B.C. assis- tant guide certification. “We wanted to get away from the idea of just being a [phys- ed] course,” Lewis Duffy, a USS instruc- tor, told the Westcoaster newspaper. “We wanted it to be an employment-training type of course.” Graduates will be perfect- ly situated to work in the nearby Pacific Rim National Park, where certification is a requirement. The only hurdle standing in the students’ way may be their age—as- sistant guides must be at least 18.
