As part of the 10th Anniversary celebrations of the Great Canadian Kayak Challenge & Festival, the Steering Committee has invited The Timmins Fur Council to celebrate its 50th anniversary by hosting the official annual Rendezvous sponsored by the Ontario Fur Managers Federation (OFMF) on site at the 10th Annual Great Canadian Kayak Challenge & Festival. The OFMF will  also be arriving in Timmins to hold its annual convention that same weekend and will be celebrating its 24th anniversary as part of the rendezvous on site at the festival.  In addition, the True North Brigade will arrive on our shores of the Mattagami River as they host a canoe voyage via Matheson, Iroquois Falls, Cochrane then back to Frederick House River over to Night Hawk Lake and then on to the Mattagami River for a brigade arrival at the kayak event with request to come ashore.

Stay tuned for more details about these three exciting historical events taking place at the 10th Annual Great Canadian Kayak Challenge & Festival August 24th, 25th and 26th 2018!
