A birthday paddle for Ukraine
June 5 was like another birthday but it could still not be more important to share a kayak day. I will teach them over the next summer months twice each month with the teachers for Ukraine and my students from Kyiv. They wanted to see the kayak I had shown them in my canoe post when I was in northern Alberta. The funny thing was students were speaking to me in English and they had asked some really good questions. My favourite one was why do you wear a uniform? I had to tell them it was a life jacket.
