Through expeditions, geographic appreciation and knowledge expand

In the summer of 2022, explorers Kyle Ereaux, Graham Ereaux, Alex Traynor and Noah Booth travelled through one of Canada’s most remote regions beginning in the boreal forest at the east end of Great Slave Lake and moving north along Kaché Kaɂá, or Pike’s Portage, a historic route used by Indigenous people. The four men planned to canoe about 850 kilometres through the Northwest Territories and Nunavut until they reached the Arctic Ocean.
