CNA stands in solidarity with the indigenous communities that we work in, and those across the NWT & Canada. We will continue to walk softly & with respect, and remember the footsteps of the ancestors that lived on the land of the Sahtu, Dehcho and Inuvialuit regions for time immemorial. Today we remember the atrocities that colonialism has wrought upon the indigenous peoples of Canada & the NWT, and look with hope in our hearts towards a brighter future.

Our Story

Canoe North Adventures is an award-winning adventure travel company owned and operated by Al Pace and Lin Ward. We have been fulfilling wilderness canoeing dreams since 1987 with Al and Lin’s paddling experience spanning over 30,000 river miles on northern rivers in Yukon, Nunavut and Northwest Territories. Who could have predicted that Al’s first arctic adventure in 1977 on the Coppermine River laid the foundation for a lifetime of exploring Canada’s pristine arctic landscape.
