The Voyageur Wilderness Programme integrates eco-practices throughout all components of its operations. This approach is based on our Métis and Voyageur heritage and the wisdom of our elders.  We were “taught” certain fundamental concepts and shown respect for “Mother Earth”, ourselves, family, and community and how everything is interconnected. The traditional concept is to produce youth who grow into moral, ethical, contributing and environmentally conscious adults.

The following list of eco-practices of our Programme delivery touch upon major areas that people can readily relate to.  From our “signature piece”:  the birch bark Montrealer canoe replica (which people immediately identify as VWP), our environmental “flagship” fully depicts zero emission, sustainability and links the past to the present eco-practices; To the commitment to carry it through to the last detail and incorporate it into every aspect of our everyday lives. These values are reflected by our personal, down-to-earth, authentic interaction with people. It’s a deep commitment by us – we LOVE what we do. VWP and its participants live and embrace the spirit, traditions, life-changing, timeless wilderness experiences that inspire our connection to the natural world.
