Métis Nation of Ontario President Tony Belcourt and Chair Glen Lipinski joined the seven modern-day Voyageurs in the Voyageurs’ salute at the Government Dock on Friday. The seven intrepid adventurers, ranging in age from 20 to 27, are embarking on the Métis Canoe Expedition 2, in which they are retracing the route of the original voyageurs who first forged a path through the wilderness into central Canada 200 years ago. –Michael Hilborn photo
