The Georgian Bay Symposium is definitely a bargain. It is low key and the folks at White Squall do a superb job. While nominally a one day event (Sunday), there are a few activities on Saturday, including a concert by local musicians. Fred Eaglesmith and his buddies provide some fun entertainment (Washboard Hank is the husband of the sister of a friend of an ex-girlfriend of mine - real local!). Recommended. Mike PS - White Squall is about 3 hours drive north of Toronto. The paddling activities take place on the lake at the store, not on Georgian Bay down the road. If you want to camp nearby - Killbear Provincial Park is about twenty minutes away. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sun Feb 27 2000 - 08:53:10 PST
