Speaker Series – Max Finklestein

Max & Connie’s Most Excellent Road and Rowed Trip

Max Finkelstein, a much admired canoeist named one of Canada’s Top 100 Living Explorers, and his wife Connie Downes, both of them biologists, are now retired but busier than ever. Follow them as, with Yuri their “brand-new”1978 trailer, they embark on a journey of Canadian discovery in their post-retirement dream trip from Ottawa to the Yukon. Experience travel down two challenging bucket-list rivers in an adventure that reminded them of just how highly Canada ranks in the world as a country full of beauty, adventure, and friendly helpful people.
