CANOEING NORTHERN QUEBEC AND LABRADOR
Al Stirt and Wendy Scott live in northern Vermont, close to the Quebec border. We and our friends have been canoeing in northern Canada since the late 1970s. We are drawn to the landscape, water, wildlife and people. This website has photos of some of our favorite trips in the Northern Quebec/Labrador area.
This site is not intended as a guide to the area, but as a way to share some images and stories from this extraordinary country.
All photos are by Al Stirt except as indicated.
Note - I'm on the committee organizing the Paddlers & SnowWalkers VT Conferences. For information on our conferences, CLICK HERE.
My article, Losing the Trail:Wandering the Quebec and Labrador Barrens, is in the Spring, 2016 issue of Nastawgan. You can see a pdf version of it HERE.
