Six police departments and five aboriginal youth groups spent the day together in an annual canoeing event aimed at helping improve relations between them.

On board the canoes this year were fifty kids from Minwaashin Lodge, Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health, Odawa Native Friendship Centre and the Ottawa Inuit Children’s Centre. They teamed up with approximately thirty officers from the OPP, RCMP, Akwesasne Mohawk, Lac Simon First Nation and Kitigan Zibi Police departments and the host – Ottawa Police Service.

The police and kids in the 15th Annual Flotilla for Friendship launched Wednesday, July 8th from Dow’s lake after a water ceremony at Dow’s Lake. They later paddled the length of the canal, and portaged down the locks to the Ottawa River.

They launched again in the river just below the Bytown Museum, and then paddled upstream to Victoria Island for a traditional feast and closing ceremony.
