CanaTREK Summits Of Canada Expedition
 About Us The CanaTREK, Summits Of Canada Expedition 2006 is the single largest expedition of discovery and adventure in Canada and it will make history by putting the first Canadian team on the summit of every province and territory. The expedition team will drive over 25,000 km’s, canoe 400 km’s, be airlifted onto 2 glaciers, land on the ice cap within 800 km’s of the North Pole, snowshoe, bike, walk, trek and climb to tell Canadians and the world about Canada. In total, the expedition quest will take place over one year and the team will climb over 90,000 feet, three times the height of Mount Everest! With an emphasis on health, fitness and the environment, we will share our adventure with individuals who would like to follow the adventure and with teachers and students who wish to expand their curriculum. The Summits Of Canada Expedition offers a unique educational opportunity for school children, teachers, and communities to follow along with the team and interactively take part in the adventure. To date, 165 schools are already on board and numerous lesson plans on a variety of topics are being incorporated into the team’s website. This ‘Made-in-Canada’ opportunity encompasses both a regional and national focus. The Expedition will become a major educational tool for teachers to use with their students, and is becoming the single largest educational adventure initiative in the world. Values & Goals The Expedition has eight (8) principal values and goals: 1 - To make Canada better known to Canadians and the world. 2 - To put the first Canadians on top of the "high-point" of every province and territory in the country. 3 - To foster a healthier Canada by encouraging children and adults across the nation to become more physically active. 4 - To deliver the first live broadcast from the top of Canada, "Live from Logan". 5 - To scientifically measure the height of Mount Logan, Fairweather Mountain, Barbeau Peak and the Ishpatina Ridge. 6 - To offer educational learning opportunities to teachers and students around the Expedition. 7 - To film and photograph the provincial and territorial summit expeditions, and to share the human and geographical stories through photograph and film. 8 - To educate about "Climate Change" and to promote environmentally friendly "Leave No Trace Principles".
The legacy of this quest is not the footprints we will leave on the mountains, but the impact on people's lives.
Together we can make a difference.
