Modern day Voyageur on cross-country expedition makes it to Medicine Hat
MEDICINE HAT, AB — There are a number of people celebrating Canada’s 150th birthday in their own unique way but Mike Ranta is marking the occasion in a way that’s quintessentially Canadian.
The modern day Voyageur is canoeing and portaging across the country.
“We’re paddling across Canada to show appreciation to our first responders,” says Ranta. “Our first responders are in my opinion — they’re our true Canadians. They’re a group of people that run into situations most people run away from.”
