On Autumns Doorstep: a time of change

by toddles on August 19, 2010

As summer days grow shorter and evenings cooler, it is soon going to be autumn.  While leaves falling from the trees are a sign for many that the warm days of summer are soon to be gone, change brings with it a chance for reflection and sometimes celebration of the wonderful times we had.

Over the past 15 summers, the Edge has welcomed dozens of staff who have contributed to making Northern Edge Algonquin the magical place that it is.  Many, have found their way into the hearts of guests by inspiring rediscovery, empowerment and healing.  Over the past three seasons, Alexis Burnett has shared with guests a deep appreciation of the earth and helped others make a spiritual connection to the plants and animals that call this little corner of Algonquin Park home.

At this time, Earth Tracks, Alexis Burnett and Northern Edge Algonquin are moving on and each following our own path.

We are extremely grateful to have shared Alexis’ inspiring nature awareness programs with our guests over the past three seasons. We have learned a lot from one another.  We look forward to continuing to support one another as allies as we all continue working to rediscover ourselves, empower each other and heal the earth.

Happy tracking Alexis.

~ Todd and Martha Lucier, co-founders, Northern Edge Algonquin

Algonquin Crossing

by toddles on August 6, 2010

For all of you who have paddled with us before or are looking for something ‘more’ in your wilderness canoe trip the ‘Algonquin Crossing’ is for you. This experience will see you travelling through some of the most untraveled canoe routes while traversing the northern part of Algonquin Pak. We will leave from the Edge and dip our paddles in lakes with such names as ‘Erables’, ‘Osler’ ‘Radiant’, ‘depot’ and many others. This trip promises to push your paddling experience to a new level and bring you to a deeper understanding of what this world-renowned park has to offer.
