Roger’s Canoe Quest

This fall, Roger is embarking on a personal quest to canoe the wetlands and waterways of Manitoba. He’s exploring iconic sites like Big Grass Marsh — the birthplace of North American wetland conservation — to raise awareness and funds to support our wetland conservation work.

Roger’s passion for conservation is fueled by the landscapes he loves to explore. Canada’s wetlands remain his most cherished places, and compelling points of connection.
