For those who haven’t had the great pleasure of meeting Dave, he is the owner of Churchill-based Wapusk Adventures, a family-run dog sledding company. Dave and his authentic dogsledding adventures in the boreal forest is a favourite of our Polar Bears in Churchill guests.  This past month, Dave kicked off 2010 by travelling 1,200 kilometres with his team of sled dogs from Churchill to Winnipeg to raise awareness for Manitoba Homecoming, a year long celebration that will bring former Manitobans back to the province to participate in festivals and events.

Dave, along with four Canadian Rangers, began his journey from Churchill on Sunday, January 3 and arrived at The Forks in Winnipeg on Saturday, January 23.

These images were captured on Dave’s last leg of the run between St Laurent, Manitoba and Winnipeg as he drove the sled dogs down Asssiniboine river to The Forks.
