On Episode 5 of UTY, we are joined by Tierney Angus - Vice President of Friends of Temagami. We discuss the Temagami region and how it differs from other areas across Ontario and Canada. Composed of over 15 provincial parks, Tierney describes why the region is a great place to put your paddling and navigational skills to the test over its rugged terrain. As beautiful as the region is, it is currently under threat. Tierney breaks down the situation with the Solace Wildlands and walks us through the great work the Friends of Temagami are doing to try and prevent irreversible damage to this pristine wilderness area. We have included the link to the Friends of Temagami’s petition aimed to stop road construction and clear cutting in the Solace Wildlands below.
