In April and May 2007, CPAWS-Yukon’s Three Rivers Project was featured in a national tour that brought alive the majestic Peel River watershed to Canadians across the country from Yellowknife to Halifax and all major urban centres in between. Through a 12-city multimedia tour featuring spectacular images, art, original music and the voices of Aboriginal peoples and conservationists who spent a summer journeying down the Three Rivers – the Wind, the Snake and the Bonnet Plume – we introduced thousands of people to one of the most amazing wild places on earth. Our hopes of sharing powerful experiences from the Three Rivers with Canadians from coast to coast are to inspire action towards protecting this and other magnificent northern boreal watersheds.

Additionally, during the winter of 2006 and spring 2007 the Three Rivers multimedia tour and book launch hosted by Juri Peepre visited 12 Canadian cities and towns in Ontario and British Columbia. CPAWS-Yukon thanks the many local partners who made these events possible, including naturalist and canoe clubs. The Three Rivers: wild waters, sacred places art exhibition was also displayed to rave reviews in five public galleries.
