The Kahshe/Canada Canoe/Kayak Quest 2021
Friday July 30 to Sunday August 15
The three-part Kahshe/Canada Canoe/Kayak Quest 2021 will take you on a virtual tour of Canada without leaving the waters of Kahshe and Bass Lakes.
50 signs will be posted along the shoreline and the first part of your Quest is to locate them all and make a note of the word(s) on each one. 25 will be places in Canada, and 25 will be words of a sentence relating to the event.
Since you will be travelling close to shore in order to see and read the signs, I would strongly urge that you undertake this challenge by canoe or kayak, or, if powered, in a tinny or pontoon boat.
Once you have found all the signs, the second part of the Quest is to work out the order of visiting all 25 real locations in order to travel the shortest possible distance using straight line, as-the-crow-flies travel. If a location is spread out ( e.g. a river or large park), any point of that location counts as visiting.
The third and final part of the Quest is to reconstitute the sentence using each word once only and without adding extra words. Completed (and incomplete)) entries should be sent to keithonkahshe@bell.net by midnight on Wednesday August the 18th.
There will be two categories of competitors - Kids 16 and under, and Adults. Please give your team a name. Prizes will be awarded to the top three teams in each category - $50, $30 and $20 gift vouchers for the Kahshe Boutique and all competitors will receive a Certificate of Participation.
Rules
1. Submit an entry form to keithonkahshe@bell.net by Saturday August the 14th.
2. Try to limit the size of your team since the prizes will be awarded to the team, not to each team member.
3. Name your team.
4. At no time are you expected to go ashore. If the lettering is too small to read, use binoculars or take a picture and enlarge it sufficiently to be able to read it.
5. Take all safety precautions - life jackets, safety equipment, safe boating practices, parental supervision where appropriate - do not run out of gas, and please try not to damage any of Kahshe’s famous underwater rocks.
6. Submit your answers to keithonkahshe@bell.net by midnight on August 18th.
7. Results will be be sent to all team contact persons, and announced in the September Kahshe Krier.
