Slave River Paddlefest, Fort Smith NWT

Slave River Paddlefest
Check out these videos from the 2009 Slave River Paddlefest. This event is a positive protest against the proposed Slave River hydro dam to showcase the Zambezi of northeastern Alberta. Warm water, big rapids and wonderful hosts make the Slave a CAN'T MISS destination. These videos are 1.5 minutes each - perfect for e-mailing - please forward them to paddlers or friends who might be interested. - Kirsten Bradley, Fort Smith, NWT

Here's an older video, if you haven't seen Jacqui's video from last year's Paddlefest, please check it out as well. She included more information about the proposed dam. It's excellent, but a little longer – around 17 minutes: http://vimeo.com/6712338
