The Island Brave canoe club from Snuneymuxw First Nation is not only looking ahead to its regular racing season at other Coast Salish communities around the Salish Sea, it is looking internationally.

Since late last year, the club has started fundraising so that it can take part in the Moloka’I Hoe men’s outrigger race in Hawaii.

More than 1,000 paddlers from around the world take part in the race that began in 1952. Photo courtesy of Chanttel White.
