Symposium looks at evolution of mushing
The first International Mushing Symposium in 15 years brought out people who have seen a lifetime worth of change in the sport.
Stefaan De Marie, member of the Canadian Challenge and Ma-Mow-We-Tak as well as co-owner of Akela’s Den Sled Dog Supplies, decided it was about time they put on a “proper symposium” in Western Canada.
“I felt it was time and money was available to bring, you know, a couple of speakers out,” he said.
The three-day event in Prince Albert saw around 40 mushers from Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta in attendance.
