10 Why is it called REDCANOES??
The red canoe has become synonymous with Bill Mason 1929-1988, the author, artist, Academy award nominated film maker. Bill loved his red canoes and was rarely seen in anything else. So when it came time to create a website it seemed natural to name it redcanoes.ca. Although no longer with us Bill Mason passed along his passion for a creative career and the love of canoeing to his two children, Paul and Becky Mason and extended family!

The red canoe has become synonymous with the Mason family. It started with Bill Mason, the author, artist, Academy Award nominated film maker and canoeing fanatic. Bill loved his red canoes and was rarely seen in anything else. His children share this love, so when it came time to create a family website it seemed natural to name it redcanoes. We hope that you enjoy the visual art, videos, canoeing lessons and all the related information here.
