Journey North with John Dunn
Journey North is a richly illustrated account of John’s 8,000 km series of wilderness expeditions covering almost every step of the way between Tofino, B.C and the northernmost point of Canada on Ellesmere Island. John will share stories, images and videos from his 400 days of paddling, skiing and hiking. Journey North is a celebration of the vast Canadian wilderness and of the joys and challenges of long self-propelled journeys.
