Beyond the Canoe: Outdoor Recreation on the North Shore
This project explores non-traditional, or alternative sports that are fast becoming a part of the North Shore culture. These activities include overnight paddle boarding, rock climbing, ice skating, surfing and expedition sea kayaking. The series will highlight where, how and why people are choosing to participate in these forms of outdoor recreation. Long recognized as a canoeing mecca with the Boundary Waters at the doorstep of Cook County, these new alternative means of outdoor recreation are bringing a new generation and culture to our region.
$1,775,000 the first year and $1,700,00 the second year are to the Association of Minnesota Public Educational Radio Stations for production and acquisition grants in accordance with Minnesota Statutes section 129D.19.Of this amount, $75,000 the first year is for the Veterans' Voices program to educate and engage communities regarding veterans' contributions, knowledge, skills and experiences with an emphasis on Korean War veterans.
There will be an increase in locally-focused and Minnesota focused content produced by public radio that is designed to increase access to this changing part of of our region's culture. It will provide Minnesotans of all ages, ethnicities, abilities and incomes with better access to cultural and historical programming through public broadcasting.
