In the spirit of a great winter city, the Flying Canoë Volant is a creative and interactive cultural celebration designed to engage local history and everything that is great about a long winter’s night. Inspired by the legend of The Flying Canoe and French Canadian, First Nations and Métis traditions, Flying Canoë Volant embraces Edmonton's beautiful Mill Creek Ravine and the newly-established French Quarter. ​ Following the warm welcome of the Edmonton community, the celebration also organizes school programming and The Flying Canoë Volant Races to further spread the joy, spirit and education of the legend.
