Canoe Building The wooden canoe is part of our country's heritage, a cultural icon with which we identify. In the wooded hills of Carlisle, just north of Burlington, Roger Foster helps canoeing enthusiasts restore and build their own canoes. Carlisle Canoe Company offers the opportunity to learn a dying art - the steaming of wood, the bending of ribs, the stretching of canvas around compound curves, and the precise fitting together of white cedar, black cherry and ash. Courses are offered only in the Fall Term. For more information, please call Roger Foster at (905) 659-0883.
