Haida Cultural Centre and Queen Charlotte City

Today was our last full day on the island and took things at an easy paced today. Now that being said there was still plenty of photography. We started our morning at the Haida Cultural Centre we there are many Haida experiences to be found. Then some time along Skidegate shore and the balance of our day in Queen Charlotte City.

Tomorrow we depart our hotel around noon for the ferry from Skidegate to Sandspit where we catch our flight back to Vancouver. We will be spending the afternoon touring Vancouver then spending the night. Our flight back to Ontario departs Wednesday morning.  

That’s it for this evening’s updates and another beautiful day here on the island. Tonight you have a series of blog images from myself, Nancy McRae, Ryan Cowie and Danny Leung. Enjoy the photos and we will be posting our final update from Vancouver tomorrow evening.
