Icebreaker's epic journey

A Canadian icebreaker's epic journey to celebrate Canada 150 is nearing its finale in B.C.

The 150-day Canada C3 expedition started in Toronto, traversed the Northwest Passage and stops in Nanaimo today before its wind-up celebration in Victoria on Oct. 28.

The icebreaker will be docked in Nanaimo from 2 p.m. on today, and tours of the C3 are open to the public.

“A journey of reconciliation, education, science and adventure, Canada C3 will foster understanding, friendships, and connections,” said expedition leader Geoff Green. “It is a journey for all Canadians to explore our enormous and wondrous coastline while considering the past, present and future of our country.”

The icebreaker will end its journey at Victoria's Wharf Street Docks next weekend with speeches, ship tours and musical performances.

The North by Northwest documentary on the expedition airs at 7 p.m. on CTV and 10 p.m. on CTV2.
