They used to show this every year. It is a great story of love, caring, and trust. The story is of a member of the first people, who carves a canoe and then releases it with the winter snow. He lives in the mountains far from the sea.
The canoe makes it all the way to a lighthouse!
I love this movie.
It is one of my all-time favorite movies about try and do!
Canadian film board classic. This film played in Canadian schools back in late 60's/early 70's.

Canadians make movies? 
Seriously, I’ve never seen it, but I shall watch it.

@DocAndersen — I don’t remember that one, but I remember the Janus films and that narrator!

@FourWalls they say the first thing that goes is your memory. I don't remember what the second thing is.

@DocAndersen It was funny when the little boy tried to get his dog to fetch the toy canoe.

I managed to watch it all the way to the end, but it was a bit slow for me.
Perhaps, I might have enjoyed it more when I was a boy too.
But then again, maybe not, I have never liked movies much. I prefer to read books.
Perhaps, God is such a boy, and we are his canoes....

to me that seems an interesting thought. That we are simply canoes bound for the sea.
