The Churchill River in Nothern Saskatchewan and Monitoba is more a collection of lakes connected by rapids and water falls. That made it a superb highway for the trade in beaver pelts in past centuries. Today it is left to wildlife and recreation boaters who can enjoy a relaxing paddle in a canoe as well as the excitement of whitewater. The river is dotted with a multitude of islands which Canada has been naming in tribute to fallen servicemen.
