Will Ferguson spent a three-year period criss-crossing Canada and back agai n. In a helicopter above the barrenlands of the sub-Arctic, in a canoe with his four-year-old son, aboard seaplanes and along the Underground Railroad , Will?fs travels have taken him from Cape Spear on the coast of Newfoundla nd to the sun-dappled streets of Olde Victoria.
