| The
Alexander Mackenzie Voyageur Route |
The Alexander Mackenzie Voyageur Route Association (AMVRA) was formed in 1993 from the earlier Alexander Mackenzie Trail Association (1985) to expand its efforts from the designation of the Alexander Mackenzie Trail to the commemoration of the national Alexander Mackenzie Voyageur Route. Registered under the Societies Act of Alberta and as a Registered Charity with Revenue Canada, the Association
continues to further the concept of a dedicated historic route between the Old Port of Quebec and Fort Chipewyan, Alberta via the original Voyageur Route of the North West Company, and thence on the route of Alexander Mackenzie's 1792-1793 expedition to the Pacific Ocean. These routes are known as "The Alexander Mackenzie Voyageur Route ~ Canada Sea to Sea".The Alexander Mackenzie Voyageur Route Association is administered by a volunteer board of directors consisting of nine members with addresses in British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario. The Association has an international membership and produces a newsletter twice annually which highlights the activities of the Association and information related to the Route.The purposes of the Association include:
- To educate the public concerning the Alexander Mackenzie Voyageur Route;
- To encourage preservation, enhancement and interpretation of the natural, archaeological and scenic heritage of the Route;
- To encourage and conduct research about the Route.
