The Voyageur?
Voyageurs were 18th- and 19th-century French Canadians who transported furs by canoe at the peak of the North American fur trade. The emblematic meaning of the term applies to places and times where that transportation was over long distances.
The voyageurs' strength and endurance was regarded as legendary and they were celebrated in folklore and music.
For reasons of promised celebrity status and wealth, the position was highly coveted.
Today, we honor Canadians of all stripes who have a desire to recapture the spirit of the Voyageur and are either living abroad or planning to engage in business in foreign lands.
