Here's some northern Ontario content:   And one from a while back in northern Manitoba:  Can't wait until winter's over.

toggle posted:Thanks for these.. so good. Do you guys have an issue with those lakes blowing up and getting really choppy? I've canoed on some really big lakes, keep an eye on the weather conditions, particularly behind your canoe/kayak, and generally try to stay within a kilometre of shore. If you need to cross, go directly on the shortest route. Always wear your PFD. Make sure you have accurate navigation charts at hand (and a compass) and if possible chat a little bit with someone experienced with the body of water about what conditions are likely to be experienced. If in doubt, don't go out. If you're out and things are shifting in the wrong direction, head close to shore immediately. Always have an idea of the fastest way to get off of the water, and any hazards like cliffs or bluffs that will prevent it. Also keep your eye out for islands, points, or peninsulas that may be blocking significant wind. It's often helpful paddle in the lee when you can, but things can shift very quickly when you go around a point in ways you may not expect. If a strong wind does catch you out on the water, it's better to head directly into or away from the waves rather than on an angle where the boat can roll. This is also where it's important to have your bailer at hand. The canoeist at stern can help keep the bow pointed the right direction while bailing. It's good to practice your braces too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fw-44B-FmE0
