Playhouse Cinema

Explorer Adam Shoalts returns to show and tell us about his latest adventure and newest book, Where the Falcon Flies

Explorer Adam Shoalts returns to tell us about his latest adventure and newest book: an epic 3,400 kilometre solo canoe journey from Long Point, Lake Erie, to the Arctic coast of Ungava Bay.

The journey spanned three months and took Shoalts through Great Lakes storms, around hydroelectric dams and busy shipping lanes, and finally to remote northern wilderness where polar bears and caribou roam.

Shoalts will share photos and video clips from his adventure, as well as sign copies of his newest adventure book, Where the Falcon Flies.



Adam Shoalts is a professional adventurer, best-selling author, and Westaway Explorer-in-Residence at the Royal Canadian Geographical Society.

Named one of the “greatest living explorers” by CBC and even declared “Canada’s Indiana Jones” by the Toronto Star, Shoalts is a frequent guest on TV and radio. His latest adventure was a 3,400 km solo journey from Lake Erie to the Arctic, the subject of his new book Where the Falcon Flies.
