Make a Difference

Quetico is special. Wilderness is all around us.

No matter where you are or where you’re from, Quetico holds a special place in our hearts.

This Spring, learn how you can support and raise awareness in creative ways and inspire others to do so as well. If you visited Quetico or it’s on your list of places to visit, we invite you to participate in the first annual #QueticoPortageChallenge in support of ongoing stewardship.

Support Quetico Foundation and its mission to the protection of wilderness, with a particular focus on Quetico Wilderness Provincial Park.
