Bill Mason Photos

ICON AT WORK -- The image of Bill Mason paddling a canoe is an indelible Canadian icon. Shown here on his beloved Meech Lake in the fall of 1986, Bill lived to paddle and tell people about the land he paddled in. Since he died, his legend and influence have continued to grow. -- photo by Michael Peake
