Jackson, Franklin Carmichael, Arthur Lismer, Lawren Harris, A.J. Casson, J.E.H MacDonald, Tom Thomson and Frederick Varley, the Waddinton’s embarked on a 36 year expedition that saw them trek from one end of the country to the other.  The result is “In the Footsteps of the Group of Seven”, an ambitious book travelling along ancient canoe routes to visit the sites.
