Looking for three Canadians

[DanfromSydney]

Hi pilgrims. I recently finished my Camino in Santiago de Compostela. I met and lost three Canadian pilgrims and I'd very much like to find them. Their names were Miles, Kevin and Doug. Does anyone know them?

Did you ask them what part of Canada? The Canadians have some very strong Camino groups in some of their cities.

Good point Keith - they were from Winnipeg.

Do you have any photo of them or info where they were on specific dates?

I am not sure if they are your three Canadians but I found three back in 2013, if you can't find yours you can have mine....I will see them after all these years in Nov. when we walk the Camino again.

I found 2 in 2013 and we are going to walk again in April. I wonder if my 2 is 2/3 of your 3. .

If you google it you may find a club, I get invites from a group in Victoria what is interesting is they keep track of who is leaving & the folks who have walked maybe if you find a group in Winnipeg they are as organized.

Here is the link to the Canadian Camino Chapters, perhaps drop the Winnipeg contact person an email? http://santiago.ca/chapters/ Good luck and Buen Camino, SY

Great to see you on the Forum, Dan! Welcome! A friend of ours here in Sydney hails from Winnipeg - her large family are well-known in the area - they've been there for many generations - so I'll get in touch with her and see if she can help find your Canadian mates.
BTW - some trivia - Winnipeg has the distinction of being home to the coldest and windiest intersection in North America - Portage Avenue and Main Street. If you arrange a reunion with your mates at some stage, don't arrange to meet there!
I hope that you arrived home safe and well -
Cheers -
Jenny

Check http://www.americanpilgrims.org/. They have a list of all of their affiliated groups.

Hello Dan,

I am from Winnipeg and belong to the Winnipeg Camino chapter. I think I might of know those 3 pilgrims, let me find out from the local chapter. Please private message me.

Buen Camino,

Dennis

Can I be the missing one of three ? ;-)

Hmm, are you a Brit trying to pass as a Canadian?

 

[ChloeRose]

Might be you've already tried this, but it's shocking how often this actually works. In Facebook, put in their first name and 'Winnipeg'. You'd be surprised, you might have friends in common already from the Camino and it'll find their profile no problem

 

[DanfromSydney]

thanks Chloe much appreciated

It is home to worlds largest mozzies. Winnipeg also known as Winterpeg, where you experience ten months of winter and two months where the mozzies will carry you away !

Hi Dan,
So happy you were able to track us down! My email address is dproch @mymts.net. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hats off to Wendy Loly too. She is President of the Canadian Company of Pilgrims.

Behind the scene I had sent Wendy an email asking if she might be able to assist. She searched through her entire database of names looking for three pilgrims from Winnipeg that walked in June/July and located Kevin too.

Congrats to all involved. Nice to see everybody reunited.
