"The film documents the trip taken by a party of businessmen from Manitoba and Saskatchewan from Winnipeg to Port Nelson (now York Factory). The group travelled by CN train and Hudson's Bay rail to the end of the line and then by canoe, paddled by aboriginal guides, and government launch boats to Port Nelson."
