If you ever do. Here is an easier way than canoeing. There are several working ferries on the west coast of BC , where you can take your family for a week with a couple of cabins. The crew will do beach barbeques as long as you dont mind 2AM dockings http://www.ladyrosemarine.com/ Old Boats are sometimes more interesting than trains , this one grew up on the Clyde in Glasgow.
