MINNEAPOLIS — Jeremy Dickson knows well the sound of a phone not ringing.
The owner of Canoe Canada Outfitters in Atikokan, Ontario, Dickson until two years ago oversaw a business that flew 1,500 anglers into outpost cabins and outfitted as many as 3,000 paddlers into Ontario's 1.2 million-acre Quetico Provincial Park, which lies adjacent to Minnesota's similarly sized Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.
That all ended when COVID-19 arrived.
