portage. The overland carry between two waterways. You put the boat on your shoulders so the journey can continue.
A portage is the stretch where the water runs out and you carry the canoe yourself, so that two separate waterways become one route. It is the oldest North American answer to a gap, it is a French word that both countries kept, and it only works because somebody already knows the path.
Every club has an idea like this one, and it belongs to the place rather than to us. It is not a slogan we handed out.
Marc Palud hosts the Canadian side of the Bridge from Winnipeg. He is the founder of SpeedNetworkingLive.com, host of The Better Human Podcast, and co-founder of Concourse Benefits. He has spent years building rooms where people actually meet each other rather than collect business cards, and the Bridge applies that same method across a border most networks simply stop at.
Marc Palud is a real person in Winnipeg, not a logo. That is the point. Somebody has to know both people for an introduction to be worth anything.
