The Montreal Canyon..
What can I say!? So much honestly..
A lot was learned not only about rapids and whitewater but also about myself. I was humbled a bunch and yet a fire grew inside of me to only get better. And that’s what I plan to do!
Thanks to Whitecap Kayak they truly got me right with running these rapids. Cannot thank them enough!
Oh and Josh Gundlach for the sweeet pics of Tamarack and I in front of the Saxon Falls before our descent!! Till next time!

Go check out this amazing video made by a guest that was on our tours!

We had just gotten ready for the last tour of the day and suddenly these people came to me and said “Hey!! Got any more room on your tour!?” And honestly it worked out perfectly.

These guys were great to hangout with and surely this video captures all of the beautiful moments of having an “Up North” family trip. It also showcases the beauty my homelands offer.

Thanks for a great season. Looking forward to many more!!

Such a wonderful time with Peter and his camerawoman!
There will never be another place like this and I hope you can come with me to see and enjoy it...once in a lifetime beauty and this was beautifully captured by the Northern News Now team.
I’m hoping next summer I can keep continuing to not only do tours but share the wonderful heritage this place has. Through and through!

Thank you for your continued support through the years. Even if you don’t I still thank you for tuning in 😉! See you soon!
