Meet Our Founders

  • Founder

    Growing up in the mountains of northern British Columbia instilled in me a lifelong passion for the outdoors. Now residing in Deep River, Ontario, I continue to avidly adventure in nature, by exploring forest trails, camping, and swimming in every lake or river I can.  

    Cultivating collective belonging shapes everything I do, and my dedication to community building has defined my life's path. Whether advocating for inclusion, organizing community events, volunteering locally, or inviting others into wilderness adventures, I approach each endeavour with the same enthusiasm and optimism I am known for.

  • Founder

    I am a total nerd for outdoor recreation. I spend all my free time either in nature or plotting my next adventure, You can find me exploring trails near and far, often with my doggo in tow. I am from Ottawa originally and live there now, but have been lucky enough to call Fredericton NB, Calgary AB, and Prince George BC home at various points in my life. I am a firm believer in the physical and mental health benefits of spending time outside, and I think everyone should be able to access those benefits. I am honoured to be able to do my part to support the growing disabled outdoor community in whatever ways I can. If you see me out on the trails please come say hi!
