Some adventures leave you with more than just memories.

Adventure to Thrive is a 4-day experience on the shores of Lake Superior built around connection, community, movement, storytelling, and time spent outdoors.

From paddling crystal-clear water and hiking breathtaking landscapes to sharing campfire conversations and learning through Indigenous teachings, this experience is about slowing down, reconnecting, and creating space to grow.

This isn’t about being the strongest or most experienced outdoors person in the group. It’s about showing up as you are.

Before I paddle out, I always remind myself:

The water doesn’t care how many times you’ve done it before.

Conditions can shift fast. Cold water hits harder than expected. And small choices matter more than we think.

Wear your PFD. Check your gear. Pay attention to what’s changing around you.

Not to take away from the experience but to make sure you get to keep having it.

Safe Boating Awareness Week is just a reminder of something simple:

The best days on the water are the ones you come home from.

What’s one safety habit you never skip on the water?

I gave it my all and I’m proud of myself.

This past weekend I ran my first Hyrox race in Ottawa.
It was hard. It was humbling. It was fun!

I hit my main goals - to keep a constant running pace for the entire race, finish under 2 hours and not stop and set down the kettle bells in the farmer carry.

It was fun being there with my partner Tony (thanks for these amazing pics!), seeing and cheering on other friendly faces along with meeting new people and rooting on strangers.
We all showed up to challenge ourselves 💪🏼🔥

100 wall balls at the end was grueling. I can’t remember the last time I pushed myself that hard. My HR was redlining and I was having a hard time breathing. But you know I sprinted to the finish line when I hit 100.

When was the last time you celebrated yourself doing a hard thing?

5 Paddle Day Trips in Ontario ❤️🇨🇦

From calm, beginner-friendly paddles to more adventurous routes, these are some of my favourite Ontario spots to explore by paddle board.

📍Rockwood Conservation Area
📍Bon Echo Provincial Park
📍Barron Canyon, Algonquin Park
📍Bruce Peninsula
📍Katherine Cove, Lake Superior Provincal Park

Each one offers something completely different - shorter route, pictographs, canyon cliffs, turquoise shoreline, and rugged Lake Superior scenery.

Most of these can be beginner-friendly with the right route and calm conditions, while others offer opportunities to build confidence and explore farther.

Which one are you adding to your list first? 👀

Just finished my Wilderness First Responder course and it was about more than just the skills.

There’s something different about learning as an adult. People show up because they want to be there and it shows.

More intention, more curiosity, more effort to actually understand.

And honestly, one of the best parts was the people. Different backgrounds, different outdoor experiences, all learning from the course and each other.

Have you ever taken any kind of outdoor or safety course?
