Storm Gathering / Whitesquall

Below are some photos I took while at the Georgian Bay Storm Gathering this past weekend.  I went South with my coworker and a couple of KRPF Cadets.  I had to recert/upgrade my PC Sea Kayak Instructor status and we figured it would be nice to bring a couple of Cadets along for the trip so that they could get some exposure to the paddling community.  The programming began at Whitesquall Paddling Centre in Nobel, then we moved to Snug Haven after a couple of days and joined the Storm Gathering.  A great time was had by all and I think the Cadets felt welcomed by everyone.  All in all it was a really positive experience.  Tim & Kathy Dyer, Greg Mason & Mark Scriver all deserve thanks for keeping us busy and cozy!

Here are a couple of photos.....

The above photos were taken in late June 2012 while on a backpacking trip in Kuururjuaq Park, Nunavik.  As a employee with the Kativik Regional Police Force Cadet Program I get to visit some pretty cool places with the Cadets. Two Cadets were successful in summiting Mt. D'Iberville with the help of a couple of Mountain guides from Attitude Montagne.
