My plan for Summits of Canada was to discover and showcase the amazing diversity of our country and it's 13 Provinces and Territories.through hiking, canoeing and climbing to the top of out Province sand Territories. I knew that the journey would be difficult and challenging for not just myself, but for my team and especially for lots of people to join the trips and climbs. So if people around the world and through out Canada could not be on the trips, I would take the adventures to classrooms.

​

My team took on the challenges of satellites, batteries in the cold, solar panels and wind power generators, internet connections, coordinating schools and video conferences. During the trips it was a team effort from the office and managing the connection by Colin (our team genius, run the idea while we climbed) to the many team members who joined me on my quest, one step at a time, but for Ontario it was one portage at a time.

 

It was an adventure to take school topics like geography, weather, glaciers, health and nutrition from a book and classroom, to the adventure and to the the trips. So many people made it possible during the trips, the legacy and seed planted about higher learning continues.
