Life isn’t a long quiet river, and maybe it’s just as well! You have to battle the current to learn how to control your canoe. You need to go over rapids to learn how to stay calm when things get turned upside down. You must face the changing tides to learn how to deal with the unrelenting rhythm of Mother Nature. You need to kayak against the riptide.

In the summer/fall issue of Vie en montagne, inspiring men and women show us their own unique ways of navigating the waves of adventure. Across Canada, a land of streams, lakes, rivers and creeks, modern-day explorers are re-connecting with nature by kayaking, canoeing, freediving and swimming to ensure this damned virus never dulls their sense of adventure. – Frédérique Sauvée, Editor, Vie en montagne
