The Pursuits Film Festival is back on Friday, April 8 with an evening of adventure films celebrating the outdoors in Ontario and beyond. The guest speakers are paddle guide/adventurer/ photographer Scott Parent and his daughter Acadia who will present on their stand-up paddleboarding mission on the Great Lakes and the resulting film Three Waters.

For 2022, the festival will again feature a silent auction, door prizes, good company, food, drink and cheer—with all proceeds going to support Georgian Bay Community School’s Pursuits Program, promoting outdoor leadership and experiential learning. The evening’s hosts are Pursuits alumni Josh and Cam Fletcher.

We Are Still Here (Dir. Jacob Corston, Ruth Duncan, Aubrey Urbshott, 2 mins, 2021)
This film highlights efforts by Indigenous youth to embrace their traditional cultural practices and Indigenous identity in order to combat the destructiveness of colonial policies and ongoing forms of discrimination.

A Quality of Imagination (Dir. Caleb Roberts, 5 mins, 2022)
In a culture seemingly full of adrenaline junkies and “going bigger”, Ontario-born pro kayaker Benny Marr contemplates the ultimate form of self-expression, and the subtle moments that define one’s style.

SHIFT (Dir. Kelly Milner, 28 mins, 2017)
SHIFT is a documentary about a group of Indigenous youth who spent 10 years converting traditional trails around their hometown of Carcross, Yukon into a world-class mountain biking destination—and transform their community and themselves along the way.

Three Waters (Dir. Scott Parent, 75 mins, 2022)
A mission into the heart of Lake Huron, Scott Parent’s documentary traces an almost 500-km unsupported SUP journey from Drummond Island in the U.S. to Penetanguishene—following the migration of Scott’s Metis ancestors in 1828. Joining him on the tandem SUP is his nine-year-old daughter Acadia. The paddlers take deep-water samples along the route to be analyzed for microplastics research. On the many remote and hazardous stretches of shoreline and open water, they discover things even deeper about themselves and our relationship to the fragile and changing Great Lakes environment.

There are some first times that we will always remember. Like the time I skied off-piste through the alpine highlands of le parc national de la Gaspésie.
@shimizuimg getting those January goods ❄️ #mountainlifer
With four decades of ice canoeing under his belt, Jean Anderson has dominated a sport that's unique to Quebec and that he helped shape.
Featuring three gravel and three MTB events, the series explores the intense competition and love of the sport among 60 of the world’s premier cyclists.
Winter commute with #mountainlifer @michelle_pittam ❄️🚵‍♀️🌲
@lhymnedestrembles.ca is no mirage. Set in the lush Laurentian forest, yet easily accessible (less than an hour and a half from Montreal), this luxurious ski-in ski-out residential resort by @groupebrivia is nestled at the foot of the Versant Soleil side of Mont Tremblant. The Tremblant region is a perennial destination for outdoor enthusiasts from around the world, and within the province, attracting 3.5 million visitors annually.
ML staff and gear partners highlight the latest jackets, boards, crampons, hoodies, insoles and bindings in alpha order. #Linkinbio to learn more!
Adventures like this one require an inspiring team. @timemmett is a longtime friend, adventure partner and extraordinary human; an explorer, pro climber, surfer, freediver—you name it. @luca.freediver is an incredibly talented freediver, fresh off breaking the Canadian national freediving record (85 metres). The fourth man on the team, @brianhockenstein, is a filmmaker and multi-talented snowboarder always ready to jump into the fray and capture the magic. - words Jimmy Martinello. #Linkinbio to learn more!
We came in search of the connection of the human spirit to both art and adventure, whether climbing from the depths of moulins and ice caves, breaking through ice while paddleboarding fjords, climbing icebergs, freediving between tectonic plates or surfing cold waves.
A thousand and one things could have gone wrong, but she made it to the top:  @mariepier.desharnais is the first Quebecois woman to climb K2.
