Zac Crouse, Musician and kayaker, has a mission in mind. The idea is to travel from the Ottawa to the Ocean while using a very limited amount of our precious natural resources as possible, and in the process, encouraging and promoting an active lifestyle in his friends memory! We felt that this was a worthy cause to support, and were happy to help Zac out on his voyage.
Below is Zac describing his trip, and what it means to him:
“This month, I will be gathering a group of boaters on the Ottawa River to remember a friend. Corey Morris (1979 -2009) died while kayaking on a creek in Bass River NS. He lived an active, healthy lifestyle full of kayaking & adventures.
We will honor our friend’s memory by encouraging Canadians to lead the kind of active & healthy lifestyle that Corey did. I will be paddling my kayak (with a brief 150km bicycle portage) from Ottawa to Halifax to inspire Canadians to lead active, healthy & sustainable lives that do not involve car-based transportation.
From Beachburg, ON to Halifax, NS. Through class IV white-water on the Ottawa & St Lawrence Rivers, then using a bicycle & a modified trailer to portage the sea kayak to the headwaters of the St John River. At the bottom of the St John River; I will navigate the whirlpools & hydraulics of Reversing Falls, before crossing the Bay of Fundy & riding the Shubie tidal bore & paddling up-river to Halifax”
