Combat Engineers on the Nahanni River This past summer, I was the guide for the 2CER combat engineers for their adventure training on the Nahanni River in the North West Territories. What a bunch of guys. One of my best trips down that river. Arctic wilderness photography I assisted the wilderness photographer, Andrew Weller of Wyoming to take pictures of Ellesmere Island. We took pictures of the nice scenery, muskoxen and arctic wolves. Dawa Nuru Sherpa in Ottawa Dawa Nuru Sherpa came all the way from his small village in Nepal to visit us. We went to the top of Mount Everest together. We had a very nice dinner organized in his honor and to raise funds for CHEO and CSSS. In the picture from the right is Meghan McGrath, Jean Ricard, Dawa and I. I brought Dawa to see for the first time his holiness the Dalai Lama. He was pretty excited about that. Meeting with the Prime Minister I've met Stephen at his office to chit chat about my exper iences on mountains and my involvement in the arctic as a guide. I expressed my concerns about global warming and the effects that it has on the Canadian arctic. Award from the Governor General The right honorable Michaëlle Jean has awarded me the Ambroise-Lafortune award for my implication with and my devotion to Canadian scouting. Les Trois Accord / SWING During Franco-Fièvre in Regina, I had the chance to talk to the members of the popular francophone group Les Trois Accords and SWING. They played there popular song Saskatchewan in Saskatchewan! Construction of scout's aerial park finished! It's always good to give back to the roots. When I returned from Everest, I thought that anything was possible. This is why I decided to build this aerial park for the scout camp in Low Qc. Etienne Poisson, master student in engineering, and I were able to find sponsors for 30 000$ and build this course ourselves with help of volunteers.   Explorers gathering Steven MacLean, the 2nd Canadian to walk in space, invited me to come to the Canadian Space Agency to attend a ceremony to give back the rock of the top of Everest that Bernard Voyer gave him to bring in space.
