Come join us! Bring your own canoes or kayaks and let’s go explore Lake Seale. We are offering an exclusive outing with Mathieu Madison, a biologist who is very familiar with the terrain and has been supporting RJANP right from the start.
Mathieu Madison is a biologist and owns an organic farm in the Laurentians. He has a master’s degree in environmental management from the Université de Sherbrooke, and has been involved with our partner, Abrinord, since 2012.
When? Sunday, May 19, 2024, from 9 a.m. to 12 noon (in case of heavy rain, Monday, May 20, same time).
Who? Doners! To participate in this event, we suggest a minimum donation of $100 per person (tax receipts will be issued). A maximum of 12 canoes/kayacs can take part.
Where? We will send you that information when you register.
How? Contact Mathieu Régnier at 438-340-1768 or Martin Gauthier at info@ruisseaujackson.org before May 17, 2024.
Please note: 1) Water levels are low this year, so your kayak or canoe will probably touch bottom quite often. 2) All kayaks and canoes will have to be washed beforehand. 3) RJANP is not liable in any way in case of damages or injury.
We invite you to take part in an unforgettable experience in the heart of the Ruisseau Jackson watershed as we paddle towards what used to be Lake Seale and is now a vast wetland.*
This special initiative will fund our activities for 2024, and we thought that there was no better way to do so than to offer a unique opportunity to discover this terrain.
We will be paddling through an area that is out of bounds for most visitors (no public access). The region, which is rich in biodiversity and offers breathtaking views, is usually difficult to access, but thanks to your support, we can discover it together. This vast wetland is right at the centre of our watershed and a must-see for all RJANP enthusiasts!
This excursion will give you a chance to immerse yourself in the raw beauty of nature while helping fund our efforts to preserve it. All participating donors will receive special recognition for their commitment, along with a unique souvenir.
Whether you are a lover of outdoor activities or a curious novice, this outing is open to everyone who shares our passion for the preservation of our environment.
Contact us now to reserve your spot for this unique experience.
* Lake Seale, which has become a large marsh, is the spot where two main tributaries of Ruisseau Jackson meet. Lac des Chats is the headwater of the southeast tributary. The second comes from the south and local wetlands.
