Hi, my name is Ariane, I am excited to be returning to BVKC for a third year, now as the Head Instructor and Operations Director.

I am an outdoor enthusiast who started kayaking 6 years ago in Québec. Since then, I have been travelling with my kayak all over the country, to South America and the US to discover different kayak communities and types of rivers.

I started instructing through Thompson Rivers University three years ago and fell in love with the art of teaching kayaking. With my education in psychology, biology and as an adventure guide, it makes me a complete instructor to understand and help every kayaker to progress and grow within this activity.

My goal is to share my love for water and kayaking while engaging our community in a safe and trustworthy environment. Making the kayaking courses inclusive to everyone and inspiring people to connect with nature is essential for me!

I am grateful to be able to share my passion through BVKC and excited to paddle with you all!
