Our First full day in all those stairs leading up to church we got an early start and headed towards Edmundston. It is nice to be back on the four lane highway as there is ample room for the motorhome and me to walk, short of it being louder, it is great. Edmundston was a […]

Kallyn is now walking up to 13 kilometres a day with his family, including his Dad Jimmy, Mom Kristie, Grandma Rita and siblings Dylan and Kayden. Just 8 years old, Kallyn is […]

Last Leg of Trek Through Ontario
After the incredible reception in Timmins we made our way East again for a few days before we turn South East for a few weeks. The day after walking through Timmins we walked through some forest fire smoke, which looking back we probably should have drove through as it was rather thick. We were wondering […]
A Long Haul from Nipigon to Timmins
Highway 11 posed some interesting challenges to say the least. As it was not the Trans Canada, it was a little narrower than Highway 17, not a big deal we can manage that. Turns out it is the major trucking route from Nipigon to North Bay (found that out in Kenora thanks to Uncle David) […]
How to Bullet Proof Your Mind Set and Daily Routine

Rita’s Journey: An Eye-Opening Start to Retirement
The Can-Survive Walk has been an “eye-opening start to retirement” for Rita Lefebvre, who joined her son Jimmy this past May with three of her grandchildren and her daughter-in-law on their Cross-Canada Road trip to end Cancer.

Can an Eight-Year-Old Make a Difference?

With his Mom, Dad, Grandma (Meme), Brother and Sister, he’s been walking a little bit every day on a journey to raise funds for programs and initiatives that help those affected by […]
Our Adventure through Kenora to Nipigon
Our first stop in Ontario was Kenora and the Lake of the Woods area. All that I can say is WOW! If you like the outdoors and water and have not at the very least seen it, you owe it to yourself to make the trip. The water seems endless and the view is spectacular […]
