Hi! I’m Candice and some of the best moments in my life have been on shared adventures in remote wilderness areas in Canada and abroad. I have had the privilege of being part of the Black Feather team since 2011. My guiding career has taken me to many places across Ontario, Quebec, Labrador, Arctic Canada and Greenland, the latter two which I am extremely excited and passionate about. Doing both research (glaciology) and guiding (hiking and sea kayaking) in these remote northern regions has offered me stunning wildlife viewing opportunities, the ability to view climate change first hand, continued learning of those who call this area home and the enjoyment 24 hour of daylight can bring! Some of my best Black Feather moments have been spent trying to find the words to describe the sheer beauty and magnitude of these places which most often defy words. What I love most about guiding is the shared adventure of these moments, vistas, histories, geographical significance of place, stories and laughs with the people who join us. My “pay-the-bills” career is teaching environmental science, physical geography and outdoor education to high school students within the public system; my hope is that I am nurturing a love and passion within our young adults for the natural environment and Canada’s remote, rugged and wild places. My personal interests involve the outdoors and protecting our wild places. Beyond the great outdoors I enjoy reading, cooking, my golden retriever Ellie (Ellesmere), lake time, running and cycling.
