After 12 years in the Canadian Armed Forces, Cornel made a career switch into the outdoors and found himself in the Canadian Outdoor Leadership Training Program (COLT) at Strathcona Park Lodge on Vancouver Island. It was here where he discovered his passion for everything paddling...
My introduction to paddling started at the age of 7 when my parents dropped me off at Camp Hurontario in Georgian Bay. This was several days before the other campers arrived. The councillors needed to find ways to keep me busy so they taught me how to paddle and stern a canoe.
My paddling story began in my youth, with scouts and family camping trips sparking an early connection to the water. Those formative experiences created the foundations for a meaningful interest in paddling, although the rigors of life pulled me away for a while.
