An avid outdoorsman, Tyler Lewis was killed in a ski accident last December. Since his death, his family has created a foundation in his name, promoting clean, sustainable energy – a passion of the young Queen’s University graduate.

We speak to paddlers Sean McBeath and Dion Maxwell, who are busy training for the gruelling endeavour.
