We begin our tenth season of planning and organizing kayak excursions and expeditions on the sea, more precisely St-Lawrence River and the Saguenay fjord. We live in a village called Bergeronnes and therefore we have an excellent knowledge of the surronding we are to navigate. Alain Dumais is a bilologist and also a teacher in first aid and life saving rescue. First of all, We would like to help the participants develope their skills, knowledge and judgement for a safe practice of sea kayak. Firstly, the estuary between tadoussac and Les Escoumins is frequented by five species of whales, three species of seals and many species of birds.
Some archeological sites show the presence of arboriginal people.
Secondly, the other ecosystem that can be observed is the fjord of the Saguenay between the Baie Ste-Marguerite and Tadoussac. Like artists, the glaciers sculted the falaises ot the fjord over three hundred meters hign to give them various shapes and colors. The Beluga , a small white whale and the common seal, all love these waters. The Saguenay also offers a lot of small coves and many villages reminescent of the days of the colony. The participants meet their an introduction to the excursion is offred with maps and documents.
