This work is carried entirely by volunteers. While this resource is built on the knowledge and generosity of countless people, these are some of the people responsible for it.
Founder, Guide Maps
Charles Leduc
Passionate about the outdoors and endurance sports (cross-country skiing, rowing, open-water swimming, triathlons). What began in 1997 as "my" project for sharing information informally and among friends has, over time, become OUR collective project! I am constantly impressed by the work that has been accomplished, something I never could have done without others, all of you, all of us!
Tech
Philippe Dionne
Father, outdoor enthusiast, and technologist. Canoeing runs deep in my lineage, and this project is one way I can help carry that knowledge forward by building tools that make rivers easier to understand, share, and navigate.
Flow Guru
Nicolas Boisclair
Nicolas has been exploring the natural world since adolescence, a deeply rooted relationship that still guides his life choices today. Co-director of the documentaries Chercher le courant and Après la Romaine, he also runs an adventure tourism company specializing in canoe-camping expeditions (XPXP). Wanting his canoes to last, and because he prefers paddling when there is enough water, he began interpreting river flows. Today, he contributes in his own modest way to help the community better plan its outings.
