​A resident of Thunder Bay since 1992, Lise Vaugeois has spent many years exploring the North Shore of Lake Superior by kayak.

 

She is a Paddle Canada Level I instructor and approaches teaching with patience and humour - always with an eye on individual challenges and safety.

 

A paddler who started out terrified of the water, she has many ideas for helping people build their skills while getting over their anxieties about being on (or in) the water.

 

During the year she teaches music and multiculturalism at the Faculty of Education, Lakehead University.
