It was 3 years ago that the Montreal Ice Canoe Challenge allowed our lovely city to reconnect with this historic sport. Simon Lebrun, who founded the event, talks to us about the project and his hopes for the future.
More than just a sport, ice canoeing is part of our history, and an integral part of our relationship with the Saint Lawrence River. Discover how it evolved through time, from its beginnings to the present.
I remember back in 2013 finding out that the Montreal ice canoe race would be revived. I also remember the excitement I felt at hearing the news, perhaps because this traditional sport reflects what Bota Bota is all about.
Our champs are more than ready to take on the Saint Lawrence! Temperatures may be freezing, but there’s no way they’re going to get cold feet. Not after submitting to all those gruelling training sessions, and giving their all to win. The running, the falling, the pain, the getting up … it’s all part of what makes a winning team. And this is the team we’re supporting for the Montreal Ice Canoe Challenge.
On February 21, the Bota Bota La Relève team will get out there to win the Montreal Ice Canoe Challenge and outperform other teams in the women’s Élite Class.
