"Outward Bound Canada...40 Years Of Inspiration..."

What an exciting point on the trail this is! Outward Bound Canada is celebrating a so well deserved 40th anniversary. This May is a time for affirming their history, for moments to put our packs or paddles, maps and compasses, down for a moment to rest and reflect on their wondrous story...

40 Years of service, of striving, of not yielding...

40 years of seasons out there developing so many young minds, and moving as many older hearts too...

40 years of facilitating the discovery of there being more within all of us than we ever first knew...

40 years of holding so true to a Mission of "Igniting the human spirit, Inviting self-discovery, and Inspiring human potential", all through wild place journeys. Don't you just love a 'Mission' that hikes and treks, paddles and climbs, and makes itself become real in such ways...

There is so much that I, family and friends, hold so dear about our Outward Bound experiences.

(You only need to use the search section at the top left of this blog, for my postings here on many reflections of these so special moments) There has not been a season passing these many years, where we have not remembered, laughed, pondered, and mused about the many directions our OB experiences set us upon over the course of each of our lives...

This is a celebration too about renewal... Renewing our memories, renewing our energy and outdoor interests, just as Outward Bound Canada is renewing their commitments as they set out on a course for another forty years of wild place adventures and cherished connections to be discovered by each wanderer out there...

A very happy 40th anniversary to our Outward Bound Canada!
