Local long-time volunteer, Heather Demers, is a known face around many of Timmins main community events, including the Great Canadian Kayak Challenge and Festival.

 

Today, Festivals & Events Ontario along with City of Timmins Tourism Manager, Guy Lamarche, recognized Heather for her “outstanding contribution to the Great Canadian Kayak Challenge and volunteer commitment.”

 

Plans for this year’s festival are well underway with Heather front and center helping to mobilize volunteers and ensure the 9th Annual Great Canadian Kayak Challenge and Festival is another HUGE success.   This year’s event is August 25th – 27th.
