Our team
Our passion: active travel
Adventure travel is the difference between gazing at an extraordinary natural panorama from a lookout or from the inside of your car and venturing out, breathing, touching, hiking, and engaging in that landscape. The Windigo team lives for these connections with nature.
The ideal balance of passion, intuition and high-level skills helps us create truly remarkable experiences that give an all-encompassing sense of travel and discovery off the beaten track.

A worthy heir to a lineage of explorers, Charles is an inspiring leader who shares his love of adventure. Whether it’s a ski crossing, a canoe trip, or a backcountry trek in the Canadian Rockies, he always finds a way to enhance an expedition.

Josiane
General and Production Director
Curious, adventurous, and empathetic, Josiane has this incredible ability to leave nothing but smiles in her wake. When she’s not busy making those around her happy, you’ll find Josiane on her bike, tied to a wall, or you won’t find her: she’ll be out sailing.
Julie
Director of Operations
She recruits, leads, supports, and reprimands with the same contagious enthusiasm. Her laughing eyes often speak volumes more than the many neologisms she likes to invent.

A first-generation guide, he is a true believer in the adage that there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad equipment.

Passionate about human interaction and cultural immersion, I enjoy wild camping outside of the office.
