[ CONTRIBUTORS ] Ben Duchesney


Ben is the web editor of Canoeroots’ sister publication, Kayak Angler. After being brought to tears (of laughter) by Nick Offerman on the TV show Parks and Recreation, Ben tracked down the Hollywood star and boat builder to find out just how important facial hair is to being a good canoeist (page 43).


Beth Kennedy


Equally talented on a Mac and on the river, Beth is a decorated whitewater canoeist. After nine years


designing Canoeroots’ pages, this is her last issue. She’ll


be branching out to embrace the freelance lifestyle.


Becky Mason


Teaching classic solo and tandem canoeing courses for 27 years, Becky has toured the U.K., Europe and North America to pass along her traditional paddling skills. An artist and passionate environmentalist, she’s made two award-winning instructional solo canoeing videos. Becky shares the most important stroke you’re not doing on page 30.


Roy MacGregor Roy is a multiple-award-


winning journalist and author of more than 40 books. On page 19 he deepens the mystery surrounding the death of legendary painter


and canoeist Tom Thomson. Roy is an officer in the Order of Canada and a columnist with The Globe and Mail.


Dave Quinn


Wildlife biologist, wilderness guide and award-winning journalist, Dave reports on the trend of young families pursuing big adventure on page 38. When not writing about cool trips, he’s planning his next family adventure.
