My work brought me and my wife to the Pontiac County in 2001. Allow
me to introduce myself, my name is Sylvain Drapeau. I am a wood
scaler as well as a wildlife and wood product transformation
technician. My wife, Caroline Desrosiers is an elementary school
teacher. We have purchased 200 acres of land in
the Municipality of Otter Lake.
Our love for dog sledding has convinced us to reside in the country
so that we can enjoy our
cold, harsh winters. This passion for dog
sledding was passed on to me by my uncle François Bruneau, who has
practiced this sport for more than 15 years.
Our kennel now has 22 dogs, which are descendants from my uncle’s dog Mouki. We
began our entreprise Escapade Eskimo in the spring of 2004. This name was
chosen in honour of François’s lead dog Kimo.
We are members of Outaouais Tourism, of the Association des mushers du Québec,
of the Pontiac Tourism Association and the Ottawa Valley Tourism.
