Bernard Voyer

A man of challenges, and the first explorer from the Americas to reach the North Pole, the South Pole, and the summit of Everest, he has blazed a trail marked by remarkable achievements, including a circumnavigation of the globe by way of the Seven (highest) Summits across all seven continents. Yet it’s what he has done beyond his expeditions that commands the greatest respect: his wide-ranging commitments to youth and the environment, and his lectures, which have inspired hundreds of thousands of people to learn and leverage perseverance and teamwork, and to strive ever higher on their own personal journeys. Born and shaped in Montréal, Bernard Voyer has awakened consciences and vocations. Through his exemplary engagement and motivational testimony, he has left an enduring mark on our collective history.
