My First Sunset on Race Rocks!

I have been counting down the days to this moment and I couldn’t be more excited and honoured!

I was fortunate enough to arrive at Race Rocks a day early and spend an afternoon and night learning from Cedric! What a huge benefit! We walked through the routine and technical operations with the Generator and Desalinater. Happy to answer my many questions and repeat the processes. He was super knowledgeable on history, ecology and one heck of a handy man!

The following morning (which is today) we walked through everything once more before Greg arrived with a tank full of Diesel for the generator and we all teamed up on a few tasks. Around 1600hr I had my final wave and am now alone… well… that is to say, without another human. I’m not sure I’ve actually lived within such a large population in many years now.

Let me introduce myself. I’m Jillian Brown, the new Eco-Guardian! For the past 2 years I have been CEO and Lead Guide for a Not-Profit camp that takes First Responders, Veterans, and at risk youth affected by PTSD out into the wild, and share tools to move that trapped energy in a safe and natural environment. Sharing how to find comfort within the uncomfortable. Accompanied by this, I am an adventure/expedition photographer, writer, public speaker and mental health/ptsd educator and advocate. I have had the pleasure to explore many corners of North America through paddling, hiking and pushing limits. Achieving both a world first (paddling a tandem sea kayak down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon) and a Canadian First (Paddling a new route across America). Connecting to nature, people, cultures, myself and so much more along the way! This has opened up amazing opportunities for speaking, from Cadet and military members, to high schools, CBC Documentaries, Conventions, and universities! @jillianabrownphotography
