Chris Dube isn’t your average teacher. He surfs the waves of Lake Superior, teaches outdoor education in Terrace Bay, and believes deeply in the power of getting students outside and into the wild.

He talks about growing up in Northern Ontario, why community matters, and how education and adventure go hand in hand.
