We will also be showing a short film created by Parks Canada and featuring Rene called ‘A Lifetime on the Land: Transportation on the Chilkoot Trail‘. Don’t miss this incredible opportunity!\n\nRene Rivard was born in the Gaspe Peninsula\, Quebec\, and moved to Hinton\, Alberta\, in 1981\, where he learned the art of pack saddle crafting from a Metis elder named Felix Plane. Rene moved to the Yukon in 1988 and spent his career with Parks Canada as a park warden and wildlife technician on the Chilkoot Trail. He has done original research on gold rush-era pack saddle replicas\, as well as on the history of stampeders and use of pack horses on the Chilkoot Trail. Recently retired\, Rene now devotes his time to pack saddle making\, public education and wildlife research – he is excited to share his personal experience and research about cultural resources.\n\n–\nPhoto credit: Travel Yukon – Randonnées yukonnaises : le sentier du ruisseau Sheep screenshot
