What Is the Brent Run?
This year, we are taking the spirit of adventure and community to new heights! Andy and Connor Montgomery will return, bringing the same relentless spirit to a new challenge. Joining them are Spencer and Lauren Tamming, a brother-sister duo who embody the values of leadership and dedication we cherish at Camp Mini-Yo-We. Together, these teams will navigate the historic waters from Canoe Lake to Brent and back, each completing their own 162-kilometer journey.
The “baton pass” at Canoe Lake will symbolize our collective efforts to support a greater cause. As one team completes their journey, they will hand over their trusty canoe to their successors, marking both a physical handoff and the shared commitment to making a difference.

The Journey Is Set; The Canoe Is Ready!
Preparation for this monumental event is in full swing, with participants training rigorously to meet the demands of the wild Algonquin waters. Brent Run 2024 will take place in mid-July with the Montgomerys and Tammings pushing physical and mental boundaries for a noble cause.
New for 2024: Our Brent Run teams will use the same Swift Kevlar canoe. This dedicated canoe will be the “baton” that one Brent Run team passes to the next!
Who Is Paddling in This Year's Brent Run?
The Montgomery Family: Andy & Connor
Returning to the waters with seasoned determination, Andy and Connor Montgomery are ready to face the Brent Run once again. Last year, they navigated numerous challenges, including a memorable episode with a waterlogged canoe, but they remained undaunted. Andy, a wealth advisor and portfolio manager, combines his professional acumen with a passion for the great outdoors. His connection to Algonquin Park is deep-rooted and personal, fuelled by years of exploring its vast landscapes. Connor, now further along in his studies in civil engineering at Queen’s University, brings youthful vigour and a growing expertise in environmental and structural challenges. Together, they embody experience and endurance, driven by a shared commitment to the values of Camp Mini-Yo-We and a love for adventure in nature.
