About the host
Hosted by Sarah Gilbert
I live in Kenora and work as a special education resource teacher. My family and I truly love spending our summers on the water—swimming, fishing, and enjoying everything lake life has to offer. Hosting gives me the chance to share that same experience with others, and I hope you’re able to relax, unwind, and enjoy the lake just as much as we do.
