About Us

Your hosts

Your hosts at Ciel et Bois — Letha, Danny, Ian, Karen, Ryan, Leoni, Victoria, and Alex — are the staff team from Boreal River Rescue, a training company that’s been running programs in the region since 2008.

Throughout your stay, you’ll have our support. We’ll be available to respond and help with anything that comes up.

We love meeting people and facilitating great travel and outdoor experiences.

We pride ourselves on running a professional and organized office and providing responsive customer service. We constantly strive for improvement. Our goal is to make every stay ‘the best one yet’.

Inclusivity and respect are important values to us in all of our operations and work culture.

We don’t live on site, but we’re nearby in Gatineau and Ottawa….just a phone call or message away.

Founders Letha and Danny

We — Letha and Danny — started Ciel et Bois in 2023.

We live in Ottawa, Ontario with our son, Rafa, in a neighbourhood called Old Ottawa East, around a 25 minute drive from Ciel et Bois.

These days, Letha is an elementary school teacher and Danny teaches wilderness medicine and rescue courses and is the founder of Boreal River Rescue.

We’ve both worked in travel, hospitality, and outdoor education for over 20 years. We’re excited to host you and your group!

With self check-in and the private location, we don’t get to meet many Ciel et Bois guests in-person. But we care very much that you have comfortable stay and a great experience.

We love connecting with people and hearing about your experiences and ideas — please don’t hesitate to reach out 🙂
