Sol

A hot air balloon pilot with two years of experience, he made his first visit to Saint-Jean in 1997 and has been a volunteer since 2016. He has had the opportunity to fly in Canada, the United States, Austria, and Slovenia.

He has received three awards for his contributions to competition and support for ballooning events. He has also served three times as Deputy Director of the Canadian Championship in Saint-Jean.

A fun fact: he has only flown in Saint-Jean twice.

His passion for hot air ballooning began during his childhood through annual visits to the Gatineau Hot Air Balloon Festival.
