Leif Helmer:  

Leif Helmer, author of the guidebook, was born in Kingston, raised in the country near Merrickville, and schooled at Queen's University. On the team at St. Lawrence Islands National Park for several years, Leif Helmer is a life-long resident and member of the greater 1000 Islands community. An ardent paddler, and committed environmentalist, Leif enjoys splitting his leisure time between lacing up his hiking boots and squeezing into the cockpit of his sea kayak. He is presently living on Nova Scotia's beautiful and wild south shore, where paddling and hiking routes abound, but a little bit of the St. Lawrence river still runs in his veins!
