PeakWeek
Peak Week exists to remind people that they're capable of climbing their mountain.
The mountains are the setting. Transformation is the story.
Sooner or later, every one of us encounters a mountain that can't be found on a map. Peak Week was created from the belief that movement, community, and purpose can help us face those challenges with courage, hope, and resilience.
What began as two friends sharing mountain adventures has grown into a movement. Each August, participants hike and scramble seven summits in seven days, raising funds and awareness for Impact Society's HEROES® programs, equipping young people across Canada with the confidence, resilience, and life skills they need to thrive.
Now entering its fourth season, Peak Week has raised more than $100,000 in support of youth mental health, and we're just getting started.
Share a summit. Hike with Purpose. Help a young person discover they're capable of climbing their mountain.

Ryan, Jon, GP and I on the summit of The Fortress, Kananaskis Country. August 2025. Seven peaks in seven days. We were hungry, thirsty, and running on fumes, but the moment felt bigger than our exhaustion. We made it. And yes, we celebrated with pizza and (zero) beer.
The lads and I.

GP and Bunny on the summit, soaking in the moment under the scorching sun. It was our sixth peak in six days, all laughter, sweat, and unshakable joy. At that point, we were just looking forward to the finish line, but the mountain kept insisting we slow down and breathe.

I’ve been told the location is easy to find online, but it still eludes me. If you can pinpoint it, I’d love to hear from you.
I’m collecting these markers for a series, silkscreen prints on pillowcases, perhaps.

Prairie Mountain, Alberta. 23 August 2025.
Our first summit in a week of seven. All 31 of us made it to the top. The crazy idea is catching on like Forrest Gump’s run, unbelievably unstoppable. Funny how life loves a good sequel.
I’ve had my eye on Red Peak since October 2024. Two unsuccessful attempts later, I hoped the mountain might finally open its door on the third.
Under scorching August sun, eight of us climbed, grinding through heat and endless scree, inching upward like pilgrims. And when we finally stood on the summit, Red Peak revealed itself: a fresh perspective on familiar giants, the horizon rearranged like a new language you almost understand.
It was our fourth summit of seven during Peak Week 2025. A reminder that persistence, sweat, and a little faith can turn a stubborn dream into a view that steals your breath.

PeakWeek2023 summit shots. That first year was something else. I lost a ton of weight. Turns out potato chips, gummy bears, and coffee are not sustainable fuel sources. Who knew? Man, I was such a newbie.
