| Canadian Outback Adventures sprung to life in 1992 in order to provide
activities for both individuals
and groups. We've now emerged as one of the
premiere corporate team building companies and adventure tourism outfitters in North America.
Since our
inception our stable of corporate team building events and outdoor adventures has grown immensely
in order to accommodate groups of all shapes and sizes. We
are unique in that we own and operate over 98% of the adventures
and events we have available for sale. This allows us to continue
to provide extraordinary experiences and value to our customers.
Canadian Outback Adventures empowers people, through shared experiences of learning, discovery and laughter, to stretch boundaries, challenge assumptions and think differently. We believe that everyone has the ability to feel wonder, about the world around them and in the things they are able to accomplish.
This extends from those who participate in our events and adventures, our clients, suppliers and our employees, all the way to the hundreds of incredible charities we have the pleasure of supporting.

Tiff spent his younger years skiing the Ontario "Alps" and studying political science at Bishop's University to learn more about the world. This lead him to follow his passion for skiing and thirst for new challenges by traveling to Europe in 1990. He spent almost 10 years working in Great Britain with a retail winter sports outlet; in the Mediterranean as a windsurfing instructor; and in Meribel, France as the owner/operator of an ski tour company. Eventually, his desire to return home and experience more of the Canadian outdoors brought him to Canadian Outback, where he has been since 2003 and plays a key role in our corporate sales department. Skiing is still a passion but now he's discovered other pursuits BC has to offer such as golfing, hiking and boating. |

Always up for an adventure, she has recently returned from a month-long road trip to Belize where she was swarmed by killer bees in an orange grove. She has a pug, is a crafty girl and plays a mean game of Trivial Pursuit. Sarah is ecstatic that her savant-like knowledge of television is finally paying off and that she can watch TV and say she’s “working”. She still eats oranges. |
