L'AVANT
L'avant is a position held usually by a senior member of the crew. It is the equivalent to a
vice-president's position. The responsibilities of l'avant are simple, help maintain order in the
executive meetings and in the absence of Le Gouvernail, chair the meeting. Traditionally, L'avant
was an Hivernot who was second in command of the canoe. He road in the front of the boat standing
watch for upcoming rapids or obsticles in the rivers the Voyageurs travelled. You would hear him
yelling, "Droit, Gauche, Droit", from sun up till nearly dusk, travelling up to 70 Km's in a day.
Currently this possition is open however it has been help by Dale Jones Jr. for the past 3 years.
To date our regulations state that to hold the position of l'avant you must be a youth that is invest
into the group. As the crew grows these regulations may change.
