Blogger Cory Lee on press tour in Quebec

Back to the press releases list

To promote accessible tourism in Quebec, Kéroul recently welcomed Cory Lee, the blogger behind Curb Free with Cory Lee. The 27-year-old American with spinal muscular atrophy is rolling around the world with his motorized wheelchair, resourcefulness and a sense of humour. His passage through La belle province was a huge success. The warm welcome he received from Quebecers had a very positive impact on his brief, colourful stay! Cory testifies : « Thank you for organizing such an incredible trip. (…) I'm so happy that we were able to see your part of the world. It's a stunning area and definitely has a lot to offer. »

In the course of five days, Cory Lee had the opportunity to make quick stops in the Laurentians, Québec City, Wendake and Montréal. It was a whirlwind visit that combined a perfect balance of nature, urbanity, traditions and innovation.
