Mario Rigby is a modern day explorer that's not afraid to push physical and mental limits all while addressing the issues of diversity, poverty and sustainability. Mario has completed an astonishing 12,000 km trek northward across eight African countries, entirely by foot and kayak. He was tested physically and emotionally in ways that would make anyone stop short. He contracted malaria, kayaked 550 km across Lake Malawi for two months, dodged bullets with government soldiers in a war zone, was attacked by wild dogs, and was jailed for several days near a small village, to name just a few of the many challenges he faced. In 2019, he cycled unsupported across Canada, traveling 73,000 kilometres from Victoria, British Columbia to St. John’s Newfoundland and now during ,the pandemic summer of 2020, he kayaked the length of Lake Ontario. Rigby was chosen as one of the 200 nominees for the Most Influential People of African Descent global 100 list and is a Fellow-elect of the Royal Canadian Geographic Society.
