Marie-France Roy hasn’t always been a voice for the environment.   



Marie-France Roy hasn’t always been a voice for the environment. But when she broke her neck in a 2010 snowboarding accident, she had a lot of time to think during the recovery, and it was that time that helped her become an activist. “I realized that we get so much out of the mountain experience for our own selves and it only makes sense to be willing to take some risk in order to protect it.” Read “A Matter of Love” here: festivalwalk
