Exploring the Concept

Happy Yak, although a recently launched brand, really dates back several years. It was actually in 1996 that the idea of facilitating outdoor excursions for sportspersons of all ability levels begins in the mind of Christine Chénard, President and cofounder of Happy Yak. Without realizing how far this concept would lead her many years later, it is with great enthusiasm that she accepted to develop meals that would ensure food survival for her friends Bernard Voyer and Thierry Pétry on their journey to the South Pole.

Christine

Master of nutrition with a keen sense of aromas and flavours, Christine has long shared her time between a dynamic career in consumer research and her multiple adventure travels in Greenland, Nepal and New Zealand, among others. Exploring such remote and unmarked destinations year after year has struck a balance in her very busy life and brought to light the hidden beauties of the world.

Today, her natural culinary talents, graduate studies in nutrition, professional marketing experience and – above all – profound passion for the great outdoors constitute the four naturally linked pillars of Happy Yak’s solid foundation.
