Mike and Andy’s Journey in the Canada Air Rally 2024
At Chestnut Park West, we love hearing stories about adventure and exploration—and this one’s a must-share! This year, Mike Polzl, President and Broker of Record at Cushman & Wakefield Waterloo Region Ltd., Brokerage, teamed up with his brother Andy to take on the Canada Air Rally 2024. Their journey was packed with breathtaking views, unique challenges, and plenty of moments they’ll never forget.
A Unique Way to See Canada
For Mike and Andy, the rally wasn’t just about flying—it was about seeing Canada in a way most people never get to. From soaring over the northern shore of Lake Superior to spotting polar bears along the Arctic coast, every leg of their journey offered something new and incredible.
“The rally was the perfect mix of adventure and teamwork,” Mike said. “Andy and I don’t get to spend much time together, so sharing this experience was something really special.”
Unforgettable Highlights
Here are just a few of the amazing moments Mike and Andy shared:
- Views Like No Other: Flying over places like Great Slave Lake and the subarctic wilderness, they got a front-row seat to Canada’s stunning natural beauty.
- Wildlife Encounters: From wood bison on remote islands to hundreds of beluga whales and even polar bears, they saw it all from the sky.
- Overcoming Challenges: Smoke from forest fires, tricky winds, and remote fueling stops tested their skills and planning, but they handled every challenge as a team.
More Than Just Flying
The rally wasn’t just about the views or the flying—it was about the people and the moments along the way. Whether it was fishing for massive lake trout at Plummer’s Lodge, checking out Yellowknife’s floating houses, or standing under the Northern Lights in Churchill, every part of the journey had something special to offer.
One memorable highlight? Watching a fellow participant propose to his partner under the dancing aurora. “It was such a perfect moment,” Mike said. “You could just feel the joy all around.”
