Happy Yak is a Canadian brand owned by Les Aliments Activ Inc. 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.
