A Vancouver Island Bear
I can tell you all about the beauty of Vancouver Island. From the ferry ride across the strait to the furthest western point of Tofino, the Island is a Canadian treasure. For these and other reasons, Vancouver island is a popular destination for tourists and retirees alike. So how could such a place — of all the places I have seen throughout the Rocky Mountains (there have been a few) — swiftly bring me into the clutches of a hungry bear? Maybe it was fate, but I shall herein recount the tale…

Cambridge Bay Nunavut, Canada
When we decided to accept a job posting in an isolated town in the far north, my first thoughts were of the cold and then of being alone for periods of time while my husband was at work. I was so wrong. We landed in June on a gravel runway. Dust everywhere and we had not seen trees from the air for the last hour of the flight. Just rock and moss, little pools of water trapped in the rocks and the open ocean.

Secrets Written in Her Rock
A wreck with tales to tell at Naikoon, Haida Gwaii. The islands have gone by many names. To the people who call the islands home, Haida Gwaii means “island of the people,” it is a shortened version of an earlier name, Haadala Gwaii-ai, or “taken out of concealment.”

Canmore Alberta
At the beginning of the pandemic last year in March 2020 I made the decision to leave my home town in Edmonton, AB because I am severely immune compromised. I decided to spend the next several months in Canmore Alberta and the photos attached will show just why this is my favorite place in the world to go.

My heart resides in Whistler, BC
If you've ever been or listened in awe to someone recounting their vacation there, it won't be too difficult to imagine why Whistler became my hometown in my mind and the deep recesses of my heart. This, despite it geographically sitting at least 13,000 kilometres from where I actually grew up.

The Two Sides of Vancouver's Gilded Coin.
“A gang-related shooting? In beautiful Vancouver? That part of the plot is just unbelievable.” Feedback from my American editor on a short story. And I do understand. The city was crystalline during the winter Olympics of 2010, with bluebird skies, shimmering water, frosted alpine slopes, and bright smiles from all those who attended. Vancouver stepped on the world stage with uncontroversial beauty, sexiness, and affability. A gang shooting? That's ridiculous.

Magical Mimico
An enchanting world of alluring and vibrant nature lies just a short jaunt from the city of Toronto. The name Mimico is derived from Omimeca - the Ojibwe name for this little area. It means "abundant with wild pigeons." (Sadly, the wild pigeon became extinct but the name stayed).
