Discover the pivotal role of Rocky Mountain House in Canada’s fur trade history. Explore the National Historic Site, sleep in a tipi, and uncover Indigenous and Métis heritage in this surprising Alberta gem.

Dr. Sean Morrissy went for a walk in the woods behind his office in Minto, N.B., one afternoon, looking for a remedy. An avid mountain biker, there were plenty of trails to ride where he lived in nearby Fredericton. But for years, he lamented the lack of options in Minto. That day, he found a cure for himself and a salve for the community.

Spend a little time with Gary Anderson and you’re apt to conclude that the guy has all the attributes of a natural-born entertainer: big smile, massive moustache, big personality, booming voice, gifted storyteller—and a huge laugh. In fact, early in his adult life Anderson spent a fair bit of time on stage—playing drums and providing backing vocals while touring with aspiring Canadian rock bands Hellhound, Fable, and Task Force.

Indigenous tourism taught me some eye-opening things

Nov 21, 2024 | muskokaregion.com | Steve Lyons

Nothing has helped me see the world in a clearer way than actually getting out and seeing it. Learning about the history of a place through its people, cultural traditions and landscape is incredibly enriching, and for me the most profound example of this has been the Indigenous tourism experiences I’ve had. On a trip to Clayoquot Sound off Vancouver Island, I learned that Canada’s Indigenous Peoples have a deep, reciprocal relationship with the land that emphasizes stewardship and sustainability.

Indigenous meaning of life in British Columbia

Jul 26, 2024 | thewest.com.au | Steve Lyons

I feel a sense of awe and wonderment as I stand at the base of the Cedar Tree of Life on Meares Island in British Columbia. It’s almost unfathomable to imagine that this tree has lived in this particular spot for an estimated 1300 years. As I crane my neck in an attempt to see the top of the magnificent specimen of western red cedar, I think about all that has happened over those 13 centuries and marvel at something having lived for that length of time.

Enjoyed a couple of unique bike rides in @DestinationNB: pedalling across a sand bar to Minister’s Island, which you can only reach during low tide and touring Tiny Trails — a mountain bike park in Minto that is on land that had previously been mined for coal as far back as 1639. https://t.co/TQCslIYAK0
