Last night, we attended the 93rd annual @rcgs_sgrc Fellows dinner in Ottawa. It was an exceptional event celebrating extraordinary Canadians, people like the Canadian Space Agency’s @astro_kutryk and new Fellow @nat.gillis of @natgillisphotography and @jeanchretienofficial - who was interviewed on stage, memorably (“Vive Le Canada!”), by @evanljsolomon We loved hearing a live performance by singer/songwriter @beatricedeerband and catching up with @thecarolpatterson @brandy_y_productions and @guy_theriault as well as other Fellows in attendance, including @mariorigby @christophercran @canadian.landscapes @lynncangeo @dapps and Canadian Chapter Chair of @the_explorers_club @jett_britnell We especially loved rallying with passionate travel ambassadors like @mapleleafadvent @adventure.canada @oceanquestnl @greatcanadiantrails and @eagleeyetours in person. Small Canadian travel businesses like yours are the reason why we love doing what we do at Toque & Canoe. Cheers to everyone at @cangeotravel @cangeoedu @cangeo and the @rcgs_sgrc - including @geiger.john - for a fabulous night and for, of course, making Canada better known to Canadians and the world. More people need to know about what you’re up to and how they can participate. This, we know for certain. ❤️🇨🇦❤️ @canwarmuseum @ottawatourism @ontariotravel @explorecanada #canada #travel #geography #adventure

This past summer, we were finally able to check out the storied @naramatainn for ourselves. We may have only stayed for lunch (the hamburger was excellent!) but we sure got to see what the fuss is about. Beautiful location in BC’s wine country. A gorgeous room on offer if you want to dine out and enjoy a night away. Food to write home about. Oh, and the friendliest staff we’ve come across in the Okanagan region. We’ll definitely return to enjoy more cuisine by the legendary @nedbell - featured in this slide show with photos courtesy @naramatainn #hosted #naramata #okanagan #britishcolumbia #canada #travel

Hey everyone! We’re taking some down time after a challenging few years. But we promise to get Toque & Canoe rolling again in October. We have lots of great stories in the works so stay tuned! Meanwhile, where better to re-boot than in Italy? Tonight, as the sun sets in Rome and a warm breeze blows, we’re grateful for the rooftop bar at @palazzonavona, where this photo was just taken. We’re drinking Italian beer and watching day turn to night, reflecting on a spectacular day. Cheers to our friends @ciaoandiamo for taking us on a rich, rollicking tour of ancient Rome. Italy, all 20 regions of this heavenly country, is their specialty. Reach out to them if you’re heading this way and looking for local knowledge. We hope this post finds you well and that you, too, are landing on your feet after what has been a trying time for so many. ❤️ #travel #italy #fall #unpaid

Cheers to @rm_books for sending us a copy of “The Kootenay Wolves: Five years following a wild wolf pack” by professional wildlife photographer @johnemarriott We’ve been road tripping through Kootenay National Park for almost three decades and have occasionally seen members of this elusive pack on our travels. SO cool to read Marriott’s intimate account of these beautiful animals and learn more about them. A well told, important and compelling book, John. Congrats! 📷: @johnemarriott #canada #wolves #photography #rockymountains

When it comes to baby wild animal photos, this Canadian photographer is your girl!Photo by @daisygilardini / Harp seals pups are among my favourite young animals to photograph, along with emperor penguin chicks and polar bear cubs.Harp seals in Quebec’s Gulf of Saint Lawrence give birth to their pups on the pack ice in February and March of each year. The pups are yellowish in colour at birth - hence the label "yellow coats". Poor ice conditions over the past few years have deeply affected seal pups’ mortality rates. Scientists have warned that while a single year of bad ice won’t affect the seal population over the long term, poor conditions over an extended period of time will have a detrimental effect on the future of the species.#seal #harpseal #whitecoat #magdalenislands #quebec #canada #conservation #climatechange #arctic ...

Not long ago, we helped edit a book about this extraordinary company. Given our experience in the field with Churchill Wild at Manitoba’s Nanuk Lodge, we can’t say enough about this extraordinary outfitter. If they’re not on your radar (and you love wildlife experiences as much as we do), they should be!
