A personal post today. We lost our pup a few months ago after 13 years. If you’re a dog lover, you understand what a loss this can be. Thumper’s place in our family’s life story won’t be forgotten, in part thanks to 🇨🇦 artist @richardahnert who captured him here, wrapped in his favourite blanket in a canoe on the Bow River in the Canadian Rockies. Many thanks, Richard. We received your oil painting yesterday and we couldn’t be more thrilled. As for you Thump, until we meet again old boy. ❤️

As we wrap up 2020, we want to wish you and yours a safe, peaceful and prosperous 2021. If there’s one thing this year has taught us, it’s to never underestimate travel in our own backyard. As someone posted recently, 2020 wasn’t the year to get what we wanted - it was, in spite of its hardships, the year to appreciate what we already have. Photo by T&C taken yesterday in the always fabulous Canadian Rockies. #canada #travel #nordicskiing #ski #2020

#ad Bev Rodin enjoys exploring komorebi in her #art. The Japanese word means “light filtering through trees.” This painting, called Brave New Growth, is part of Rodin’s Forest Light Series.

#ad Today is #internationalmigrantsday so we’re shining a light on Sam Schultz who arrived in Canada via @pier21_quai21 almost 70 years ago. We distinctly recall Sam lighting up like a Christmas tree when he talked to us about appreciating a good meal. He had suffered extreme food insecurity before his arrival in 1951.
We checked in with Sam's daughter, Betty, and she had these thoughts for us about her father’s continued enjoyment of food.
“The memory of Dad’s first encounter inside a store is still profound,” she told us. "The feeling of wonder to find shelves stocked with a wide array of goods available to him, provided a sense of deep appreciation that continues to this day, and the belief that anything was (and is) possible. He also recalls the kindness of the clerk assisting him, and his astonishment to purchase several items, and receive change from $1! The seeds of loyalty to his adopted country were planted that day, and they have resulted not only in a strong, resilient tree, but a virtual forest of gratitude and pride." For more on Sam’s story check out our earlier post “Hey Canada, where are you from?” under Nova Scotia at www.toqueandcanoe.com #museumsofcanada #instamuseum #historylesson #immigrationmatters #pier21 #quai21 #immigrationcanada #canadianmuseumofimmigrationatpier21 #canada #travel

Things you can rely on in the Canadian Rockies during December: The whistle of trains trucking through the mountains, the rhythmic scraping of skis on track set trails and the occasional, ecstatic “woo hoo!” erupting from happy skiers as they fly through frozen forests heavy with snow.

When you’re ready to go, but you’re not exactly sure how to get in your vehicle. Yep, this happened to us last week in the 🇨🇦 backcountry and he was magnificent. He was also determined to lick the salt off our car from top to bottom, but we made a little noise to send him gently on his way. 📷: @graydio1 @ford @fordcanada #canada #moose #backcountry #carwash

Wondering where to buy original gifts that make a difference this holiday season? In our latest #sponsored story with @indigenoustourismbc we bring you five businesses featuring the work of extraordinary people. We loved producing this post and getting to know the entrepreneurs and artists behind the scenes. Now, if you’ll forgive us, we have some online shopping to do!
