We LOVE this wolf painting by @maynard_johnny_jr_artist - shared with us courtesy the artist himself and Vancouver’s @skwachayslodge (which has an in-house gallery & shop). Stay tuned for our upcoming post with @indigenoustourismbc on how to shop Indigenous this holiday season. Businesses are adjusting to the times and offering secure online shopping experiences for customers, local and otherwise. We’re excited. @totemdesignhouse.ca @slccwhistler @giftngabtradingpost @ihosgallery @indigenoustourismbc @destinationindigenous #canada #travel #art #indigenous

And in other important world news... our friend @ocanadaartstudio - during his most recent bid, barter and trade initiative - swapped his Sasquatch canoe painting for “litres and litres” of maple syrup. The title of this piece? “O-Canada, it wasn’t that no one took him for a canoe ride, it was that no one EVER took a good photograph of him! That’s what hurt most.” #canada #art #sasquatch #canoe #painting #maplesyrup #news

When a longtime friend (packing a miniature camping stove and a tiny cast iron pan) invites you for a sunrise breakfast on the beach, you say yes, right? #canada #travel #fall #beach #breakfast #littlethings

We can’t wait to hear Astronaut Robert Thirsk speak virtually today at the tenth annual Jasper Dark Sky Fest. “When we look up at the immensity of the night sky, we come closer to who we are as human beings,” Thirsk told us this week. “That sense of wonder we feel is part of our DNA.” For tickets, check out the bio link @tourismjasper Photos courtesy Robert Thirsk and @tourismjasper #canada #space #stars #darksky #darkskypreserve #jasperdarksky #jasperdarkskyfestival

Over the past years, we sent these two poets - Lorna Crozier and Patrick Lane - across the country where they chased assignments everywhere from The Great Bear Rainforest with @spiritbearbc to Grasslands National Park with @tourismsask to @fogoislandinn with @newfoundlandlabrador Unleashing literary giants on Canada’s travel landscape gave back in spades. Lorna’s experience with @spiritbearbc manifested in a bestselling book of conservation poetry called The Wild in You, published by @greystonebooks with incredible photos by @iantmcallister Her story on Grasslands NP, with charming @theoriginal10cent photos, was nominated for a major travel writing award and her story on @fogoislandinn is arguably one of the most wonderful pieces to date written on this extraordinary East Coast hotel. Patrick, it must be mentioned, fed us fabulous tweets from Newfoundland & Labrador (because who better than a poet understands economy of language?) and was even inspired to write a poem or two from the experience himself. Sadly, Patrick died last year and an entire country of writers has been missing him terribly. Since losing her husband, Lorna has penned a non fiction book, which we just finished, telling the story of their union. It’s called “Through the Garden - A love story (with cats)” published by @mcclellandstewart It’s an honest, distinctly Canadian love story that we can’t recommend enough. As an aside, we’re pleased to say that we have another Lorna Crozier story in production here in our pint-sized office at T&C, so stay tuned. 📷: Bob Siemens #canada #poet #poetry #lornacrozier #patricklane #travel

Lucky for us, our friend Joe Urie of @jaspertourcompany is letting us share his latest capture. “This one came towards me and looked at me in the eye and said ‘it ain’t you, buddy. I’m here for the salt.’” Moose or “Môshwa” are awkward looking when they stand still, he says, but when they move, they’re surprisingly “ballerina” elegant. We love Joe’s wildlife-rich feed. Worth a follow, for sure! @indigenous.tourism.alberta @destinationindigenous @tourismjasper @travelalberta @explorecanada #canada #moose #travel #nature #wild #wilderness

Not long ago, we explored @thegreattrail in our backyard with photographer @theoriginal10cent In our latest post at Toque & Canoe, we list five reasons why you, too, especially during these times, stand to benefit from stepping out on this national treasure. Most Canadians, fyi, live 30 minutes from the 27,000 km long network of multi-use trails that links our nation from coast to coast to coast.
