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. ❤️🇨🇦❤️

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

We caught up with the incomparable storyteller @diannewhelanphotos of @500daysinthewild this week. The filmmaker is busy crafting an ambitious documentary featuring her historic @transcanadatrail adventure. Good luck to you, Dee. We know it’s going to be spectacular. 🍁 Photo courtesy Dianne Whelan @telefilm_canada @elevation_pics #canada #documentary #film

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. ❤️

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!

When it comes to global travel, where’s your happy place? In our latest post (link in bio) and like so many Western Canadians, a travel writer confesses that she longs for Maui. Naturally, it’s all her parents’ fault. #visitmaui #malamahawaii

Unlike big cities, the lights within our night skies are green, purple and pink, and when you hear someone say “the lights are out” - that’s a good thing!
