22-29 August ‘North to Alaska…’ the old song was playing in my head as we headed north to Anchorage, Alaska. The investigation phase of my Churchill fellowship is over and we have one week before heading home. I booked a cheap cruise down the inside passage of Alaska because it...
18 aug. Flew to Vancouver today. Had a little hiccup at airport security. They pulled my bag aside and insisted I had a knife in there. Well I thought what are they on about? Why would I have a knife in my carryon? And it was the same briefcase I’d...
15 August Leaving the north now and kind of sad knowing we’re leaving the wilder parts of this country. Has been beautiful and amazing. I know life can be tough up here but I also see why so many of the doctors I’ve interviewed for this report love it so...
11 August Today we were meeting one of the longest standing northern doctors and his wife. He has raised two sons here – both have come back to work here as doctors with their doctor wives. He had invited us to attend an annual cultural camp run by the Stanley...
9 August Waskesiu Lake at Prince Albert National Park in Northern Saskatchewan is our stop today on the way to the next doctor meeting. A welcome oasis after yesterday’s crazy long drive through desert and fields. As a descendant of a Ukrainian mother it’s been very interesting to me to...
8 August On the road to Saskatchewan. Endless hours of canola and wheat fields dotted with the occasional oil well. It felt a lot like outback Australia. It was dry, hot, bushfire smoke filled the air and we drove for hours without seeing a soul. Endless roads and fields One...
Thursday 2 Aug Away from the mountains heading south to the warmer climes where they grow all the delicious summer fruits and to meet up with another dr down there. Had an overnight stop in Kamloops to break the journey and went to the B.C. wildlife park which is a...
Headed out of Jasper to Miette Hot Springs – there is more beautiful scenery than you can poke a stick at here. Stopped at the site of the Jasper house trading post in the days of the fur trade. Interesting to see how much the Indigenous people and the Europeans...
30-31 Jul Peyto glacier and lake is a fantastic short walk with magnificent views off the Icefields parkway in the Rockies. It’s sobering to see how rapidly many of these glaciers have retreated in recent times. There were some gorgeous cheeky squirrels and Least chipmunks too. One squirrel ran in...
Sunday 29th July On to Radium Hot Springs in the beautiful Kootenay National Park. The scenery was amazing even though the sky was quite hazy with smoke from bushfires throughout the state. It was a sight for sore eyes to see the wild Bighorn sheep wandering around in a herd...
