Entry #32 – Boating Blues
On May 5th of 2025 I began my position as a Water Research Technician at the Canada Centre for Inland Waters in Burlington, Ontario. The co-op job search for the summer semester of ’25 was arduous and full of disappointment on a number of fronts. Not only is summer the most competitive time for environmental…

Entry #31 – British Columbia Blitz
Hello, long time, no post! I have had quite the back log of experiences I wanted to write about, and unfortunately, the curse of time has made it all a little blurry. I’ve greatly missed adding to this archive of my experiences across Canada and while, of course, I started it originally as a project…

Micro-Adventure #1 – Forks of the Credit
I haven’t been feeling that great lately for a multitude of reasons I won’t get into. It all boils down to having a whole bunch of free time all of a sudden with nothing for my brain and hands to do. Without the routine and structure that my classes provided, I reverted to bad habits…

Entry #30 – The Clastics

Entry #29 – City of Stairs
One thing that I was not expecting about Edmonton is the amount of large wooden staircases you can find dotted around the North Saskatchewan River Valley. There are 8 well-known staircases that usually are apart of a trail of some kind though I am sure there are more. Somewhere in between my 2nd and 4th…

Entry #28 – Foothills County Under The Half-Moon
I’d made a vow to myself that I wouldn’t drive at night in places outside of city centers. It was made after a stressful drive back from Sudbury to Grundy Lake when a black bear darted across the highway where I realized that my high beams don’t work, and was reminded that I still hadn’t…

Entry #27 – The Birds and The Trees
On our way back from our fieldwork in Regina, we were invited to stop in to the little town of Indian Head – 45 minutes outside of Regina with a population just under 2,000. Nancy, my boss, has a colleague who was responsible for inviting Nancy and her research to the collaboration project between Living…

Entry #26 – Land of The Living Skies
Much like how I took to mixology and card games in the Arctic as was the culture, so it’s no surprise I have taken to country music (something I never thought I’d say) during my time in the Great Plains. Swift Current – home to the Canadian country singer Colter Wall that I have really…

Entry #25 – Putting The Hat on the Rack [Goodbye, Medicine Hat]
Saturday was my last day in the Suffield NWA, and tomorrow I say goodbye to Medicine Hat. Ironically, it took till my last few days to finally explore the heart of the city and even visit the visitors centre to pick up a commemorative sticker of the Saamis Tepee – the World’s Largest Tepee, that…
