I was returning from Winnipeg travelling to my folks’ home in Portage la Prairie, and had just written my last exam with the hope that I would receive a bachelor’s degree after 3 great years at the University of Winnipeg. I was out of money and had no credit cards. (Those were the days!!) The [...]

My husband and I like to travel through the Riding Mountain National Park on our motorcycle, one day as we were riding we seen a yearling elk running along side the road, as we slowed down we witnessed the elk being chased down by a wolf. Neither of us had ever seen a wolf before [...]

We had the most amazing time visiting Manitoba, and camping. My teenage daughters made the best of friends with two other girls while camping (photo). The funniest part of the trip was the number of ’suicide’ gophers in Manitoba. While travelling some off the beaten track, we were amazed at the number of gophers. On [...]

I got into my dry suit, got into my kayak, adjusted the skirt, grabbed the paddle and headed out. I was paddling along, admiring the scenery, when I head that telltale “whoosh” nearby. I looked over my left shoulder, and the first beluga whale was just arcing back beneath the surface of the [...]
