Whenever we travel we endeavour to learn and share Whenever we travel we endeavour to learn and share in the cultures and history of where we travel. Our trip to Alberta has been no exception to this rule. In Jasper there stands a traditional Haida nation Totem pole - The Two Brothers. This was erected in 2011 and replaced the Raven Totem that was repatriated back to the Haida nation after standing here for 100 years. While not traditional Haida nation lands, this beautiful carving stands in Treaty 6 and 8 as well as the traditional lands of the Anishinabe, Aseniwuche Winewak, Dene-zaa, Nêhiyawak, Secwépemc, Stoney Nakoda, and Métis nations. As a settler family, we respectfully acknowledge these nations who continue to steward the land. We have so much to learn and work to do in reconciliation. If you are unfamiliar with A Tribe Called Red (@thehallucination) music, I highly recommend listening to them on Spotify. A brilliant mix of Music styles! 🎶 #jaspercanada #twobrotherstotempole #tourismjasper #firstnationsartists #reconciliation #tincancottage #settlerstakeaction #somuchtolearn #somuchtolearnstill #jasperalberta #jaspernationalpark #haidatotem #totempole #albertatourism #learnfromourmistakes #visitcanada #visitalberta

Our trip to Edmonton Alberta has been full of expl Our trip to Edmonton Alberta has been full of exploration! We have never been here as a family and it has been a long time since either Jenni or I have seen the city so, everything is “new” to us again. To discover the downtown we took part in a mystery scavenger hunt that had us explore the area and visit many of the local art installations and landmarks while trying to solve a murder mystery. Admittedly, we didn’t love the tour game as much as we thought we would, it was still a great way to spend an afternoon. What struck us hard was the frequency of ambulances running through town. As one of the two major city centres in the province, you’d expect this to be a central spot for the homeless and others in need. What we didn’t anticipate was the number of people in desperate need due to opiates and the reason paramedics were zipping all around the core. We witnessed support workers out on the street helping people and sadly, numerous people in desperate need. This lead us to some pretty deep discussions with our teenager about how and what we need to do as people and society. 🙁 #edmontonalberta #albertavacation #edmontondowntown #waynegretzkystatue #tincancottage #endopiateaddiction #weneedtodomore #edmontonmysteries #familyvacations #albertacanada #learningopportunities #talkingwithteens #rvfamily #explorealberta #albertacanada #downtownedmonton

While our silly and friendly selfie timing is clearly uncoordinated, this was an amazing evening out. The costumes, theatrics, choreography, music, athleticism and setting is all just fabulous. This was our first time as a family attending a show and we loved it! This is a summer of theatre and shows for our family as we haven’t had the opportunity to see live productions that we all enjoy so much during COVID.

    Campground Review: Bronte Creek Provincial Park

    January 7, 2020 /

    If you’re looking for a place to camp near Toronto, we highly recommend the campground at Bronte Creek Provincial Park.  Camping at Bronte Creek is perfect for visiting the Greater Toronto Area. The city is just a short train ride away, eliminating the hassle (and expense) of parking in Toronto. In the other direction, Niagara Falls and the Niagara wine region are less than an hour away. We have so many great things to say about Bronte that we’re going to split this review into two parts. In this first part, we’ll talk about the Bronte Creek campground. Read on to learn more or jump to our campground summary.  Bronte…
