From Providence to Prague, San Francisco to San Diego, my city dwelling sometimes makes me forget important things like where my food comes [...]

Photo Du Jour – Kalamalka Lake in the Okanagan Valley
Blog: i Backpack Canada - 2 September 2011
I love coming across locations in Canada that break my preconceived ideas of what Canada “looks like”. It’s all too easy to sum up Canada as a big giant nation with mountains, lakes, some arctic regions, a few prairies and a whole bunch of trees. However, there’s many places across Canada that defy that notion.

Celtic Colours Festival on the way
Blog: Music Road - 27 August 2011
Cape Breton, in the far north east of the Canadian Maritime provinces, has sent its fiddle and piano driven music across the world, from Japan to Singapore to Germany to Brazil to every corner of the United States and across Canada, and back home again. It is a music which draws strongly from the heritage of the west of Scotland that settlers brought with them in earlier centuries -- so strongly, in fact that at times artists from Scotland have learned from Cape Bretoners how tunes and dances lost to memory back in Scotland are still done in Atlantic Canada.
