         Could dedicated transportation routes transform our highways and revolutionize industries? Let's unravel the history behind our congested highway systems, originally built for the seamless movement of goods but now throttled by personal vehicles. Drawing inspiration from the song "Convoy," we discuss alternatives that could cut through the chaos—imagine lanes exclusively for transport trucks, vastly improving efficiency in traffic-heavy cities like Toronto. We reflect on the legacy of the United States Interstate System, the Trans-Canada Highway, and the potential benefits of separating the paths of goods and personal vehicles.   Everett J. #autolooks

For many Canadians, the May long weekend means the official kick-off of the summer travel season.

It's not just big cities where public safety is a concern. In the Cowichan Valley, for example, there's an area surrounding the Trans-Canada Highway where some residents and business owners say crime, drug use, and street disorder mean they don't feel safe in their own community. It's in the region's urban core, where North Cowichan, Duncan, and Cowichan Tribes land meet. On this episode we talk to some of those people, as well as to those working to try and change things.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Want to hear some good news out of the Cowichan Valley?Check out these stories:Fresh Vancouver Island food delivered straight to your doorstepThis native plant nursery will bring traditional foods and medicines to the Cowichan Valley

Cut! Galatians 5:2-12 by William Klock Back in 1998, just after we were married, Veronica and I travelled to Montreal for her interview with the US immigration folks.  While we were there, we took a day to drive to Ottawa to do some sight-seeing.  It was March and still very much winter in Montreal and as we left the island, driving over the bridge on the Trans-Canada Highway where the Ottawa and St. Lawrence rivers converge, we were surprised to see a Jeep speeding across the frozen river, going in the opposite direction back towards Montreal, driving on the ice.  Having lived my whole life on the West Coast I'd never seen anything like that myself.  I have no idea about the history of bridges to and from Montreal Island, but I would guess that at one point riding a horse or driving a wagon across the frozen river was the usual way to get across during Winter.  But then Spring would come, the ice would melt, and all that would change.  I expect there were ferries that carried people across the rest of the year, until the river froze again. Now, for Paul writing to the Galatians, Jesus is like that spring thaw.  Ever since they'd left Egypt, the identity of the people of God had been tied up in their observance of the law.  Circumcision was the beginning of it—eight days after a boy was born.  That marked him out as one of God's people, as a member of God's covenant and an heir of his promises.  But through life, that identity was lived out by keeping the law: by celebrating the Passover every year, by keeping the Sabbath, by offering sacrifices at the temple, by eating only clean foods and by avoiding unclean things and people.  The law was the way to righteousness, the way to fellowship with God.  But that was like driving across the river on the ice.  It was all right and good—and in the case of torah it was God-given—but it was for a time.  Things changed.  Jesus changed them.  Jesus changed everything.  In Jesus Spring has sprung.  God's new creation has begun.  The old world is starting to thaw.  Think of the wonderful image that Lewis used in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, with Narnia frozen by the witch—always winter, but never Christmas.  But when Aslan arrived, the whole country began to thaw and the new life of Spring began break through the snow and the ice.  Jesus has changed everything and in Jesus' new world, the law no longer counts—it'll no longer get you across the river, because the river's thawed.  Try to get across with the law now and you'll just be caught up in the current and lost downstream.  In Galatians 5:2 Paul puts it this way: Look here: I, Paul, am telling you that if you get circumcised, the Messiah will be of no use to you.   So over the last four chapters Paul has made his argument to the Galatians and, we saw last week, he's finished it with the command to cast out the false teachers—to cast them out the way Sarah cast out Hagar and Ishmael—because there's only one family that has inherited God's promises.  Cast them out.  They're undermining the gospel.  Don't let their heresy fester; cast them out.  But I expect Paul knew they would need more to persuade them to do that, so now he turns back to the circumcision issue.  Actually, this is the first time that he mentions circumcision outright in the letter.  So he sort of pulls himself up to his full height and says, “Look here!  I, Paul—you know, the apostle who met Jesus personally and who told you the good news about Jesus in the first place—I want to be very clear that if you follow the advice of these circumcision folks, if you get circumcised, Jesus the Messiah will be of no use to you.” Those are some powerful words.  These pagan gentiles had been completely captivated by the good news about Jesus: this man in whom God became incarnate, who died for the sake of his people, who rose from death and then ascended to his throne.  They were captivated by the good news about this Lord who was unlike any lord or god they'd ever known.  And they believed, they'd been baptised, and God had plunged them into his Spirit and they'd been transformed.  They knew the power of the gospel.  They knew the power of Jesus and the Spirit.  And Paul's saying, “If you get circumcised, all of that is gone.   The good news here is that if Paul's putting this way, it means the Galatian believers haven't yet caved into the pressure from the circumcision agitators.  Reading between the lines, it sounds like the agitators have split up the church with the ethnic Jews—the circumcised—on the inside, while the gentile believers are being forced to sort of participate or to watch from the sidelines—just as things were in the temple in Jerusalem with Jews in the inner court making their offerings and sacrifices at the altar while the gentiles were stuck in the outer court imagining what was going on inside.  Maybe the agitators had got them eating kosher and observing the Jewish calendar, but none of the gentiles had actually gone all the way to circumcision yet.  And Paul's trying to get to them, to persuade them before they do.  Because if they do, it's like driving your car onto that thin, melting ice.  Jesus has made a better way.  So he goes on in verse 3: I testify once more, against every person who gets circumcised, that he is thereby under obligation to perform the entire law.   Paul reminds them what it really means to be under the law.  Even the agitators seem to have forgotten that.  They wanted these gentile believers to do just enough so that they could pass for Jews with the authorities: get circumcised, stop buying pork in the market, observe the Sabbath and other Jewish holy days.  They were motivated by fear.  These new gentile believers were abandoning the gods and the religious customs of the Greeks and Romans and to avoid getting into trouble they were claiming the Jewish exemption—except they weren't Jews—and if the authorities caught on, it might bring persecution on the whole Jewish community.  So the agitators wanted these gentile believers to take on some of the obvious Jewish externals.  And Paul reminds them of what they should have known already: that's not how the law works.  The law is all or nothing.  They've accused Paul of only teaching part of the gospel and now Paul turns around and accuses them of teaching only part of the law.  If the gentile believers go the way of circumcision, they'll end up neither genuine Messiah people nor genuine torah-observing Jews. Back in 2:15-21 Paul said that “through the law [I] died to the law” and that “if righteousness is through the law, the Messiah died to no purpose.”  Now in verse 4 he says the same thing another way: You are split off from the Messiah, you people who want to be justified by the law.  You have dropped out of grace.   To look for justification—which means to show you're a member of God's covenant people—to look for that through torah, is to reject the grace of the gospel.  He's been stressing that God's covenant people are now those marked out by baptism into the death and resurrection of Jesus the Messiah.  That faith in Jesus—and nothing else—is what marks us out as God's people.  The moment you add to that—whether torah or anything else—you lose the gospel and when you lose the gospel you lose God's grace.  In this case, if circumcision is what marks out God's people, then there was no reason for the Messiah to die and to take that old mark in your flesh as a means of justifying your place in the covenant is to reject Jesus and the gospel. But why?  Well, Paul explains in verses 5 and 6: For we are waiting eagerly, by the Spirit and by faith, for the hope of righteousness.  For in the Messiah, Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any power.  What matters is faith, working through love.   Do you remember last week when I was closing and talked about how seriously Paul took false gospels?  We tend to dither around and make excuses when it comes to false teaching.  We often struggle to know where to draw the line.  It's not always easy to tell where the line is—where something that's just poor teaching crosses into bona fide heresy.  In contrast, Paul was really clear: Cast them out.  Get rid of them.  Don't let the false teachers influence the church.  And the way to tell when something crossed the line was to ask if this teaching was still pointing forward into the age to come or if it was something that would drag us back into the old evil age.  Paul gets at that again here when he says that we're waiting eagerly, by the Spirit and by faith, for the hope of righteousness.  In other words, true Christians will always be looking forward in hope to the day when God will vindicate our faith in Jesus, that day when he will finally judge sin and evil and wipe it all from his creation, when death will be no more, when everything will finally be set to rights, and we—his people through faith in Jesus—will live in his presence forever.  Does our theology, does our practise honour the saving work of Jesus and the Spirit and does it look forward to the day when the work of Jesus and the Spirit will finally be fulfilled—or—is our theology or our practise dragging us back into the old age, into the things that once held us captive—whether the law for Jews or the powers of this evil age for the gentiles.  In this case, in terms of practical outworking, does our theology and practise bring us together as one people in Jesus, or does it separate us.  Again, think of the temple with Jews on the inside and gentiles on the out—and how these circumcision folks were trying to impose that kind of template on the Galatian churches all over again. In contrast, in Jesus it no longer matters whether you're circumcised or not.  That was part of the old covenant, the old way, but the ice has melted and that old way won't get you anywhere anymore.  No, someday, before the watching eyes of the whole world, God will call us his own and it won't because of any marks we bear in our flesh or because of anything we've done, it will because we have been baptised into, because by faith we have put on the Messiah as our identity and because God has poured his Spirit into us.  Jesus and the Spirit are the ticket that will give us passage on the ferry across the river.  What matters, he says, is faith working through love.  Faith is the only way to get the ticket—and here Paul hints at what he'll have to say later in the chapter—faith is more than just a thinking thing; it's more than just giving our intellectual assent to the propositions of the creed.  Faith means trust.  Faith means loyalty.  Faith means allegiance.  Faith means committing ourselves to God's new creation made manifest in the risen Jesus and the gift of the Spirit—a new creation made possible by love—and so faith, true, real faith in God's love and that returns God's love and that manifests God's love to the world, that kind of faith is what matters.  That kind of faith is what marks out the people of God and that kind of faith is what will see us through—through hardships and opposition and persecution and maybe even martyrdom—that is the faith that will bring us through to the day when all God's promises will finally be fulfilled. And Paul thought they knew all this, which is why he's so shocked and frustrated with them.  It's why he wants to know how they could have gone so wrong so quickly.  See how he continues in verse 7: You were running so well.  Who cut in on you and stopped you being persuaded by the truth?  This persuasion didn't come from the one who called you.    When Paul left them they were well on their way, running for the prize—running into God's new creation—but now they've gone off course.  “Who's cut in on you?” Paul asks.  It's not the normal word we might expect him to use for someone interrupting the runners, slowing them down or setting them on the wrong course, but Paul is making a harsh accusation here and so he tempers it with some wordplay.  They want to be circumcised, they want to be cut in their flesh.  That was never part of the plan for this race, so he asks, “You who want to be cut, who's cut in on you?”  They were set on the truth of the gospel, but these other folks showed up and have cut in on all that with a false gospel.  He reminds them that it was God who called them to this in the beginning—through the good news about Jesus—but this new persuasion, this new “truth” they're going after, that came from somewhere else—not from God.  They're playing a dangerous game and Paul reminds them of an old Jewish proverb in verse 9: A little yeast works its way through the whole lump.   I think what he's trying to say is that once you start going astray from the gospel, it's not long before you've lost the gospel entirely.  We see this a lot down through church history.  Add something to Jesus as a marker of covenant membership and pretty soon you've lost the whole gospel.  Paul might also be warning them that once you start listening to one false teacher, pretty soon you start listening to anyone.  That happens a lot too.  And so Paul exhorts them: I am persuaded in the Lord that you won't differ from me on this.  But the one who is troubling you will bear the blame, whoever he may be.   They were originally persuaded by God to pursue the truth of the gospel, but these other folks have persuaded them to pursue something else, so Paul stresses that the Lord has persuaded him.  Persuaded him of what?  That, in the end, they'll come back to the gospel truth.  He says literally “you will think nothing else”.  When Paul says that he is “persuaded in the Lord”—something he doesn't say often—it means that he's been praying about something and that the Lord has given him a clear conviction.  It would be dangerous for us talk this way, but Paul was in that unique position of having the authority of an apostle.  The point seems to be that the Lord has revealed to Paul that the Galatians will come back to the truth, but that it will be Paul's Spirit-inspired words that will be the means of bringing them back. By the same token, this false teacher who has been trying to lead them astray will “bear the blame”.  Paul might be referring to the way that the Galatians will cast him out—as he told them to do at the end of Chapter 4 or it might even be more serious than that.  He might be talking about God's judgement and condemnation of this false teacher.  Paul just calls him “whoever he may be” and I don't think that's because Paul didn't know who this man was.  The church in those first decades was small and everyone knew everyone.  Whoever it was, Paul's point is that they can't dither on this false teaching.  They can't treat it as something of secondary importance.  There are lots of things on which Christians can differ.  Someone's wrong and someone's right, but there are some issues on which we can disagree while still holding tightly to the truth of the gospel.  This was not one of those things.  This was one of those things on which the gospel stands or falls and Paul wants them to know—it's a bit of a threat—that this false teacher will without a doubt be held accountable—and the quiet part he doesn't say out loud is that anyone who goes along with him will also go down with him.  He's headed out onto thin ice with his car and anyone who goes along for the ride will end up at the bottom of the river with him.  Brothers and Sisters, false teaching is no joke. Then verse 11.  Paul seems to be addressing an accusation against him. As for me, my dear brothers [and sisters], if I am still announcing circumcision, why are people still persecuting me?  If I were, the scandal of the cross would have been neutralised.   It sounds like these agitators, knowing Paul's history as a Pharisee, back in the days before Jesus met him on the road to Damascus, it sounds like they've been telling the Galatians that Paul was still preaching circumcision—just not to them.  Saying that Paul's a hypocrite.  And so Paul appeals to his own suffering and persecution.  They knew what had happened to him.  It sounds like when he first showed up in Galatia, he was beaten and bloody and weak because of persecution in some nearby town or city.  Paul appeals to that.  This is a strand that runs all through Galatians that I'd never noticed until I started this series of sermons, but it's there.  For Paul, suffering for the sake of the gospel was often proof of its truth.  It goes back to the cross.  Jesus' crucifixion set the pattern so that to follow him wasn't just a new way to be religious—as so many people treat it today: it's good for me, but if you don't like it that's okay too.  The gospel isn't just another option on the religious smorgasbord.  For Paul, the good news about Jesus is the truth that had already begun to change the world.  It is the truth that Jesus has already overthrown the powers and kings of the present age and inaugurated the age to come.  And, in light of that, Paul didn't see the churches as little religious clubs, but as a network of communities where people, filled with God's own Spirit, were living out God's new creation in the midst of the old, declaring that Jesus is Lord right under the nose of Caesar, who made that claim for himself—for example.  Living as one people in the midst of ferocious ethnic and religious divides.  Living as a people of grace and mercy in the midst of a dog-eat-dog world.  As Paul wrote to the Corinthians, this made the gospel a scandal and a stumbling block.  Even this early in his career as an apostle and mission Paul can say it.  His calling is to proclaim the good news of Jesus, crucified and risen and the world's true Lord.  The Spirit works in the hearts of those who hear that good news.  In some the Spirit uses that message to bring about faith, hope, and love, but for others the scandal of the crucified God causes them to cast stones at the messenger who dares announce this anti-religious, anti-social, and unpatriotic message.  If all Paul had been announcing was that pagans could get circumcised and join the Jews in their synagogues in order to become exempt from pagan worship, why no one would have been persecuting him. No, if Paul had been doing that, the scandal of the cross would have been neutralised—something I think every generation finds its own way of doing as we trim the culturally offensive bits of the gospel.  And so Paul says, closing off the paragraph in verse 12: I wish those who are making trouble for you would cut the whole lot off.   Paul comes back to his wordplay with circumcision and cutting off.  Don't stop at circumcision, just cut the whole thing off.  Of course, under torah, that sort of mutilation would have cut them off from covenant.  But, too, the goddess Cybele was popular in Galatia and it wasn't uncommon for her devotees to work themselves up in a manic ritual that ended with them castrating themselves.  I suspect Paul has that in mind, because as he's said, whether it was the Jews under the law or the gentiles under their pagan powers, humanity before Jesus was enslaved and to undermine the cross through circumcision, going back to the law, well, these gentiles might as well just go back to their old pagan gods and their old pagan worship.  Either way, they'll end up “cut off” from God and from his people. That's as far as we'll go this week.  As much as the Galatian problem may seem distant and irrelevant to us, since circumcision and keeping the Jewish law aren't likely to be our problem, what I hope you can see is the underlying issue.  There are things in every age that we do, by which we undercut the good news of Jesus' death and resurrection.  The Galatians were motivated by fear of persecution—and that's often the driver.  We're afraid, whether it's that we might lose our lives or just offend friends or family, for the sake of the gospel and so we compromise, we water things down, we shave the sharp corners off the message where it confronts our culture and the powers of our day.  We end up with a false gospel powerless to save and we run the risk ourselves of losing our way—of running off the race course, of trying to cross the river on the melting spring ice…and putting ourselves in a position where we have forsaken God's grace and made the Messiah of no use to us.  Paul reminds us here that suffering, that persecution for the sake of gospel truth is part of the formula, because we trust in and follow and proclaim the crucified and risen Messiah—a stumbling block to Jews and a scandal to gentiles.  Brothers and Sisters, take hold of that gospel truth and run—run the course that leads straight to God's new age, straight to his new creation and let no one cut in on you, take no short cut.  There is only one way.  It begins with trusting Jesus and the Spirit, but it also means continuing to trust Jesus and the Spirit along the way, trusting that God will bring us through suffering—just as he did Jesus—to that day when we ourselves will be raised from death and everything is made new. Let's pray: O God, you know us to be set in the midst of so many and great dangers, that by reason of the frailty of our nature we cannot always stand upright: grant to us such strength and protection as may support us in all dangers and carry us through all temptations; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.  Amen.

Interview with Maura Kolb, President of Dryden Gold Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/dryden-gold-tsxvdry-high-grade-prospect-advances-with-visible-gold-and-successful-funding-5955Recording date: 13th November 2024Dryden Gold (TSXV:DRY) offers investors a compelling opportunity to gain exposure to a potential world-class gold discovery in the making. With a commanding 70,000 hectare land package in the heart of Northwestern Ontario, Dryden is aggressively exploring in a region that has produced numerous multi-million ounce, high-grade gold deposits.The company's primary focus is the Gold Rock Camp, a historically productive gold district that saw limited past exploration despite some bonanza-grade mining in the early 1900s. Dryden's recent drilling has confirmed the presence of a significant high-grade gold system, with intercepts including 30.72 g/t gold over 5.7 meters and 8.9 g/t over 12 meters. These results come on the heels of historic drilling which returned up to 53,000 g/t gold.Dryden's geological team, led by President Maura Kolb, has developed a 3D model of the high-grade Elora Zone using state-of-the-art oriented core drilling. This detailed understanding of the structural controls on mineralization has enabled the company to trace the gold-bearing system from surface down to a depth of over 150 meters, where it remains open for expansion. Follow-up drilling is in progress to further define and expand the Elora Zone both along strike and at depth.The Elora Zone is just one of several high-potential targets Dryden is advancing across its large land package. At the Hyndman target to the east, grab samples have returned up to 10 g/t gold in an area with excellent access and infrastructure along the Trans-Canada Highway. To the south, the Sherridon target has seen visible gold in 8 out of 10 historic drill holes, with Dryden's team working to refine the geologic model in preparation for follow-up drilling.Dryden benefits from a management team with extensive experience in the region, including CEO Maura Kolb's 8 years exploring in the world-class Red Lake gold camp. The company is well-funded to continue its aggressive exploration push, with over $5 million in working capital following the closing of a recent private placement.The company's ongoing drilling efforts are underpinned by a robust gold market, with the price of the yellow metal surging to multi-year highs above $2,600 an ounce. This strong macro backdrop has sparked a resurgence in investor interest for gold, providing a timely opportunity for Dryden to attract a growing audience to its discovery-stage story.With a major land position in a world-class gold belt, high-grade drill results, a proven management team, and a healthy treasury, Dryden Gold offers investors a unique opportunity to participate in a high-impact exploration story with the potential to deliver a significant new gold discovery. As drilling continues to unfold over the coming months, Dryden is well positioned to generate substantial news flow and value creation for shareholders.View Dryden Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/dryden-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this week's episode we kick off our two-part series exploring the stunning province of Ontario, Canada!  This journey takes us to four of the five Great Lakes and as far north as there are roads, focusing on the beautiful Canadian landscape. We decided on Ontario after a year of stagnation created an urge for adventure. Traditionally, our road trips led us south, but with the increasing summer heat, we decided to turn our sights northward. Our travels took us through picturesque towns like Guelph, Temagami, Englehart, Matheson, Timmins, Cochrane, and Kapuskasing, We traveled the TransCanada Highway, and explored Ontario's Provincial Parks and campgrounds including Marten River, Kip-Kap-Iwan, and Kettle Lakes to name a few. We ate dumplings from a food truck on the side of the highway, swam in mineral spring-fed lakes and watched the milky way arch overhead every night.  Join us as we recount these adventures and share insights from our unforgettable trip!

Radisson Mining has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with IAMGOLD Corporation to assess the design criteria for processing mined material from Radisson's O'Brien Gold Project at the nearby Doyon gold mill, part of IAMGOLD's Doyon-Westwood mine complex. The Doyon mill is located 21 kilometres west of O'Brien within Quebec's Abitibi region and directly accessible along Trans-Canada Highway 117. CEO Matt Manson provides his commentary on the announcement.

On this week's edition of the Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, the first installment of two focusing on ways to enhance the safety of animals, and human drivers, with wildlife crossings. In Part I this week, a conversation with Tim Johnson, a landscape connectivity specialist with the Yellowstone to Yukon (Y2Y) Conservation Initiative.Going back some three decades, Canadian transportation and wildlife officials have collaborated on ways to build safe crossings to protect both animals and humans in Alberta. A system of 38 underpasses and six overpasses and fencing on 82 km of the Trans-Canada Highway in Banff National Park are also part of the longest ongoing wildlife crossing research and monitoring program in the world.Johnson explains how the crossings work, how different animals use them and, especially, why these are just as beneficial to humans as the animals.The hope is that Michigan officials can learn from the success from western officials as state officials pursue a federal grant for crossings here. Michigan State Police say more than 58,000 deer-related crashes occurred in the state in 2022. That's a 13 percent increase from 2021, a decade high. Repairs from those crashes could be just as high.In Wyoming, a $24.3 million federal grant awarded in 2023 was the largest made from the U.S. Department of Transportation's first tranche of $109 million for a novel Wildlife Crossings Pilot Program. Wyoming will use the money to fund the bulk of the $37 million construction project that will involve fencing 30 miles of the highway, building six or so new underpasses and a wildlife bridge for skittish antelope that won't go through a tunnel.Podcast photo courtesy of Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative.

Interview with Maura Kolb, President, and Trey Wasser, CEO of Dryden Gold Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/dryden-gold-tsxvdry-delivers-high-grade-gold-results-in-canadas-next-major-gold-camp-5491Recording date: 30th July 2024Dryden Gold Corp (TSXV:DRY) presents an intriguing opportunity for investors seeking exposure to early-stage gold exploration in a promising Canadian jurisdiction. The company, which went public in January 2024, controls a vast 60,000-hectare land package in the Dryden area of northwestern Ontario, an region with a history of high-grade gold occurrences and proximity to essential infrastructure.At the heart of Dryden Gold's investment thesis is the potential for a district-scale gold discovery. The property hosts numerous high-grade gold showings, including historical drill intercepts of 53,700 g/t gold over 0.5 meters and 3,497 g/t gold over 8.5 meters. While these exceptional grades are not necessarily representative of the overall deposit, they highlight the potential for significant high-grade shoots within the system.The company is currently executing a systematic exploration strategy, including:A five-phase drilling program, with the final phase set to commence imminentlyRe-logging and re-sampling of historical drill core to identify previously overlooked mineralizationTargeted fieldwork on satellite prospects like the recently expanded Hyndman propertyDryden Gold's technical team, led by CEO Trey Wasser and including experienced geologists, is applying a rigorous approach to target prioritization and capital allocation. This strategy aims to maximize the impact of exploration spending while minimizing dilution to shareholders – a crucial consideration for junior explorers.The project benefits from excellent infrastructure, including access to the Trans-Canada Highway and local power sources. This advantageous location could significantly reduce future development costs and enhance the economic viability of any discoveries.Near-term catalysts that could drive investor interest include:Results from the upcoming Phase 5 drilling programOngoing outcomes from the historical core re-logging initiativePotential new discoveries from fieldwork at satellite targetsInvestors should note that Dryden Gold, as an early-stage explorer, carries inherent risks. The company will likely require additional capital raises to fund ongoing exploration, which could lead to dilution. Success is dependent on exploration results, which are inherently uncertain.The macro environment for gold exploration remains supportive, with stable gold prices, underinvestment in exploration by major producers, and increasing interest in projects in stable jurisdictions. Dryden Gold's focus on high-grade potential in Ontario aligns well with current market preferences.As CEO Trey Wasser noted, "This land package is 60,000 hectares. It's a district size scale play, and so it's something that's attractive to a larger [company]." This statement underscores the strategic value of Dryden Gold's asset in an environment where quality projects in favorable jurisdictions are increasingly scarce.For investors considering Dryden Gold, thorough due diligence is essential. Key areas to monitor include upcoming drill results, outcomes of the re-logging program, the company's cash position, and potential strategic interest from larger mining companies. While early-stage and speculative, Dryden Gold offers exposure to a promising exploration play in one of Canada's emerging gold districts.View Dryden Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/dryden-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Torr Metals CEO Malcolm Dorsey joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion after the government of Ontario granted a three-year exploration permit for drilling at its Filion gold project. This significant advancement allows the company to further develop the 260 km² project in northern Ontario, which benefits from excellent infrastructure, including access to the Trans-Canada Highway 11, rail, road, and power grid. The project operates out of Kapuskasing, negating the need for remote exploration camps and enabling low-cost exploration. Dorsey said the project, acquired through staking in October 2023, has shown promising early results. Torr Metals' exploration model identified structural controls and stratigraphy indicative of significant gold deposits. Historical high-grade samples, up to 91g per tonne gold, and initial reconnaissance programs have yielded encouraging results. Six gold soil anomalies were identified, with the largest anomaly having a strike length of 1,200 meters and a width of 250 meters. Soil assays returned up to 1.3g per tonne gold. With the exploration permit, Dorsey said the company plans to drill and extend the soil anomaly potentially to 2.5 km in length. Additional work may include soil sampling and ground magnetic surveys. Investors should expect updates on site mobilization and exploration program developments. #TorrMetals #Mining #GoldExploration #Ontario #FilionGoldProject #Infrastructure #ExplorationPermit #Kapuskasing #GoldAnomalies #SoilSampling #DrillingPermit #GoldDeposits #MiningNews #ExplorationUpdate #NaturalResources #Investment #MineralExploration #GoldMining #MiningIndustry #ResourceDevelopment #ProactiveInvestors #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Three rare white grizzlies were killed recently on the Trans-Canada Highway near Lake Louise. Their deaths are raising questions about how to protect the health of bears in this province. We heard your thoughts on that issue, and your stories about bear encounters.

Interview with Maura Kolb, President, and Trey Wasser, CEO of Dryden Gold Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/dryden-gold-tsxvdry-expands-early-high-grade-finds-of-gold-occurrences-5164Recording date: 5th June 2024Dryden Gold Corp (TSXV:DRY) is an emerging gold exploration company with a district-scale land package in the underexplored Dryden Gold camp of Northwest Ontario. The company has consolidated over 60,000 hectares of prospective ground and made a high-grade gold discovery at its flagship project.Dryden Gold's initial drill campaign returned spectacular high-grade intercepts of 3.17 g/t gold over 4.00 meters including 19.34 g/t gold over 0.65 meters, and 26.11 g/t gold over 3.16 m, including 79.80 g/t gold over 0.33 m. These results confirm a large, high-grade gold system with the potential for multiple mineralized shoots.The Dryden project benefits from excellent infrastructure, with the Trans-Canada Highway and power lines running through the property. The project is located in a well-established mining jurisdiction, with the town of Dryden providing a local workforce and services.With ~C$3 million in working capital, a tight share structure (~50 million shares outstanding), and an aggressive exploration campaign underway, Dryden Gold is well positioned to deliver ongoing discovery success. The company's drill program confirmed the potential for a significant high-grade deposit, with mineralization remaining open in all directions and at depth.Dryden also plans to re-log and sample over 20,000 meters of historical drill core - an inexpensive way to potentially generate additional discoveries. Dryden has assembled a deep pipeline of brownfield and greenfield targets across its district-scale land package. Sampling has returned high-grade gold from multiple targets which remain largely untested. Recent prospecting has also identified a new greenfield discovery at the Hinman target.Overall, Dryden Gold offers investors exposure to an exciting high-grade gold discovery in a Tier 1 jurisdiction. With a large land package, a growing resource, and multiple discovery opportunities, Dryden has the potential to become a major gold story in the making.The company's strong management team, tight share structure, and backing from prominent mining investors provide a solid foundation for ongoing growth and value creation. Investors looking for high-grade gold discovery upside should strongly consider Dryden Gold Corp. With several potential catalysts on the horizon - including succeeding drill results, re-logging program results, and regional target testing - Dryden is entering an exciting period of growth and discovery. The company's valuation remains attractive at current levels, providing investors with a compelling entry point ahead of upcoming news flow.View Dryden Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/dryden-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Welcome back to The Big Year Podcast.  Sorry to have been gone so long, but birding seemed to drag me away from editing more often than not in April.  Not to mention that I was recovering from a severe hand injury, when I fell after seeing both Ross's and Snow Geese in Burlington in March.  I hyper extended all the fingers on my right hand, using it to brace myself and protect my camera as tripped over a rock and fell to the ground.   It is May 2, 2024 and I was supposed to publish this episode yesterday, but once again, birds got in the way.  In this case a Summer Tanager arrived in my old birding patch in Toronto, Colonel Samuel Smith Park, on the shores of Lake Ontario.  There seems to be an eruption of Summer Tanagers here in Ontario this spring. This year at least half a dozen have shown up in various locations.  I had just seen one in Chatham, not far from Rondeau provincial park, a few days ago, but one in Col. Sam was worth the drive yesterday morning.  Second only to my ABA list, my Colonel Sam list is the most important to me.  I began birding on January 1, 2012 and I have been birding there ever since.  The summer tanager was number 242 for the park.  With migration gearing up I'm sure to out birding nearly every day, including a drive to the east coast, along the Trans-Canada Highway. I'll be working on some new content and working on the next episode along the way.  This trip, unlike my 2022 Big Year, will be on a budget. I've got a new air mattress for the back of my Ford EcoSport and will be camping most nights, probably in a WallMart parking lot, or the occasional roadside ditch.  I might even splurge and get a spot in a province or national park some nights.  I was inspired to do this trip by Tiffany Kirsten, as that's how she saved money when shebroke the all time lower 48 Big Year Record.   Well, enough of me rambling, so let's get on to this episode. My guest, all the way from the west coast, is Krissi Martin .  Krissi did a double big year in 2022.  While I was criss-crossing the country, Krissi was birding locally in two counties, the Fraser Valley and Metro Vancouver. So, sit back, relax, unless you're driving, and enjoy.

This is our last episode for Season 6. We welcome back our guest host Ted and we talk about more stories from Newfoundland and Labrador. We talk about the origins of the Screech In Ceremony where you can become an honorary Newfoundlander in just a few easy steps. Then we visit a forgotten monument that was meant to commemorate the completion of the Trans-Canada Highway. Finally, we reminisce about food and beverage that are native to or common in our province.   We are taking a short hiatus to prepare for Season 7.

A Codroy Valley man is raising concerns about the number of big rigs blowing over in the Wreckhouse area and the danger to other drivers. At least twice this month alone, transport trucks have tipped over at Wreckhouse and blocked the Trans Canada Highway. Frank Aucoin says the provincial transportation department could do more to ensure safety.

Interview with Jamie Levy, President & CEO of  Generation Mining Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/generation-mining-tsxgenm-marathon-palladium-project-fast-tracked-to-production-3906Recording date: 6th March 2024Generation Mining (TSX:GENM) is steadily advancing its Marathon Palladium-Copper project in Northwestern Ontario towards production. The company recently achieved a major milestone with the receipt of its environmental assessment approval in November 2022. It is now in the final permitting stages, anticipating receipt of all necessary construction permits by summer 2024.The Marathon project benefits from an enviable location and infrastructure, situated along the Trans-Canada Highway with access to rail, roads, and low-cost renewable hydroelectric power. Importantly, Generation has secured strong social license and support from local First Nations groups and the municipality of Marathon.While the recent rise in copper and palladium prices is encouraging, Levy acknowledged that generalist investor sentiment towards mining equities remains muted. However, he sees this changing as copper prices reach incentive levels of $4.25-$4.50/lb needed to stimulate new production. Palladium also has a bullish outlook, with a large short position to be covered and ongoing supply disruptions.For investors, Generation offers direct exposure to two future-facing "green" metals - copper and palladium - that are poised to benefit from the global energy transition. The company is significantly derisked and attractively valued compared to producing miners. With permits on track, a seasoned team, and a world-class jurisdiction, Generation is well-positioned to unlock value as it advances Marathon toward production in a tightening market.Key upcoming catalysts include the anticipated receipt of construction permits by summer 2024, completion of a feasibility study, and securing a comprehensive project financing package. Rising copper and palladium prices will further derisk the funding and construction of the Marathon project.As CEO Jamie Levy noted, the smart money appears to be positioning for a turn in the mining cycle, even if generalist funds are not yet fully engaged. Generation Mining presents a differentiated opportunity to gain exposure to a robust copper-palladium project in a top-tier jurisdiction as metals markets tighten over the coming years. With key permits on the horizon and a proven management team, Generation is one to watch.View Generation Mining's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/generation-miningSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Carol Loeb is a Canadian acrylic and mixed media artist who has always been fascinated with nature and our relationship to it. Carol's main subject is the landscape, both rural and urban. She works mainly in acrylics, usually blocking in dark and mid-tone areas first then adding thin layers of saturated color to create luminosity and depth. The result is a realism that goes beyond a photographic representation or record of place. In the lead-up to Canada's 150th anniversary, she conceived and executed the Trans-Canada 150 art project, a cross-continental documentation of the Canadian landscape along the Trans-Canada Highway from coast to coast, culminating in a series of 52 studio paintings and a book. More recently, as travel had been restricted by the global pandemic, she has concentrated on industrial and urban landscapes. Learn more about the artist here. Learn more about the podcast here.

Back in 2012, a wildlife fence stretching over 16 kilometres was installed on the Trans Canada Highway between Gallants and Barachois. It's just one of many attempts to keep moose off the province's highways. Of course, there's still work to be done. Just last week, a 54-year-old man died after hitting a moose on the highway near Birchy Narrows. We spoke with John Abbott, NL's Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure.

Victoria County Warden Bruce Morrison and Wagmatcook First Nation Chief Norman Bernard have written to Premier Tim Houston asking government to reduce the speed limit along the Trans-Canada Highway outside Baddeck from 80 km/h to 60 km/h.

Twenty-nine ski areas with vertical drops over 1,000 feet. Fourteen soar beyond 2,000. Five cross the 3,000-foot mark. Four pass 4,000. And BC is home to the only two ski areas in North America that give you 5,000 or more vertical feet: Whistler and King Revelstoke. Thirteen BC bumps deliver 1,000-plus acres of terrain, and at least 20 load up on 200 inches or more of snow per season. Check these stats:British Columbia is like the Lamborghini dealership of skiing. Lots of power, lots of flash, lots of hot damn is that real? No duds. Nothing you'd be embarrassed to pick up a date in. A few community bumps, sure. But the BC Bros can stack their power towers – Big White, Fernie, Kicking Horse, Kimberley, Panorama, Red, Revelstoke, Silver Star, Sun Peaks, Whistler, and Whitewater – against any collection of ski areas anywhere on the planet and feel pretty good about winning that knife fight.And yet, even in this Seal Team Six of ski resorts, Sun Peaks looks heroic, epaulets and medals dangling from its dress blues. This is the second-largest ski area in Canada. Ponder that BC ski roster again to understand what that means: Sun Peaks gives you more acreage than anything on the famed Powder Highway, more than Revy or Red or Kicking Horse or Fernie. Turn north at Kamloops, east at Hefley Creek, and get lost at the end of the valley.But Sun Peaks' sheer size is less impressive than how the resort won those big-mountain stats. “British Columbia has probably the most progressive ski resort development policy in the world,” Alexander tells me in the podcast. When he arrived at the bump that was then called “Tod Mountain” in 1993, the place was three chairlifts and some surface movers serving a single peak:Over the next 30 years, Nippon Cable transformed the joint into a vast ski Narnia not only because they were willing to funnel vast capital into the hill, but because the BC government let them do it, under a set of rules known as the B.C. Commercial Alpine Ski policy. While inspiring, this is not an unusual ski area evolution tale for Western Canada. Compare the 10 largest BC ski areas today to the 10 largest in 1994:The acreage explosions at all but Whistler-Blackcomb (which at the time operated as independent ski areas), are astonishing. To underscore the point, check out the same years' comparison for the 10-largest U.S. ski areas:Certainly, the U.S. has seen some dramatic shuffling, especially as Vail and Alterra combined Canyons with Park City and Alpine Meadows with the ski area formerly known as Squaw Valley to form the megaresorts of Park City and Palisades Tahoe. That Big Sky didn't measure on the top 10 in 1994 – the tram didn't arrive until 1995 – is amazing. But the Western U.S., in 1994, was already home to legions of enormous ski resorts. That Heavenly, Mammoth, and Jackson Hole are the exact same size today as they were 29 years ago illustrates the difference between the two countries' attitudes toward ski resort expansion and development. Canada nurtures growth. The U.S. makes it as difficult as possible. Indeed, the reason Big Sky was able to ascend to monster status is that the resort sits entirely on private land, immunizing it from Forest Service bureaucracy and the endless public challenges that attend it.Sun Peaks is a case study in BC's development-friendly policies actualized. More important: the resort's evolution is a case study in smart, transit-oriented, pedestrian-friendly development. Alexander explains in the podcast that the long-range goal has been to build not just walkable base villages, but a walkable community stretching from one end of the valley to the other. This is the point that's so often missed in the United States: not all growth and development is bad. The reckless, developer-driven, luxury-focused, disconnected sprawl that is U.S. America's default building mode is terrible and inhuman and ought to be curtailed. Deliberate, dense, interconnected, metered development based upon a community masterplan - which is what Sun Peaks is doing - should be encouraged.This sort of thoughtful growth does not dilute mountain communities. It creates them. Rather than trying to freeze development in time – a posture that only kicks sprawl ever farther out from the mountains and leads directly to the traffic addling so many Western U.S. ski towns – BC has enabled and empowered the sort of place-building that will create sustainable mountain communities over the long term. It's an inspiring model, and one that The Storm will examine intensely as I focus more deliberately on Canada.What we talked aboutRecord skier visits; bringing back that international vibe; touring Western Canada; Sun Peaks' first season on the Ikon Pass; the secret giant; how to dodge what few liftlines the resort has; the Mountain Collective as Ikon test run; Tod Mountain in the early 1990s; ski area masterplanning; Sunshine Village; growing Sun Peaks from backwater to the second-largest ski area in Canada; Nippon Cable, the Japanese lift manufacturer that owns Sun Peaks; why Sun Peaks doesn't use Nippon lifts; why Sun Peaks changed its name from “Tod Mountain” in 1993; an interesting tidbit about Whistler ownership; whether Sun Peaks ever considered joining the Epic Pass; Sun Peaks' masterplan; potential terrain expansions; upgrade potential for Sunburst and Sundance lifts; future lift additions; “the guy who serves the most ski terrain with the fewest lifts is the most efficient”; going deep on the coming West Bowl Express quad and the new terrain that will go along with it; why Sun Peaks retired the West Bowl T-bar before replacing it; better access to Gil's; why Sun Peaks is building the lift over three summers; the amazing Burfield lift, a fixed-grip quad that stretches nearly 3,000 vertical feet; potentially shortening that lift; why Burfield will likely never be a high-speed lift; prioritizing lift projects after West Bowl; converting – not replacing – Orient from a fixed-grip quad to a high-speed quad or six-pack; village-building; the potential major lift that's not on Sun Peaks' masterplan; and potentially connecting the resort to the Trans-Canada highway by paved road from the east.Why I thought that now was a good time for this interviewIn April, Sun Peaks announced construction of a new high-speed quad in West Bowl for the 2024-25 ski season. The lift will replace the West Bowl T-bar, visible on this circa 2019 trailmap, on a longer line that pushes the boundary away from the 7 Mile Road trail:The resort will lengthen the existing trails to meet the new lift's load point down the mountain, as Alexander explains in the podcast.This will be Sun Peaks' third new chairlift in three years, following new fixed-grip quads at Crystal and Orient in 2020 and 2018, respectively. Sun Peaks approaches chairlift construction in a unique manner, with a history of building lifts as fixed-grip machines and then upgrading them to high-speed lifts later on. Orient, for example, may evolve into a high-speed six-pack that lands several hundred more feet up the mountain. Slowly, deliberately, endlessly, Sun Peaks grows and evolves.While Alexander and his team continue to stack bricks into the resort's foundation, they simultaneously grow the mountain's profile. A few years back, the resort joined the Mountain Collective. Last October, it joined Ikon. And, kaboom: no more secret at the end of the road.That's a good thing. If these BC giants are to thrive, they're going to need help outside the province, which hosts a population of approximately 5 million in an area the size of California (39 million residents), Colorado (5.8 million), and Utah (3.4 million) combined. That means bringing skiers burned out on Summit County and Wasatch liftlines across the border, where big ski resorts continue to get bigger and the liftlines rarely form (outside of the West Coast).I don't want to overstate the scale of what's happening in BC – certainly big projects still can and do happen in America. And even as they grow fat by North American standards, most of the province's biggest ski areas still look like birdbaths compared to the ski circuses of Europe. But imagine if, over the next 30 years, 480-acre Ski Cooper transformed into 5,317-acre Vail Mountain. That is essentially what's happened at Sun Peaks since 1993, where a small community bump evolved into an international destination resort 10 times its original size. And they're nowhere near finished – Sun Peaks' masterplan (pg. 141), outlines a monster facility at full build-out:The Mountain Master Plan … will ultimately include a total of 26 ski lifts, including one pulse gondola, one 10G/8C Combi lift one detachable grip six-passenger chairlift, four detachable quadruple chairlifts, nine fixed grip quadruple chairlifts, four platter lifts and approximately two beginner moving carpet lifts, with a total combined rated capacity of about 41,186 passengers per hour … The overall Phase 4 [Skier Comfortable Carrying Capacity] will be approximately 14,830 skiers per day. … there will be 225 trails providing 177.5 kilometers of skiing on [1,895 acres] of terrain.Here's a conceptual map of Sun Peaks at full build-out:While plenty of BC ski areas have evolved over the past several decades, no one has accomplished the trick more steadily or with such deliberate, constant momentum as Sun Peaks. It was time to check in to see how they'd done it, and what was going to happen next.What I got wrongAs is my habit, I introduced Sun Peaks as defined by our U.S. American measurement system of feet and acres. Which is not that unusual – this is a U.S. American-based podcast. However, as a courtesy to my Canadian guests, listeners, and readers, I should have also offered the equivalent measurements in meters. Only I am a dumb U.S. American so I don't actually know how to do these conversions. Sorry about that.Why you should ski Sun PeaksThe Ikon Pass is an incredible thing. Purchase one in the spring and spend the following winter bouncing across the snowy horizons. Hit half a dozen of the continent's greatest resorts in Utah, big-mountain hop in Colorado, spend a week in Tahoe or skimming between peaks at Big Sky. Or go to Canada – 10 Ikon destinations sit in the northland, and seven of them crouch in a neat circle straddling BC and Alberta: Norquay, Lake Louise, Sunshine, Panorama, Red, Sun Peaks, and Revelstoke:You could complete that circle in around 17 hours of driving. Which is not much if you're rolling through a two-week roadie and spending two or three days at each resort. Some of them could occupy far more time. Sun Peaks can eat up a week pretty easily. But for the resort-hoppers among us, an Ikon or Mountain Collective pass includes days at Canada's second-largest ski area on its ready-to-eat buffet. Here's a look at every Canadian ski area that participates in a U.S.-based megapass:So the first reason to ski Sun Peaks is that you probably already have access to it. But there's something else – you can just go there and ski. As much as I love the ski resorts of Colorado and Utah, they are just too easy to access for too many people. That's great, but skiing in those powder holes requires a certain patience, an expectation of some kind of madness, a willingness to tweak the algorithm to see what combination of snowfall, open terrain, day of the week, and time of day yields the most open path between you and turns.That calculus is a little easier at Sun Peaks: just show up whenever you want and start skiing. Outside of Whistler, the big-mountain resorts of BC resemble the big-mountain resorts of the American West 40 years ago. Endless labyrinths of untamed terrain, no one to race off the ropeline. BC's collective ski resorts have evolved much faster than the market's realization that there is another set of Rocky Mountain resorts stacked on top of the Rocky Mountain resorts of U.S. America. That's a lot of terrain to roam. And all you need is a passport. Go get it.Podcast NotesOn building an alternate route into Sun Peaks from the eastMost visitors to Sun Peaks are going to spend some time traveling to the resort along the Trans-Canada Highway. Eastbound travelers will simply turn north at Kamloops and then right at Heffley Creek. Westbound travelers pass within five miles of the resort's southeast edge as they drive through Chase, but must continue toward Kamloops before turning toward Sun Peaks – nearly an hour and a half on clear roads. There is a mountain road, unpaved and impassable in wintertime (marked in yellow below), and long-simmering plans for an alternate, less death-defying paved path that could be open year-round (market in blue below). Alexander and I discussed this road, and he seemed optimistic that it will, eventually, get built. Given Sun Peaks' record of actualizing the improbable, I share his outlook. Here's a map of the whole mess:On Nippon Cable and WhistlerWhile Sun Peaks presents as an independent ski area, it is in fact part of a Japan-based conglomerate called Nippon Cable. This is primarily a lift manufacturer, but Nippon also owns a number of ski areas in Japan and 25 percent of Whistler (seriously). Read more about their properties here.On Big Bam ski areaAlexander mentions Big Bam ski area, which sits along the Pine River just west of the Alaska Highway and south of Fort St. John. Here's a homemade trailmap that someone codenamed “Skier72” posted on skimap.org, with the caption, “Approx. Trails at Big Bam. Made with Google Earth. Top lift is future quad chair, bottom lift is rope tow”:Big Bam is a volunteer-run, weekends-only organization with 180 feet of vert. You can follow them on Facebook (their last Instapost was in 2014). Alexander mentioned that the ski area had moved from its original location, though I couldn't find any information on the old hill. The place has had a rough go – it re-opened (I believe in the current location), in 2009, and was closed from 2016 to 2019 before turning the lifts on again. They seem desperate for a chairlift. If anyone knows more about the Big Bam story, please let me know.On Sun Peaks spare lift fleetAlexander notes that Sun Peaks “might have the least number of lifts for a resort of our size” on the continent. Indeed, the ski area has the third-fewest number of lifts among North America's 10 largest ski areas:On the Burfield chairliftStow this one for ski club trivia night: Sun Peaks is home to what is very likely the longest fixed-grip chairlift in the world. The Burfield quad rises 2,890 vertical feet on a 9,510-foot-long line. According to Lift Blog, ride time is 21 minutes, and the carriers are 115 feet apart. The lift's hourly capacity is just 470 riders – compare that to the Crystal fixed-grip quad right beside it, which can move up to 2,400 skiers per hour.The Storm Skiing Journal and Podcast explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

Are you ready for an in-depth look at the challenges and solutions of wildlife connectivity? The Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative, or Y2Y, is working on a grand scale to connect and protect habitats from Yellowstone to the Yukon, for the benefit of both people and nature.Today, we're joined by Kelly Zenkewich, Senior Communications and Digital Engagement Manager at Y2Y. We delve into the unique challenges of both the region and the scale of Y2Y's vision.As you'll hear, even if thinking about this area conjures up images of vast open spaces, there are still numerous highways, cities, fences, railroads, ranches, farms, and other human infrastructure that fragments the landscape.We discuss the charismatic animals of the area - from grizzly bears and wolverines to caribou and pronghorn - the diverse challenges faced by these animals, and the ways Y2Y is working to conserve them. We'll also learn about the unique approach of Y2Y, which works across 5 states, and 4 Canadian provinces and territories, as well as the territories of at least 75 indigenous groups.

Story 71 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie. The summer after high school, Tony, his younger brother Chris, and I set out in an old Vauxhall held together with spit and bailing wire for points west on the Trans-Canada Highway. We camped the entire way and cooked over an open fire. Once we reached the Pacific, we headed south to the Oregon hills before turning east and eventually home and university. On the way we camped near Mount Rushmore, hoping to see the famous presidential sculptures the next morning.... narrated by Ian McCrorie 2023 4 minutes 22 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

Although Vancouver Island is known to experience some of the balmiest weather during the winter in Canada, Vancouver isn't too far behind. It's considered to be the third warmest city north of the border in the colder months.By Steve FennellRVing and staying at an RV park in Vancouver is all about experiencing one of the province's most exciting destinations. Like visiting any large city, it's ‘all about the location' and easy access to services and attractions. While there are a few comfortable campgrounds around the Greater Vancouver Area, Capilano River RV Park is at the heart of the action, while still providing comfort whether you stay for a few days, several weeks or all winter.Located in West Vancouver along the Capilano River that flows into the Burrard Inlet near the Lions Gate Bridge, the park is located about 10 minutes off the Trans-Canada Highway via Hwy 99 and Tomahawk Rd. Once in the park, the secured, gated property is supervised 24/7 and its 205 sites can accommodate a variety of RVs, including larger motorhomes and fifth wheels.You can also experience the heart of Vancouver. It's a quick drive over the Lions Gate Bridge and another 10-15 minutes to enjoy Stanley Park, English Bay Beach, Granville Island or the number of unique and trendy neighbourhood districts. The natural attractions are popular as well. West Van offers some of the city's best (and easiest) hiking trails. Plan your days visiting Cypress Falls Park with its towering 300-year-old trees and abundant wildlife or take one of the three easy loops in LightHouse Park among an old-growth forest.Feel like seeing more of the West Coast culture? The park is about 20 minutes to The BC Ferries' Horseshoe Bay Terminal from where you can sail to Snug Cove on Bowen Island with its unique cafés, pubs, and restaurants or Nanaimo with its shoreside attractions. Langdale is also popular. It's located at the south end of the famed Sunshine Coast and will provide great day - or even multi-day - trips. 1. The clean, spacious grounds of the Capilano River RV Park. 2. The secured front entrance to the park's grounds. 3. Need to relax? The hot tub is open throughout the year. 4. The heated pool is a popular area during the summer. 5. Many services and personal essentials are easily accessible from the park.

It's harvest time for farmers across the province, and time to stock up on local produce for the rest of us.

Anyone who travels the Trans Canada Highway between Clarenville and Terra Nova National Park is familiar with the messages on the hill. It's a sandy incline, where passersby stop to spell out messages with painted rocks. Earlier this month, there was a public service message there, which simply said "ignore service dogs." It was written by Jessica Quinton, a dog trainer in Bay Roberts who works with service dogs.

Terry Gainer's family arrived in Banff in 1948 when his father, Frank Gainer, was transferred there as station agent. From their arrival until 1955 the family lived in the residence atop the station itself. During those years, Terry explored every nook and cranny of the station and the surrounding grounds. From 1957 he worked summer jobs there, initially as a porter in the baggage room and then as a redcap through the summer of 1962, which was the bonanza year of the Seattle World's Fair and the opening of the Trans-Canada Highway but unfortunately also the beginning of the end of train travel to Banff. Largely influenced by his upbringing, Terry has enjoyed a career that has been an amazing fifty-year adventure in tourism. Though he retired in 2005, he has stayed involved in the industry as a marketing consultant. When Trains Ruled the Kootenays follows his previous book about railway history in the Rocky Mountains: When Trains Ruled the Rockies: My Life at the Banff Railway Station.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe killing of Tim McLean occurred on the evening of July 30, 2008. McLean, a 22-year-old Canadian man, was stabbed, beheaded, and cannibalized while riding a Greyhound Canada bus along the Trans-Canada Highway, about 30 km (19 mi) west of Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. On March 5, 2009, his killer, a 40-year-old Chinese-Canadian named Vince Li, was found not criminally responsible for murder and remanded to a high-security mental health facility in Selkirk, Manitoba, where he was detained until his release on May 8, 2015.On July 30, 2008, Tim McLean, a carnival barker, was returning home to Winnipeg after working at a fair in Edmonton. He departed Edmonton on board Greyhound bus 1170 to Winnipeg, via the Yellowhead Highway through Saskatchewan. He sat at the rear, one row ahead of the toilet. At 6:55 p.m., the bus departed from a stop in Erickson, Manitoba, with a new passenger, Vince Weiguang Li. Li, described as a tall man in his 40s, with a shaved head and sunglasses, originally sat near the front of the bus, but moved to sit next to McLean following a scheduled rest stop. McLean "barely acknowledged" Li, then fell asleep against the window pane, headphones covering his ears.According to witnesses, McLean was sleeping with his headphones on when the man sitting next to him suddenly produced a large knife and began stabbing him in the neck and chest. After the attack began, the bus driver pulled to the side of the road, and he and all the other passengers fled the vehicle. The driver and two other men made an attempt to rescue McLean, but were chased away by Li, who slashed at them from behind the locked bus doors. Li ultimately decapitated McLean and displayed his severed head to those standing outside the bus, then returned to McLean's body and began severing other parts and consuming some of McLean's flesh.At 8:30 p.m., the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in Portage la Prairie received a report of a stabbing on a Greyhound bus west of the city. They arrived to find the suspect still on board the bus, being prevented from escaping by another passenger, the bus driver, and a truck driver who had provided a crowbar and a hammer as weapons. The other passengers were huddled at the roadside, some of them crying and vomiting. As the suspect had earlier attempted to escape by driving the bus away, the driver had engaged the emergency immobiliser system, rendering the vehicle inoperable. Witnesses had observed the suspect stabbing and cutting McLean's body with a knife, and carrying McLean's severed head.By 9:00 p.m., police were in a standoff with the suspect and had summoned special negotiators and a heavily armed tactical unit. The suspect alternately paced the length of the bus and defiled the corpse. Police officers then observed Li eating parts of the body. Meanwhile, the stranded passengers were transported from the scene to be interviewed at the Brandon RCMP detachment. RCMP officers reportedly heard Li say, "I have to stay on the bus forever."On July 31, 2008, at 1:30 a.m., the suspect attempted to escape from the bus by breaking through a window. The RCMP arrested Li soon afterward. He was shot with a Taser twice, handcuffed and placed in the back of a police cruiser. Parts of the victim's body, placed in plastic bags, were retrieved from the bus, while his ear, nose and tongue were found in Li's pockets. The victim's eyes and a part of his heart were never recovered and are presumed to have been eaten by Li.Here's how and where you can find Homicide Worldwide Podcast.If you have a show suggestion? please email us at: homicideworldwidepodcast@gmail.comAnd you can always find us on twitter: https://twitter.com/HWWP10Support the show

Tonight's guest, Leigh Stevenson, has had 2 Sasquatch sightings. His 1st sighting happened when he was driving a tractor trailer on what's called the Sicamous Switch. The Sicamous Switch runs from Calgary, Alberta to Sicamous, British Columbia. The drive offers amazing, scenic views of the surrounding country and as Leigh found out, sometimes it offers perfect views of Sasquatch. Leigh had his 2nd encounter when he was driving down the Trans-Canada Highway, in the Craigellachie, Taft area. This time, he saw a female Sasquatch cross the highway in what looked to be 3 or 4 steps. Leigh says she wasn't running full-out, but she was moving pretty quickly still, nonetheless. We hope you'll tune in and listen to Leigh share his experiences, as well as an unnerving experience his brother, Mike, had.If you'd like to check out my new Bigfoot show, called "My Bigfoot Sighting," you can listen using your favorite podcast app. Here's a link to the My Bigfoot Sighting Channel on Spotify...https://open.spotify.com/show/2gomYbQG2gM6gPFakCQYNL?si=M0dm3bDfR_ShTiJcHPWoyw&dl_branch=1If you've had a Sasquatch sighting and would like to be a guest on Bigfoot Eyewitness Radio, please go to https://www.BigfootEyewitness.com and submit a report.If you've had a Sasquatch sighting and would like to be a guest on My Bigfoot Sighting, please go to https://www.MyBigfootSighting.com and let me know.If you'd like to help support the show, by buying your own Bigfoot Eyewitness t-shirt or sweatshirt, please visit the Bigfoot Eyewitness Show Store, by going to https://Dogman-Encounters.MyShopify.comThanks, as always, for listening!
