A Quick Weekend Trip to Prince Edward Island
Road trips are beginning to be a huge part of this blog. Unfortunately, extended travel hasn’t been on my itinerary in over a year; however, I’ve been making due with quick jaunts around Atlantic Canada & the occasional jump out west. My most recent adventure took me to Canada’s smallest province, Prince Edward Island. Known by everyone out east as PEI, this little rock packs a...

Updates from my life: Lost the award, but claiming my prize for the one I won!
I mentioned in a previous post that I Backpack Canada was up for a Saskatchewan Tourism Award of Excellence. This would be the 2nd formal tourism award my little blog had been nominated for, and I was hoping to start off the year with a winning streak. I wasn’t able to attend, but it turns out I got my butt kicked. Congrats goes out to the winners. Its refreshing to hear there are other people...

My Guide to Food in Saskatchewan
The mighty province of Saskatchewan, famously known for its boxy shape, flat lands, and its notorious habit for being spelt wrong by nearly everyone (including myself), is surprisingly full of a wide variety of food. While some of it is unique to Saskatchewan, much of the food has been accumulated and passed on from different cultures who’ve settled in the area. In turn, these recipes have...

2011 Canada Games Rocked Celebration Square
While this post may be a bit late (Blame my brothers wedding in Mexico and my consistency for procrastination), I was fortunate enough to catch almost all of the free concerts held at Celebration Square for the 2011 Canada Games. If you’re from Halifax, you may be wondering “Where’s Celebration Square”, well for reasons unbeknownst to me, the bigwigs decided to change the name...

Free Ice Skating at Halifax’s Oval
Unfortunately as winter consumes Canada, the amount of things one can partake in becomes limited to how well you deal with the cold and how many activities are available in your city. Thankfully my new home of Halifax is allowing people from all over to skate the Oval that’s been setup for the 2011 Canada Games. The Oval is located conveniantly downtown in the Commons, a short 5 block walk for...

Ice Fishing Saskatchewans Last Mountain Lake
My old man and I had been planning on getting some fishing in while I was home in Saskatchewan; however, the weather wasn’t behaving. Winds were gusting like crazy and causing the windchill to drop below -40 degrees celcius. Fortunate for me, the weather let up eventually, which gave us the opportunity to hurry out to Last Mountain Lake (Yea, so what, Saskatchewan likes irony) and drop our lines...

Tobogganing Mount Pleasant in Regina SK
It had been years since I had partook in the sport that is Tobogganing; however, that was about to change. After a few Rum & Egg Nogs with some old friends, we decided to suit up and sled the gargantuan hill that is Mount Pleasant. Mount Pleasant Park is a great place to check out during the winter or summer, as there is always something to do. Be it track & field and soccer in the summer, or...

Updates from my life: A Moustache, A Marriage, and Too Much School!
I was having a conversation with Jessica Bedford, the halifamous fashion blogger behind Haute.Halifax yesterday night about blogging. I was telling her how little I’ve had to write about as of lately. We both agreed we leave a lot of our personal lives out of our blogs and typically stick to the content. This got me thinking that maybe it’s time I try to give away a little more about me...
