Special delivery! These bison have just found a new home. While bisons numbers have dwindled immensely in modern times, there has been an active campaign to help reintroduce bison in many of their ancient herding grounds. Parks Canada delievered 16 bison from Elk Island National Park to the remote Panther Valley in the famous Banff National Park. This video shows the entire process. It reminds me a bit of that movie from the 90s, Operation Dumbo Drop, only more majestic. You can’t help but wonder what’s going through the bisons heads as they’re being lifted off.

150 Things To Do In Canada

I'm pleased to announce my first ebook is available on Amazon Kindle. In honour of Canada's 150th Anniversary, I wanted to highlight my favourite things to do in each province and territory across Canada.

This ebook is super affordable as this is my first attempt at an ebook, and I'm hoping it will encourage people to flip through it before their summer travels across Canada. Please leave a positive review if you find it useful! I'm pulling late nights at the moment working on another ebook which is set to release before summer. Stay tuned!
