Travel Like a Local in Canmore

The long weekend season is upon us. Are you ready to travel local? My gut filled with dread as Victoria Day long weekend approached like a charging grizzly. A sequence of promising emails, potential itineraries and possible plans flowed through my inbox and mind. Each one kicked my heartbeat up a notch. What were we going to dooooo? [Insert whiney…

Know Your Neighbour: Rick Guinn, the Guy on a Buffalo

Posted on May 29, 2012 by Kristy Davison | 1 Comments

FACT: There is no such thing as evolution, only those animals Rick Guinn allows to live. Many of you will recognize this local cowboy as the owner of Boundary Ranch and the world-renowned animal tracker from Guinn Outfitters. But it may surprise you that he is also the leading man from a feature ’70s film called Buffalo Rider. In the…

Fair Trade in the Rockies?

Posted on May 10, 2012 by Camara Miller | 0 Comments

Tomorrow is World Fair Trade Day. What does that mean for us in the Bow Valley? In my quest for fair trade suppliers in the Bow Valley, I stumbled upon an article that reminded me that Canmore was actually designated a Fair Trade Community in July 2010. How did I not remember this? And did you know about it? Wolfville,…

Initiation of a Roller Derby Newbie

Posted on May 2, 2012 by Guest Contributor | 2 Comments

By Tonya Lowe Flashback to February. It’s a quiet 2 ½-hour drive. Too nervous for conversation, I look out the window and focus on breathing as the landscape flashes by. Our directions are vague – “blue arena behind the general store” - yet, rolling into the small prairie town of Springbrook, it would be impossible to miss the building. There are lots…

Finding My Range

Posted on April 25, 2012 by Chloe Vance | 1 Comments

I have Type 1 Diabetes. Since being diagnosed in 2000, I have been thinking like a pancreas and managing my own blood sugar homeostasis, constantly working to keep my levels within an acceptable range. Maintaining this balance is a full-time, around-the-clock, juggling act of food eaten, insulin administered and exercise (or lack thereof) completed. Other factors, such as hormones, stress,…

Mi Casa es Su Casa

Have you seen the new Travel Alberta commercials? They make me want to visit Alberta, and I live here. Maybe the ads have been working, because it seems a whole lot of other people want to visit, too. Forever indebted to friends, friends of friends, family of friends, strangers and couch surfer hosts around the globe, my husband and I…

Learning the Zen of Paper and Pen

Posted on February 10, 2012 by Kristy Davison | 1 Comments

Zentangle is not what you’re thinking (a bunch of Bow Valley yoga instructors playing “Twister,”right?). Nice try, though. Zentangle is a relatively new art form that is considered by its practitioners to be an “artistic meditation.” Using simple dots, lines, patterns and a little imagination, even self-declared “left-brainers” can create beautiful drawings like the one below. It’s easy to learn, highly addictive,…

The Legend of the Canmore Newbie

By Stefan Grecu “C-eh-N-eh-D-eh?” This was the “joke” I found myself tackled with at a recent gathering back in my hometown across the border in Pennsylvania. So why did you move to where again? Canmore, Alberta. Yeah, that’s right, so why did you move there? Skiing, hiking, mountain biking, the outdoors maybe? Nope,it was for love. Really? So, do you have a…
