Rating
0.0 stars

Made up of majestic mountain peaks, sprawling prairie lands, wild boreal forests, arctic tundras, and the longest coastline in the world, Canada's natural wonders make the world's second-largest country a top destination for outdoor adventure.

Canada is comprised of 20 designated Unesco World Heritage Sites and 48 protected national parks, all with protocols in place to ensure that some of the country’s most magnificent natural wonders are preserved and the wildlife and ecosystems remain protected.

From Canada’s answer to the Swiss Alps to The Amazon of the North, these are the 12 best natural wonders found around Canada.

Artslink Residential School Artists
Rating
0.0 stars

The ArtsLink Project is funded through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of Canada to promote awareness and public education of the personal history and legacy of individual former students of the residential schools in Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba and British Columbia. It seeks to address both the truth‐telling and reconciliation fostering components of the TRC's mandate.

ArtsLink is a showcase to promote the art work and cultural practices of residential school survivors.

The ArtsLink website shares the wisdom, the stories and insights of residential school survivors from the Western Provinces who have reclaimed their identity and pride through art and culture. Each webpage includes a biography, a short video interview with the artist, samples of art work and documents, innovative arts and learning practices, and community arts projects.

Arts Link also provides an accessible, safe forum for discussion and expression of the residential school experience. Everyone is invited to share, participate and elaborate on the subject matter of Arts Link in order to refine the process of healing so that they can grow and change with insight and discovery.

Art bridges age, language, culture, economics, and promotes understanding by its transformative power. ArtsLink allows artists and website visitors to 'link' up in the educative process. Just as the artists have reconnected with their own inner creative selves and transformed their lives, by showcasing their artwork and sharing their amazing stories, other Canadians will be able to connect to the artistic journey and healing process too.

The Canada Guide
Rating
0.0 stars

Canada is the second-biggest country on earth, yet over 80 per cent of its land is uninhabited, and most Canadians live clustered in a handful of large cities close to the U.S. border. This reality stems from Canada’s unique geography, which is, all things considered, rather unfriendly to humans.

Indigenous Arts & Stories - Changes
Rating
0.0 stars

This story grew on its own in my head, all I did was write it out. I had the idea of some dialogue between Raven and Coyote, about their place in a more modern world. I've always liked reading about trickster archetypes, and Raven is my favourite. Coyote was also fascinating as a character. I was curious about how the two of them would cope with all the changes that have happened in the last couple hundred years. This short story was partially inspired by Neil Gaiman’s Sandman comics and his novel, American Gods. Overall, it turned out much better than I expected it to. Sen’klip is the Okanagan word for Coyote, and Xuuya is Haida for Raven. Thanks to Leslie Fabriz for help with language and editing.
