Summer Vacation in the Okanagan
This year Christina insisted that we use our summer vacation time to visit her "happy" vacation spot - Naramata, BC. As a good ol' Saskie boy who grew around prairie lakes the whole idea of vacationing in BC's interior seemed exotic so I gladly acquiesced. We made a quick inquiry to my brother G...

Yellowknife Work Trip
Earlier this year (in late May) I was invited by the City of Yellowknife to come talk to some local businesses and City Administration on Business Improvement Areas. With the weather unseasonably warm and the days extra long I took the opportunity to explore a bit between meetings.
