    The Animal Bridges in Alberta, Canada are an amazing accomplishment that has saved the lives of both wildlife and humans by giving the animals a safe passage over the busy highways.

    The video is of the new Animal Bridge near Canmore, Alberta, and adds to Banff National Park having 44 wildlife crossing structures, 6 overpasses, and 38 underpasses.

    Along with these valuable crossings, there are 82 km of highway fencing protecting wildlife from the highways. With all these crossings and highway fencing, Banff National Park has the most in the world in a single location.

I remember seeing a time-lapse video someone took of wildlife crossing a log over a fast-moving river taken over a 24-hour period. It was very busy! During the day, deer, rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, and black bear, of course all crossing at different times! Then when night fell, it was still in heavy use with raccoons, opossum, fox. Walking past the log one would never know it was an animal crossing superhighway.   More ...

    The BC Ferry trip from Tsawwassen on the British Columbia mainland to Swartz Bay on Vancouver Island passes through some amazing scenery. The ferry takes you in among the Gulf Islands and has many photo opportunities. You might be fortunate enough to see whales breaching, porpoises swimming nearby, or a seal bobbing in the water close to shore. 

    I have taken many delightful trips during the warmer months and love to stand out on deck with my camera. On this trip, however, the skies were overcast and a cold wind was blowing. A few minutes outside in the blustery cold sent me back inside to enjoy the rest of the scenery from a comfy chair. 

    Meals and snacks can be purchased onboard. There is a special room on the car deck for those traveling with dogs. Anyone visiting the province of British Columbia should also try to include Vancouver Island in their places to see. This trip is truly a visual site.

    Get ready to immerse yourself in the world of aviation as we take you on a behind-the-scenes tour of one of the most iconic aviation companies.

    Buffalo Airways, based in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, has a rich history dating back to 1970. Originally founded by Joe McBryan, affectionately known as "Buffalo Joe," the airline has become synonymous with rugged northern aviation, serving remote communities and supporting various industries across Canada's North. Their most recent endeavour involved securing the government contract to assist in combating the wildfires that ravaged Yellowknife during the summer of 2023.

    As you step into the hangar, you'll be greeted by the sights and sounds of aircraft maintenance, fueling operations, and flight preparation. From vintage DC-3s to modern turboprops, Buffalo Airways boasts a diverse fleet that reflects its commitment to reliability and versatility in challenging northern conditions.

    But the hangar tour isn't just about the aircraft – it's also an opportunity to delve into the company's fascinating history and unique culture. It's a living testament to the spirit of adventure, resilience, and camaraderie that defines northern aviation.

    Whether you're a fan of Ice Pilots, a seasoned aviation enthusiast or simply curious about life in Canada's North, this behind-the-scenes tour offers a glimpse into a world unlike any other.

    NOTE: Hanger Tours are free, from Mon-Fri but, have to be booked in advance.
