It’s my last day with Parks Canada as I am officially retired tomorrow. I’d like to say that my retirement will make space for an Inuk to take my place but my position dies with my departure and once again Arctic Bay has no permanent Parks Canada presence. #ParksCanada

Kootenay: The Park Built for a Highway

Kootenay National Park has a unique origin. It was created in 1920 when BC gave land to the federal government in exchange for building the Banff-Windermere Highway. This 'highway for land' deal resulted in a park that protects a significant corridor of the Rockies, including the famous hot springs and Marble Canyon. #Canada #Kootenay #CanadianHistory #ParksCanada 🇨🇦

Working on improving my #MilkyWay processing. And learning the ins and outs of #darktable. Still lots to learn on both fronts!

This shot from Sandy Pond 23rd August at #ParksCanada #TerraNovaNP - a #DarkSkyPreserve

Skies were pretty dark but some #LightPollution is visible over the distant hill, from a small town outside the park.

Cape Breton: Where Mountains Meet Sea

The Cabot Trail winds through Cape Breton Highlands, but its magic is where mountain meets sea. The park is a rare blend of ecosystems where Acadian, Boreal, and Taiga forests coexist on steep cliffs plunging into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. This dramatic landscape creates a unique habitat for moose, bald eagles, and the elusive Canada lynx. #Canada #CapeBreton #NovaScotia #ParksCanada 🇨🇦

Not just a #hike, but an epic adventure that put her romance to the test, is what Katerina got when she and her fellow embarked on a #VancouverIsland day hike from #Bamfield, along the Cape Beale Lighthouse Trail. https://roamancing.com/2025/08/cape-beale-lighthouse-trail-vancouver-island-hike-from-bamfield-bc/

Parks Canada under fire over Trump-backing musician’s Halifax concert
Residents of a Halifax neighbourhood say they're shocked that a rising star in the MAGA movement is set to perform at a nearby Parks Canada site.

They do this super fun activity in my town where they gather up as many #canoe and #kayak paddlers as possible into the world's tallest #liftlock. Its a very simple concept, but also a lot of fun to watch; hundreds of people packed like sardines into a #water elevator for boats having a little party together.

I hate posting things that identify exactly where I live but in the era of Rainbolt I suppose that ship has sailed.

Midnight at the oasis. Well 11:30 pm at Sinaasiurvik. #nunavut #Arctic #ParksCanada

We finished the cabin at Sinaasiurvik, Sirmilik National Park in half the time. And flew out a week early. Myself and one of the bear monitors were the last to leave. Just after the second last flight left the weather went down, low ceiling, wind, rain and fog. We thought we would be stuck there for a while. But it cleared enough for it to come and get us. #Nunavut #Arctic #ParksCanada.

With the Canada Strong Pass providing free admission and discounted camping to #ParksCanada sites for everyone until September 2nd, 2025. Plus free and discounted museum and VIA Rail Travel for youth and young adults, it is an excellent summer to explore #Canada, particularly for families and young adults.
