The Story of Wood Mountain Post
Wood Mountain Post Provincial Park tells the story of Major James Walsh of the North-West Mounted Police and how he negotiated with Sioux Chief Sitting Bull who brought 5,000 followers into Canada to the Wood Mountain area after the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876.
This park features reconstructed buildings and interpretive staff to assist you in discovering this important piece of Saskatchewan history.
Great Canadian Parks #2- Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, Alta & Sask
Cypress Hills straddles the provinces of Alberta & Saskatchewan, in the heart of the Canadian prairies. It is rich in wildlife, offering a woodland refuge for the many animal & bird species found in the prairie region. Nearby Fort Walsh was established in 1875 after more than thirty Assiniboine natives were massacred by white traders, leading to the formation of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police
Great Canadian Parks #26- Ivvavik National Park, Yukon
Located on the Northern tip of the Yukon, bordered by Alaska and the Beaufort Sea, Ivvavik means a place for giving birth in recognition of the park's role as the calving ground for the Porcupine Caribou. The landscape is characterized by treeless arctic tundra, and the low, rounded British Mountains. 100 people visit this austere wilderness park every year, most to raft the wild Firth River

Wood Mountain, SK grain Elevator FIRE July 1997
The Pioneer branded elevator with an annex attached, was full of grain. Before evening in July (31st?) 1997, lightning struck the top of the elevator at least once, likely twice as two massive cracks of thunder were heard, and there was a surge in electrical power that damaged an audio tape that I was playing at the time.
The elevator started on fire, and a small hole in the side of the top, probably a window, started leaking smoke. The leg of the elevator was too small for fire fighting crews to go up it with breathing equipment in to attempt to extinguish the flames. A defensive posture was taken by the fire crews on scene, and they prevented the burning debris from catching neighbouring buildings, including a house north of the railway tracks, on fire.
Because no water was used on the elevator itself, the grain was very salvageable. The town smelled a bit like baked bread days after the fire.

Switzer Provincial Park - Gregg Lake Campground (L1)
Gregg Lake Campground in William A. Switzer Provincial Park (north of Hinton, Alberta, Canada). I am always wondering what kind of campground (or specific site) to expect when I head someplace new. Sure I can book ahead of time online (which you can do for this campground during high season), but who knows what you'll get?
I thought I would take a few quick video's of this campground to help anyone else out there who might be thinking of visiting it for the first time. I've been here many times myself.
The campground is split up into several loops. Loop A is isolated by itself and nearest the registration booth. Loops B, C, D & E are clustered together as are loops F & G. The L (or Lakeside) Loop is just over 2km away from the F& G loops and about 2.8km from the registration booth.
This campground has a nice little amphitheatre located between the E & G loops. Events occur throughout the summer.
There is a shower facility between the E & F loops and a little store in the registration booth (ice cream, little goodies, wood, ... ).
Walking trails connect this entire campground. Some are also rated for mountain bikes. Gregg lake has some good fishing; high powered boats are NOT allowed on the lake. There is also a swimming area, playgrounds (little ones in most loops and a slightly bigger one in the day use area - beside L loop).
Yes - I've got a bell on my bike. Please ignore it. And as always, my commentary is just that - my comments alone.
I hope someone out there finds this handy. I'll try and post a link to a map of the campground once I put it up somewhere.

Ultimate guide : 60 FREE must-see and must-do Canadian Rockies and Western Canada. Full list below
Hi guys,
Let’s follow us across the 60 must-see bucket list across Alberta, Canadian Rockies, Northern British Columbia, Yukon and Alaska. From the dry east Alberta curiosities, we went through the beautiful Banff and Jasper National Park and to Alaska. We challenged our legs in steep trail and met the Northern B.C big animals. Relaxed in hot springs and tasted rare dishes in Chateau Fairmont Lake Louise. Camped in exceptional spots near lake or river. Attached a personalized sign somewhere in Watson Lake’s Signpost Forest. Crossed the Alaskian border. Tested the robustness of our van onto the unpaved Top-of-the-world highway. Looked for gold in historic gold rush town. Have the chance to see the Northern Lights in Dawson City. Discovered the First Nations dances and song in Carcross. Stole sand from Carcross desert. Randomly, we met a French couple travelling like us with who we share some barbecue parties and fishing time. Please, check the bucket list below. Most of them are FREE. Comment and like the video.

Great Canadian Parks #5- Saguenay St. Marine Park, Qc
The unusual geology of this region creates a striking system of pools and waterways that create one of the world's richest feeding grounds for whales. The area is home to fin, minke, beluga, blue and sometimes even humpback or sperm whales. Learn more about belugas from scientists who study this gentle mammal in an effort to save this endangered species.
