6. Grey Owl Cabin Prince Albert
Grey Owl was the name British-born Archibald Belaney chose for himself when he took on a fraudulent First Nations identity as an adult. While he achieved fame as a conservationist during his life, after his death the revelation of his non-Native origins and other autobiographical fabrications negatively affected his reputation. Born in England and migrating to Canada in the first decade of the 20th century, Belaney rose to prominence as a notable author, lecturer, and one of the most effective apostles of the wilderness. In his studies of the Ojibwe, Belaney learned some native harvesting techniques and trapping skills. The pivotal moment of departure for his early conservation work was when he began his relationship with a young Iroquois woman named Gertrude Bernard, who assisted in his t...

Welcome to Saskatchewan!

Often known as an incredibly flat province, nothing could be further from the truth. With lush boreal forests and pristine lakes in the North to prairie landscapes and badlands in the South, Saskatchewan is the perfect place for outdoor lovers to explore.

We drove a pontoon boat around Lake Waskesiu, learned about the province's first nations at Wanuskewin Heritage Centre, and went for a float in Canada's version of the dead sea. We also toured the RCMP Heritage Centre, witnessed the RCMP sunset ceremony, climbed a massive sand dune, and hiked through one of the few remaining natural grasslands in North America. We packed a lot of adventures into our short visit and can't wait to return one day and explore the province further.

We explored Saskatchewan from July 27th - August 8th, 2017!

Canada's Road to 150 is a 150-day Canada-wide multi-media road trip celebrating Canada's 150th birthday by exploring the uniqueness of this country provincially and collectively while answering the question; What makes Canada special?

We will drive to and through every driveable province and territory, showcasing Canada's natural beauty and regional attractions while interviewing Canadians of all cultures and backgrounds, including local celebrities, immigrants, refugees, and everyday rural and urban Canadians. Our aim is to dig deep into what makes Canada such an incredibly inspiring country while showing off the best of Canada's tourism to Canadians and to the world.

Prince Albert National Park: Why It Is A Jewel In The Wild

It wasn’t long into my visit to Prince Albert National Park before I discovered what I loved most. Though, it wasn’t something singular. It came with a mix of some of the best wildlife sightings in unexpected spots (read on), the remoteness (no big nearby towns) and spectacular beauty (this is lake country). The park is located about 2.5 hours north of Saskatoon, an area where the landscape is flat and open- it’s the plains – but still manages to surprise. For instance, seemingly out of nowhere, as you get closer to Prince Albert National Park, leafy trees come into focus and you enter a boreal forest. The towering white and black spruce, jack pine and aspen trees are only the beginning. The park is also dotted with lakes of all sizes. The largest are Crean Lake, Kingsmere Lake and Waskesiu Lake. Best of all, there are plenty of chances to spot wildlife, here, including bears, moose, fox, bison, otters, elk and dear. The park is also home to nearly 200 species of birds, so don’t forget to look up.

In this video, we show you 4 experiences you don’t want to miss, including learning to fish, hiking, water sports and an evening cruise.

Saskatoon to Emma Lake in Three Minutes

An iPod time lapse of our Saskatchewan Day drive from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to Emma Lake, Saskatchewan. Nothing special, but the change in landscape from the start to finish is of interest. Another hour north and it would be trees on each side of the highway. Saskatchewan is more than half forest, not just flat prairie. Now you know. :) Thanks for watching.
