Hopefully more information comes out about this. Never a nice day when there’s a fatal or even a negatively wildlife encounter. But they are wild animals and we can’t forget that.

People tend to overlook the danger of black bears but time and time again they are proven to have the most probability of a negative encounter. Be safe in the outdoors and be prepared.

The Ministry of Community Safety confirmed a "bear incident" Friday that resulted in the death of a 25-year-old man.

Paddle Canada Advanced Tandem Canoeing Skills Course this past week. Over 4 days we had countless highlights but potentially the best one ever was a comment said at 1730h whilst running a rapid and regrouping in an eddy together:

“I am so happy with today I could stop now and wouldn’t need to paddle a single rapid more”

Unfortunately the instructor Jimmy MacDonald was a disappointment and kept them running rapids until 1930h on the evening so they could return exhausted and fulfilled.

Drastic measures by Parks Canada to protect aquatic ecosystems…. Curious how much affect this will truly have on stopping the spread of whirling disease

Yoho and Kootenay closure for 2024...

Parks Canada made this announcement today: "To reduce the further spread of whirling disease, all waterbodies in Kootenay and Yoho national parks are closed to watercraft use and angling for the 2024 season. This is necessary to protect vulnerable fish populations and sensitive ecosystems from aquatic invasive species."

Banff National Park is not affected by this closure (yet), but this is a powerful reminder to drain, clean and dry your kayak, canoe, or paddleboard after you've been out on the water.

Expect to see a more formal notification in the next few days.
