Parks Canada goes beyond the traditional winter experience

Monday, January 09, 2012

 This winter, visitors to Canada’s first national park can go beyond the traditional snowshoeing and cross-country skiing experience by participating in SnowDays. From January 14 to February 12, a variety of Parks Canada programs and activities will be offered – all free with the park or national historic site admission fee.

These new opportunities allow visitors to learn about, experience, and enjoy the spirit, wonder and awe of their national park in a snowy mountain wonderland. Activities include winter walking, “Learn- to” programs, geocaching, live theatre, bear talks, warden fireside performances, photography workshops, and live military firing demonstrations by the Halifax Citadel National Historic Site.

Two new sweet videos added to our website!

Thursday, September 22, 2011

The Endangered Creeks Expedition documents a West Kootenay based collective of whitewater paddlers raising concerns over the invasion of private hydro-electric projects through the province of British Columbia. The ECE attempts to reveal the true cost of "run of the river" hydro development by exploring both threatened and developed waterways. Taking the viewer on an action packed whirlwind tour, the ECE features local and professional boaters paddling some of the best whitewater BC has to offer.

This other video was filmed by Jon Rawlinson. He is a filmmaker, cinematographer and editor based in Vancouver. Jon specializes in travel, documentary and corporate video production.
