The greening of Vancouver Island Wild, lush Vancouver Island, BC, is one of Canada’s most beautiful destinations. Recently, I asked the brilliant minds at Tourism Vancouver Island for green travel inspiration there. Christina Maynard, Media Relations Coordinator, suggested many green travel sources. Here are a few: ECO-ATTRACTIONS/ACTIVITIES: Harbour Air - “The world’s largest, all-seaplane airline, Harbour Air Ltd., has pledged to become carbon neutral as of 2008.” Seacoast Expeditions - “Zodiacs are powered by e
Live The Dream In Vancouver, Canada Davina Haisell moved to from Ontario, to Vancouver in British Columbia, to live the dream. After a few years, she launched a specialist diet consultancy business. Then she realised that she was far more interested in helping people improve their lives, as opposed to focusing on diet. So Davina trained to become a professional life coach and now she’s living the dream in Vancouver and running Crimson Compass, her life coaching business, from home.

Traveling: Whidbey Island, WA (Part II) Bald Eagle, Late Afternoon : Fort Casey State Park : Coupeville, WASince I arrived in the afternoon on Thursday, I limited my explorations on the island to the town of Langley, where I was staying, and Freeland, just north of Langley. The next morning, however, I got up really early and decided to drive the entire length of the island and explore Whidbey as best I could. These are just a handful of the 120 pictures I took that day. To see more than the six or so I'm posting today, check out the

Job creation, business growth, and a link to the Pacific Gateway are cited as key reasons for wide-spread business, political and citizen support. Tourism, transpo

BC Government Funds Sooke Spirit Square at Ed MacGregor Park Ed MacGregor Park. Photo Credit: wjis on Flickr As I was driving home from Victoria this afternoon I passed by Ed MacGregor Park as I usually do, and noticed another large BC Government “we done spent some money here, looky!” sign. I thought at first it was the sign announcing their funding of the waterfront boardwalk from earlier this year, but as I whizzed by I saw in large letters “Spirit Square.” I was intrigued - what’s a spirit square? Sure enough, my trusty BC Government News RSS Feed

Skeena system - Over crowded? These numbers below show a trend on the Skeena and its tributaries, but overcrowding is not it. In fact it looks like people are leaving the area at a rapid pace and with the world economy headed towards a Global Recession, I seriously doubt there is going to be a giant spike in non-resident anglers to the system going forward. What is evident is that Sport Fishing as an industry is profitable, low impact and sustainable. Commercial fishing is NOT profitable, high impact and NOT sustainable. Re
BC government trying to keep non-Canadians from steellhead fishing in Canada. Anyone who wants to fish for steelhead on the Skeena Watershed should read what is being proposed and if you don’t agree please voice your opinion. Part of the draft that has been put together by some BC guides is to exclude non-guided fishermen from Skeena waters or put them in an 8-day lottery. The 8 days is actually only 5 or 6 days on many rivers, because non-resident aliens won’t be allowed to fish Saturday or Sunday. Go to the link read the what is being proposed, fill out the online r
Living Lohawarana Raza Rumi There was a Lahore that I grew up in, and then there is the Lahore that I live in now. Recovering from an exile status for two decades, I find myself today turning into something of a clichéd grump, hanging desperately on to the past. Yet I resist that. Writing about Lahore is a sensation that lies beyond the folklore – Jine Lahore nai wakhaya o janmia nai (The one who has not seen Lahore has never lived).

Victoria, BC: Proof Positive of the Downfall of Canadian Society If Victoria, British Columbia is an example of where Canada is headed then we are all in deep trouble. Madam Justice Carol Ross, in her infinite [lack of] wisdom, threw out a city bylaw that restricted camping in public places. Now roving gangs of young "homeless" kids, many "homeless" by choice, apparently have the right to pitch tents wherever and whenever they want. You can read more about this Kafka-like decision here . One thing in the story that is not correct is that there are enou
