On the trail of polar bears in Manitoba
12/05/2019 .
A lone polar bear plods towards us. He’s one of a thousand or so bears populating the western shore of the Hudson Bay in Manitoba, Canada.
Whale watching in New Brunswick
28/08/2018 .
My whale-watching skipper went by the name of Mackie Greene. The expectation of a ‘Quint’ look alike (Robert Shaw’s boat captain from Jaws) quickly evaporated when he met me at the wharf on Campobello Island.
Night Photography at Hopewell Rocks, New Brunswick
15/01/2018 .
An enjoyable day of photography doesn’t have to end when night descends. While in New Brunswick I joined Kevin Snair, a professional photographer and interpretive guide for a session of night photography in Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park.
Just for Laughs Festival. Montreal
22/08/2016 .
Canadians are not particularly known for their sense of humour so I was a little sceptical when I heard about the Just for Laughs Festival, particularly as it’s held in, Quebec, where they all speak French.
Sonora Resort in British Columbia
02/12/2015 .
There’s always something exciting about climbing aboard a seaplane, especially when you’re on the way to the back of beyond. Sonora Resort in British Columbia is located east of Vancouver Island, near the town of Campbell River, and the only way to get to it is by boat, helicopter or plane.
The Canadian. A great train Journey of the World
17/07/2015 .
The Canadian is one of the most spectacular train journeys in the world: 4,467km (2,792-mile) across Canada. Four nights, three days gazing at dense boreal forests, magnificent plains and the legendary Canadian Rockies. The steel train crosses over five Canadian states and four time zones.
Quebec City travel guide
11/02/2015 .
As plains go they were pretty plain. Just a moderate parkland space in the middle of our Quebec City travel guide, with a few hills and trees. But their value in terms of historical significance was immense, because these plains hosted the battle that shaped the whole of north America as we know it today.
Bay of Fundy – A natural Wonder of the World.
02/01/2014 .
It is early morning and I am looking down at possibly one of the natural wonders of the world. It’s official. The Bay of Fundy, on Canada’s eastern seaboard between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, made it to the shortlist as one of the new Seven Natural Wonders of the World.
The Montreal Highlights Festival

Alain Simard is something of a legend in Montreal. After all, anyone who can bully the government into putting on free outdoor festivals must be a little bit special. But sitting next to me nursing a hangover and sipping a cup of take away soup, he seemed very unlegendary like.
