Saddle Up & Get Back In Shape
Mar 5th
With the recession finally relinquishing its grip on those purse
strings, we can all focus on our personal health rather than that of
our bank balance. According to Ranch Rider, fitness holidays are not
simply concerned with trekking and hiking into the hinterland
(although many guest ranches will offer these pursuits), as riders
can burn up to 650 calories an [...]

It is estimated that more than 2.2 million currently own property abroad and that, in the past six years, more than a million have emigrated permanently.

When British adventurer Ed Wardle fulfilled a lifetime’s ambition by being left to fend for himself for three months in wilds of Yukon, the resultant TV show on the UK’s channel 4 and National Geographic channels (backed by Twitter and live blogs) proved something of a fiasco. Wardle cracked up, nearly starved, and was brought [...]

A visit to the Siksika Nation — the Blackfoot of Alberta – is a journey that tells us much about how the “sense of place” of the Aboriginal, or First Nation, peoples of Canada.
