On July 28, I got to tour Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park during a media visit, to conduct interviews and take photos of the June 21, 2025 storm damage. I have put together the video clips I took that day into a video that you can view on YouTube.... youtu.be/YSKWMyLnPBM?si…

So exciting for Ontario Parks ! Proud to say that 8,831 of those observations are mine, and I'm currently sitting in the number 7 spot for most observations at Ontario Parks!

Lest we forget. A beautiful poppy, kind of shaped like a heart, that I found in our flower garden this past summer. #lestweforget #RemembranceDay #Canada
