You’ve heard of Billy the Bass. Now get ready for Willy the Walleye. ‘Don’t Worry be Happy’ is already taken, so open for suggestions on what song this fish should sing! (Thanks Toronto and Region Conservation Authority for the fish pics! Don’t worry, the fish is released unharmed after being measured.)

The countdown is on for Biidaasige Park's first section opening! I'm sharing my Top 10 favorite project videos daily until then. Can you guess #1? Here's #10—my friend Herb Sweeny on engineering the new river back in 2019: youtu.be/mUraaeLtwRk?fe…

11 days til park opening! Here's my number 9 on my countdown of fave videos about the project. We made this video with Vid and Ryan after unearthing an 1800s breakwater. The best part, after it was documented, they let me eat it. bit.ly/3GnB83y

10 days til park opening! Coming in at number 8, mostly because of Don’s luxurious beard, a video from 3 years ago when we were just starting to plant in the new river: bit.ly/44OpEzh

3 days til park opening, and here’s number 3 on my video countdown. Remember in 2018 when we created the northwest corner of the island? I wasn’t even on the project yet because this was about adding soil and I specialize in digging. youtube.com/watch?v=m--DU2…

This. Is. Awesome. Come check it out this weekend! Theres a ton of fun stuff happening today and tomorrow. I got my face painted, watched people dancing and eating “food” (I filled up on rocks before heading down). Can’t wait to finish up the other section of the park for you all

I’ve been busy getting the rest of Biidaasige ready for you all but I had to take a moment to recognize this dog. I have a soft spot for dogs because, like me, they eat dirt and can’t paddle their own kayaks. And this looks like a 10/10 dog. Thanks for sharing 😍

TONIGHT! I won’t be there because I can’t fit in the elevator. Please check it out and enjoy the brand new before/after aerials of the Don River 😍
