On Our Way

By

I hate the day before leaving on a trip. There’s always so much to do. (I don’t know how many times I wished I hadn’t procrastinated on things I could have done days ago!)

After a day of feeling like the headless chicken, we are finally ready.

  • Bags are packed.
  • Up at the crack of stupid (why did I book an early morning flight?)
  • dragged son #3 out of bed to drive us to the airport
  • checked in for flight
  • Tim Hortons for breakfast at the airport
  • relaxing at the gate


All in all a good start to what will be an amazing two weeks in Vancouver Island.

Over the 31 days, I covered all kinds of things from the Northern Lights in the Yukon to maple syrup and hockey. I talked about the weather (because Canadians love to talk about the weather!), must-see spots, Indigenous Peoples, and even shared the story of Canadian hero Terry Fox.

It definitely wasn’t always easy to write every day, but I learned a lot—about Canada and about myself. What really stuck with me? That Canada isn’t just one story. It’s many. It’s made up of Indigenous histories and immigrant journeys, big cities and quiet towns, snowy days and sunny ones. It’s...

Canada is often hailed as one of the most multicultural countries on Earth. But how did we get here? Canada’s multiculturalism didn’t happen overnight. It is the result of centuries of migration, evolving immigration laws, shifting societal values, and a deliberate commitment to building an inclusive national identity. Here’s how Canada became a country where diversity isn’t just tolerated - it’s celebrated. A Country of Immigrants from the Beginning Before we talk about multiculturalism, it’s important to recognize that Canada is Indigenous land first and foremost . Long before European settlers arrived, First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples lived, traded, and governed on this land. When European colonization began in the 16th century, primarily with the Frenc...
