From this bubble we inhabit, I’ve watched a world of faraway protests unfold of late — upsurges of outrage, mobbing the streets and Twitter with catchy hashtags, Hunger Games-esque police forces responding. As one protest falls, another rises up in its place. Recently, Fast Company magazine senior editor Jason Feifer vented about our citizen and … Continue reading Column: How to Develop Staying Power
The eagle has landed. The birdcount results from December tallied 66 bald eagles around Pemberton (48 adults and 18 juveniles). Dave Steers caught this one last week, against Mt Currie. (PS If it inspires you to write a poem, send it to us. Somehow, that seems a fitting response. Personally, all I can come up … Continue reading Photo of the Week: Dave Steers
An 87 year old woman, in North Vancouver, hits snooze three times on New Year's Day, before she drags her tiny derriere out of bed, and goes for her morning run.

Great tip from Pemberton's Roy McClean - this NY Times report that exercise can change your DNA.... not just your mood or your dress size. It's an interesting take on the idea that several Wellness Challenge participants reported - the more you do, to practice wellness, the easier it gets. What I LOVE about wellness … Continue reading The Science of Wellness: Exercise Can Change Your DNA

And on Thursday evening, they're opening the doors to the entire community, and hosting a Coffee House night, for real, (with Mount Currie Coffee … Continue reading Event: Coffee House Fundraiser for PSS Library, Thurs Jan 15, 6pm

I’ve interviewed “the Godfather of Freeskiing”, Mike Douglas, a couple of times and we’ve collaborated on enough Whistler Blackcomb projects that I mostly forget what a legend he is. Around Whistler, everyone has high watermark moment in their resume. I’m more interested in the way people practice the art of reinvention than their endless recollections … Continue reading Column: May Your Year Be Gloriously Ordinary
