It's devastating to think our beloved Jasper is burning.

Grateful that my group and I were able to evacuate safely late Monday evening. Fortunately I had enough time to warn most of my guests while we were still on evacuation alert. But then suddenly it went to an evacuation order. My group moved fast and worked as a team, but sadly some left their luggage behind.

Understandably, it took awhile to get out of the town (see photo), but once on the highway cars moved. Sad to see many stranded on both sides of the road, with no where to go.

We are thinking of and praying for all our friends in Jasper.

Glaciers are no place for a walk in the park!

Walking on the Athabasca Glacier is not safe. The ice at the toe of the glacier is hollow and is collapsing. The underlying water is extremely cold and fast moving.

Over the years several people have died from falling into crevasses. These ice cold cracks in the ice are hidden below a thin covering of snow that may collapse under a person’s weight.

Only travel on the glacier in a guided party or if you have the necessary experience, skills and equipment needed to travel safety.

Here in the 'très charmant' City of Quebec for company training & collaboration labs with one of the companies I'll be working for again this season.

Quebec City is Canada's 2nd oldest settlement after Port Royal (Acadia), present day Nova Scotia. In 1608, French Explorer Samuel de Champlain built a fortress here, and it became the capital of 'New France.'

In 1985 the city was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site as a "coherent and well-preserved urban ensemble, the Historic District of Old Québec is an exceptional example of a fortified colonial town and by far the most complete north of Mexico."

Many tour operators run escorted tours through Eastern Canada, which includes Québec. And/or you can also visit Atlantic Canada aka the 'Canadian Maritimes.' What are you waiting for? Book now!

My hope is to be one day leading tours in the eastern and Atlantic parts of my country.

I'm the meantime, here are a few night shots of Quebec City's 'upper (old) town' and surrounding scenic stops and villages, including Montmorency Falls. Feel free to share!

This was a really sad headline to read back at the beginning of February. I hope for our partner wineries' sakes, something of a season can be salvaged.
