Canada: Sault Ste Marie, Ontario – Bears Videotaping Cubs Fishing

Tuesday, August 6th, 2019

Someone in Sault Ste. Marie has a great sense of humor. We loved the statue of the adult bear with a camcorder on his shoulder videotaping two cubs. It’s down by the waterfront in Dr. Roberta Bondar park.

Canada: Sault Ste Marie, Ontario – Inside Group of Seven Boxcar

Tuesday, July 30th, 2019

The Group of Seven were Canadian painters who, in the early 20th century, especially enjoyed painting Canadian scenery. A few at a time, the men would live in this spartan boxcar which would get hitched to a train. They would be let off on a rail siding for a few days to paint scenery to their hearts content.
