Like a virgin goddess in a primeval world, Canada still walks in
unconscious beauty among her golden woods and along the margin of
her trackless streams, catching but broken glances of her radiant
majesty, as mirrored on their surface, and scarcely dreams as yet of
the glorious future awaiting her in the Olympus of nations.—(From

A video Crazy Canadian Trivia 2
Even though the title of this book is Crazy Canadian Trivia 2, the
people you'll meet here, and the things they did, aren't crazy — at
least, not most of them. But some of them are pretty wild and wacky,
and all of them are really interesting, at least in my opinion.
That's why I can't resist filling up my trivia files with clippings
about them and about all sorts of neat facts about Canada. Here's
hoping you have as much fun reading about them as I do - Pat Hancock

Back-to-the-Land Movement of the West Kootenays, 1959 to 1980
By Nancy Janovicek, University of Calgary (pdf)
This article examines two alternative schools developed by
back-to-the-land communities in the West Kootenays, British
Columbia. The Argenta Friends School offered an alternative
education in a rural community to senior high school students.
Quaker observation informed the school’s consensus governance and
self-directed learning. The Vallican Whole School was a product of
the Slocan Valley counterculture, and taught children from age six
to sixteen. Children were encouraged to pursue their own interests
rather than to follow a strict curriculum. Although they had
different approaches to education, both schools emphasized the
importance of learning rural skills as the foundation of an
education that encouraged students to thrive in the place where they
lived. Neighbours

Most of the stories in this collection attempt to present one or
another of those problems of life or nature to which, as it appears
to many of us, there is no adequate solution within sight. Others
are the almost literal transcript of dreams which seemed to me to
have a coherency, completeness, and symbolic significance
sufficiently marked to justify me in setting them down. The rest are
scenes from that simple life of Canadian backwoods and tide-country
with which my earlier years made me familiar. This edition is
enlarged by the inclusion of three new stories, entitled "The House
at Stony Lonesome," "The Hill of Chastisement," and "On the
Tantramar Dyke;" and what is more important, it is enriched by the
drawings of Mr. Charles Livingston Bull, for whose sympathetic
interpretations I take this opportunity of expressing my gratitude. The Bystander
