Tree rings tell a story. This old #tree used to stand outside the Supreme Court. It was cut down last year. Its #treerings show seasons of struggle, growth, & challenge. They reveal character, perseverance, grit, & patience. And scars.🤎

In 2023 the #Canada gov and @PremierScottMoe struck a #healthcare deal for $111m in extra funding for 10 years (image 1). But, by 2025, #Sask is actually cutting health care spending (image 2) resulting in ER closures, urban and rural(image 3).

Mr. Premier, where is the $$ going? #skpoli

Two photos – 18 years apart. Still staring at rocks. My happy place.

Just spent 4 days in Hatcher Pass climbing with friends and the team. It was fantastic.

Moving slow today. Lots of reflection. Good things.

Smith Lake, known as Tr'exwghodegi Troth Yeddha' Bena' in Athabascan, yesterday afternoon. I've taken a fair number of photos in the last month, but haven't gotten around to posting any until now. I'll probably photo dump on my site Tuesday or Wednesday.
