Just in time for Mother’s Day, check North Shore Betty—a short film about 73-year-old Betty Birrell and her hard-charging life in southern B.C. 

The epic forests above North Vancouver are hallowed ground for mountain biking. The often harrowing North Shore trails have influenced and defined almost every aspect of the sport for decades.

This is where almost 30 years ago Betty picked up mountain biking following a career as a mountaineer and pro windsurfer. Today Betty is a role model for her son, her friends and anyone she’s met along the way. And she’s living, thriving proof that you’re never too old to send.

North Shore Betty was directed by Travis Rummel and Darcy Hennessey Turenne.

Paradise in #Ontario 🌴
A visit to a summer camp by and for the Inuit in the heart of their ancestral territory of Pingualuit, Nunavik.
CLINIC REGISTRATION NOW OPEN 🗣
The way normal people cross the Pacific Ocean in a 37-foot sailboat from Hawaii to San Francisco, explains my neighbour Joel Jacques, is to crew up the boat with six to seven sailors, set the autopilot at 90 degrees straight east, wave to your buddies on the dock, and head for North America.
"I’ve been fortunate enough to spend more than 35 summers here in the Sea to Sky Corridor and I can wholeheartedly say one of my favourite weekends of the year is coming to Squamish at the end of August— The Arc’teryx Climbing Academy."
Have you ever noticed how loss leads to renewal? The 1997 closure of Banff’s buffalo paddock is a good example. Spreading over approximately 30 hectares and surrounded by a 2.5-metre-high wire mesh fence, it held anywhere from ten to 107 captive bison during its century of operation. Conveniently located close to the town of Banff and right beside the Trans-Canada Highway, it was a favourite stopover for locals and tourists to gawk at North America’s largest land mammal from the comfort of their car. Where else in the park could you be guaranteed such a wildlife experience?
Who else got high this weekend? ☁️😉 #mountainlifer
@skifelix and @lucas_gbedard getting those summer turns in! #mountainlifer
