DSC 9266 — Hasina Hussain Zada, Blue Mountain. Photo: Allison Kennedy Davies. Twenty-seven-year-old Zada, a Blue Mountain Resort employee, is quiet but once you get her talking, she’s willing to share her story. Hasina has only been in Canada for a few years, and her arrival was hastened by the advance of the Taliban in her home country of Afghanistan. Before she left, she and her friends had discovered a love of snowboarding, a sport new to her country. If anyone understands how valuable the freedom to ride is, it’s Hasina. Check out her story here:

As a biologist with the Nature Conservancy of Canada, Batten says, “I had always thought of nature as its individual pieces, but I see it differently now. Now when I see a landscape, pictures emerge in my brain and I think, Wow, what if the Milky Way were behind it, or what if it were morning and surrounded by a mist?…. “It’s a meditative thing for me. Night photography is a time when you really get to be peaceful and calm. No one is messaging you or expecting anything from you. You can sit there with your own thoughts; you can look out at nature and be awed by it.”
