This year we sadly lost Natalie Gillis, an incredible photographer and Fellow of the Society whose work was featured in @CanGeo. In Natalie’s honour, @Graydio1 announces a new fund supporting emerging adventure photographers.  📷@BenPowless

Farewell to friend and colleague ⁦@CTVDarrelJanz⁩. For ⁦@HeartandStroke⁩ we’d belt out “Blue Canadian Rockies” on the banks of Lake Louise. He was an anchor and voice of reason when local news reached everyone’s home, and facts still mattered. ⁦I’ll miss him.
