we can crush some hills, we can crush cancer.2. What impact has cancer had on you and/or your family? My aunt passed away from breast cancer in December 2013. She was one of my favourite people. She was a strong woman who loved and enjoyed life. She lost her battle after four years. I miss her a lot and I want to honour her.

Another Successful Year at the Wildlife Refuge As 2011 draws to a close, I can reflect on what a successful year it has been at the Grouse Mountain Refuge for Endangered Wildlife.  After a long 2011/2010 hibernation (the longest on record at 5 months!), Grinder and Coola were happy to get out into their habitats in early May this year.  Last winter's unprecedented snowfall left a huge amount for

I had no time to be scared and my thoughts were flooded with pure amaze and my body with adrenaline. It was by far the greatest views I have ever seen, I could not stop smiling and was in awe for several minutes after landing.
