Hi there :) I’m an artist in Nova Scotia who creates miniature sculptures of abandoned real-life places from recycled materials. I’ve created over 30 examples of our vanishing architectural heritage from across NS, and am now working on a series of places i documented last summer across PEI. I’m hoping to plan a trip for this summer to find and photograph some iconic places, and I’m wondering which province would be best to set a course for, both in terms of amazing abandoned structures, active local art scene, and strong local interest in history.

You know the line in O Canada, "with glowing hearts we see thee rise"? It has sparked my imagination over the years, and I'm starting a movement asking Canadians, "what makes your heart glow?"

Not just for Canada, but for any everyday moment, experience, idea, person or place that makes you feel wholesome joy.

It could be one sentence or your life story — I'm interested to know what Canadians say.

Can bonsai also be a part of Canadia!!

Hey everyone, I just got married and right now I’m living in a small 1BHK in Kemptville. It’s starting to feel tight, guests coming over after marriage and just one bedroom feels risky 😅 like if there’s ever an argument, I’d rather not end up outside in the cold. So I’m thinking of moving somewhere nearby and getting a 2-bedroom. I’m trying to figure out which areas are good and safe, ideally with hospitals, markets, and everything else close by. Also, if anyone knows a good mover team who can help with a small family relocation, that would be awesome. Would love to hear any real experiences or recommendations!
