Some photos from Okîsikow (Angel) Way Day in Edmonton on June 14, as well as my article in Alberta Native News. Okîsikow (Angel) Way is 101A Avenue between 96 and 97 Streets to raise awareness of victims of gender-based violence.

If you're in Little Italy in the McCauley neighbourhood, @paperbirchbooks is a must-visit. Not only do they have an incredible selection of books, but they also carry items from local writers, including songwriters, including me! You can find my new CD "Corners" on the shelf. They also still have copies of "The Crow."

The last of a set of interviews I did this past summer at the Edmonton Folk Music Festival. Debashish Bhattacharya was very interesting to speak with - and to watch perform. I took the photo too.

When I was assigned to write an article about the increasing number of roundabouts in St. Albert, I did not realize how polarizing this issue was. The article was recently published in T8N Magazine.
