We explore the shadows of #CanadianHistory in Jacqueline Louie's 1st #Roamancing article and the Chinese Canadian Museum's inaugural exhibition in #Vancouver, BC. The #PaperTrail shares the stories of #ChineseCanadians from the #ChineseExclusionAct where Jacqueline discovers her own family's history.

Recently I received an honour that brought me to tears, that of #TMACtravel’s 2023 #Volunteer of the Year. I cannot express enough the impact of this award on me, from what was a difficult year for me with health, stress & bullying, making this award so very appreciated and valued. My thanks to Paul Knowles for his kind words & to my fellow TMAC Awards Committee members from 2021 - 2024 who have been working to implement positive change with me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zsy7b3y2Lg

#Thankful #honoured

Fascinating day exploring The Beaches off Central Newfoundland’s Hare Bay, learning about the history of the #MaritimeArchaic, #Dorset and #Beothuck on this #archaeological site from Hare Bay Adventures’ Duane Collins. Many artifacts on this important larchaeological site on #Newfoundland are being washed away due to #ShorelineErosion and #ClimateChange.

2023 was a challenging year for me, but also a year that I did a lot of good, instilling #PositiveChange, more #inclusivity & created a number of things I'm very proud of. As such it feels incredibly good to be acknowledged by my colleagues at #TMACtravel, as a finalist for #Volunteer of the Year.

Best of all, I'm in good company with Diane Selkirk as a fellow finalist, who I've worked alongside, making for a more #inclusive, #equitable & #ForwardActing TMAC Awards.

This is what happens when you spend time with Liz Campbell, random men that you meet #kiss you, without you realizing it!

You can see why I am hoping she will be my #TMAC2024 roommate!

Sharing the thoughtful feedback from the judges on our second place win for the 2022 Nathan Fong Memorial Award hosted by the Travel Media Association of Canada BC Chapter. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/qxZRp6qswOE

This award means a lot to us, both in what it stands for in celebrating stories of the contributions of Canadians of asian ancestry to Canada, and in having created it with people we love - Manami (Saito) and Maya Calvo.

Picked up this beautiful British Columbia Magazine this week for dreaming and scheming on future #RoadTrips! Best of all it has a #RoadTrip designed by Diane Selkirk!

So this happened tonight!! So proud of Manami Calvo & Maya! In our #Planning4Summer, we are working on another Japanese Canadian history project with crafting some AR art installations together around Manami & Maya’s family history from WWII.

A huge thank you to the Travel Media Association of Canada and TMAC BC for hosting these awards to celebrate Canadian travel media and the stories we share. It is very much appreciated!

Beginning my #Planning4Summer by taking a moment to celebrate our #TMACtravel awards nomination for #Roamancing's #CultureTravels #Podcast: https://www.travelmedia.ca/news-item/tmac-announces-award-finalists

Best part of this nomination is that it's for the Nathan Fong Award & our episode on #JapaneseCanadian culture created with a fave young people, Miss Maya & 1 of my greatest friends, Manami Calvo. Maya did all the planning on what we were making on the episode - pumpkin mochi.

Here's the episode in question: https://roamancing.com/2022/04/making-mochi-and-exploring-japanese-canadian-culture/
