Hiking the hundreds of trails in Newfoundland and Labrador will take you through unspoiled wilderness, along majestic coastlines often visited by whales, rare birds and icebergs, past coves, beaches — and even back in time. Don’t be surprised if you stumble across long forgotten fishing villages, historic lighthouses clinging to cliffsides and ancient fossil sites. The history here is as powerful as the scenery, and both are just waiting for you to walk on by.

The 16mm film looks at the relationship of two cultures in Newfoundland, one passed and one in threat of passing: the Beothuk and the Cod Fishery. Historically, fishing brought European settlers to the island and, until recently, dominated the islands economy whilst generating a folklore and distinct identity for Newfoundlanders. The right-channel of the film details the life of this changing industry. This is juxtaposed with the left-channel, which explores the extinction of the Beothuk by depicting the absence of presence at locations of importance to this culture. The piece forges a marrying and confusion between these prominent Newfoundland stories and speaks of greater issues of loss, responsibility and the legacy of culture.

Our Newfoundland dog named Odin decided to jump into the hot tub with the kids (Logan and Zack) and swim in circles. Odin is 8 months old. He loves to swim in any water he can find! Yes, it was quite a cleanup with all the hair he left in the water. I had to shock treat the water after that.
