LAST OF THE UNTOUCHED: EAST ARM, NWT
Written for my bi-weekly column in the Red Deer Advocate. I received many in person comments about this particular article. And since it's publishing in the paper, I was asked how a family could experience the North including the East Arm of the Great Slave Lake and having another magazine ask if I could write for them.
