In this issue, writer John Lorinc explores how Ontario is becoming the country’s shining example as the first province to boost solar power. In the West, Katherine Gordon follows the controversy surrounding the settlement of Canada’s first urban treaty with the Tsawwassen First Nation. Dive under the sea with oceanographers Annie Mercier and Francois Hamel as they explore the quirky creatures deep under the Atlantic, and see what’s happened to the by-gone hippies of New Brunswick’s Fundy Hills in our April edition of Canadian Geographic.
