Dickie’s experience in the Muskwa-Kechika has gone from being a unique backdrop for his photography to a journey understanding where he comes from, his history as an Indigenous person, and his ancestors’ historical presence out in the land.
His interest in the region started as a kid fishing and camping in places like Muncho Lake, Toad River, and Tetsa River. It was Wayne Sawchuk’s first book that ignited Dickie’s passion for exploring the Muskwa-Kechika.
“All the photos he had within that book made me realize what was actually out there just off the highway,” says Dickie.

TORONTO If you’ve noticed gas prices on the rise, you aren’t alone: Statistics Canada says gasoline prices rose 6.5 per cent in February compared with January, marking the third month in a row of climbing prices at the pump.
Douglas Porter, chief economist at BMO Capital Markets, wrote in a research note on Wednesday that gas prices are “poised to really pop” going forward, based on a weekly reading showing pump prices up 44 per cent from a year ago.
Here are a few reasons why you may be feeling sticker shock:

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C – The granddaughter of a 102-year-old Peace Region World War II veteran, Ingvar Ludwig Nelson, is planning a parade to honour her grandfather’s service.
Brooke Nelson wanted to organize a celebration with her family, but gathering restrictions made it difficult to host an indoor party. She decided to organize a drive-by salute also to give the community a chance to honour Ingvar.
“I think it’ll be a good thing for him, his wife and the family because we[want to honour his accomplishments and time in the city]. He’s 102, and it will be a special thing for the whole family,” says Brooke.
