I'm too poor, hungry, and impatient to wait forty minutes in line to spend ten bucks on two miniature tacos, I don't care how good they are.

Silver Islet, Ontario is a small village at the southern end of the Sibley Peninsula, which extends into Lake Superior. It has a fascinating history, and the village today, is entirely off the grid. Here is a link to information. encycl.opentopia.com/term/Silver_Islet,_Ontario I saw a documentary on this years ago. I will share a unique experience that we enjoyed here in later pictures.

I'm working on a project called Sustainable Howe Sound with the David Suzuki Foundation (sustainablehowesound.ca/).
From the website we're building... "Life in the waters of Howe Sound is rebounding after decades of harm from industrial activity. Planning for the future is the best way to protect the sound’s wildlife and communities. Sustainable Howe Sound is a platform for individuals and groups who share a commitment to protect Howe Sound. The end goal is a plan for land and marine environments guided by public and expert input.".
Our first visit was to Camp Firmcom (fircom.ca/) on Gambier Island. Check out the interview and photos! :)

Over the past few years I've taken to watching it whilst simultaneously being on a computer and taking the piss with an online community.
I really missed that this year, but the show was really bereft of characters. Power ballads have a place, but they're not Polish milkmaids!

Yes, this is the store in Silver Islet, Ontario., an off the grid village east of Thunder Bay. We were there on a Tuesday. Unfortunately, the store is closed on Tuesday, as the owners go to Thunder Bay to restock their shelves. They run their store and diner on solar and generator power. More on the store later.
