BARBOUR, JUSTIN visits us from the rocky and rugged, yet mysteriously beautiful province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The K-12 Physical Education and Biology teacher, along with his Cape Shore Water Dog, Saku, have travelled over 2000 km within the wilderness of Newfoundland and the Labrador Peninsula over the last 21 months. Barbour by foot, snowshoe, raft and canoe and Saku by paw. In spring/summer 2017 it was 700 km across the “Rock” and this past summer/fall it was 1000 km across the “Big Land” and into Northern Quebec. Justin has an insatiable love of challenging remote expeditions and genuine fascination with the natural world. His trips have been heavily documented by video, photography and journaling. “I want to spread my passion and appreciation for the outdoors and life, to the rest of the world”.
