🧵Handy takeaways from the 2026 Climate Newsroom hosted by @coveringclimatenow.org for Canadian journalists: Day 1/3 -most Canadians alarmed by climate change -don’t have to be climate expert to cover it -localize, humanize, solutionize -be critical of solutions -NOT about “is climate change real?”

Can’t believe it’s my last Wild Revelstoke episode with morning show host Rob Singh :( But for my latest, we visit the secret lives of pikas, their knack for bouquets & the risks that climate change poses for them in the alpine 🐭 Tune into 92.5 FM Mondays @ 8:30 am 📻 stokefm.com/the-morning-...

Definitely the closest I can say a bear has come to my apartment! 😳 Always a great reminder for our community about gleaning fruit trees & securing attractants while bears are bulking up for hibernation 🧸 📍Revelstoke, B.C.

Major news - Selkirk Tangiers spent years pursuing this all-season resort with accommodation for 100 guests & 50 staff. It would’ve been among the biggest commercial developments on a 170-km stretch between Revelstoke & Mica, on the fringes of active habitat for threatened southern mountain caribou.

BC Hydro & FreshAirCinema are taking EV-powered movie screenings across British Columbia, slashing noise & emissions from diesel generators. @theenergymix.com & I explore what it takes for an EV to run a film night, and if they can power other businesses too ⚡️ www.theenergymix.com/evs-power-mo...

Amid the wildfire chaos B.C. is experiencing this summer, I recently lucked out of getting stranded in the Columbia Valley during a massive power outage without food or enough gas. I reflected on the experience & what it taught me about emergency preparedness. revelstokereview.com/2026/08/08/c...

This year has felt weird to me and I figured out why: because it doesn't feel weird. Whats happening in Summerland right now is devastating. But it's also routine. Jasper. West Kelowna. Fort Nelson. Fort McMurray. 100 Mile House. Communities are evacuated now. Every year. youtu.be/wLI3Qiv0cmU?...

Join us on August 12 for a training session on the Three Pillars approach to climate change journalism: humanize, localize, solution-ize. All journalists, especially early-career reporters, are invited!

Some notable excerpts from my interview this week with B.C. Forests Minister Ravi Parmar, right here in Revelstoke.

Awesome collaborating with @theenergymix.com again to interview Edmonton Mayor Andrew Knack as the city hosts Elbows Up for Climate, uniting hundreds of Canadian municipal leaders to push the federal government for more nation-building renewable energy projects. www.theenergymix.com/climate-inac...

I don’t usually share my day-to-day reporting from Revelstoke here, but one file I’m proud to finally publish after a few months in the pipe is a deep dive into how global warming is changing our mountain town’s snowy winters & reputation as a skier’s paradise. revelstokereview.com/2026/05/27/r...

This week, Wild Revelstoke explored wild bees & why they make quite the buzz this time of year. Critical ecosystem polinators that our communities can play a huge role supporting with native flowers, bee baths, spare soil & pesticide-free yards 🐝 92.5FM Mondays @ 8:30am stokefm.com/the-morning-...

Devastating news for such a phenomenal magazine covering the world’s wild wonders. At a time when we need in-depth environmental solutions reporting more than ever, I sincerely hope some generous funders can step up to support @biographic.bsky.social & continue its legacy.

This isn't quite the sure and sudden death we experienced at Hakai Magazine, but it's not pretty. Unless we can make up this shortfall we could be facing deep cuts to our already small team. Aka, if you have a job opening for a science news editor, let me know

I really, really hate to sharing this, but last week, we @biographic.bsky.social learned that the California Academy of Sciences will no longer be providing the magazine with financial support, including money we were expecting to receive this year. We're in a real bind.

@theenergymix.com & I looked into Vancity’s new Climate Action Plan as the credit union targets net-zero by 2040 🏦 It prioritizes decarbonizing its building investments, greening the economy by financing energy efficiency, & closing its emissions reporting gap. www.theenergymix.com/vancity-laun...

This week on Wild Revelstoke, I dove into the kitchen nightmare of fruit flies, why they accumulate & how to manage them 🪰 Fun fact: they live <50 days & have bothered us for +8,000 years! 📻 Next episode hits the airwaves on 92.5 FM @ 8:30 am Pacific time Monday, May 4 stokefm.com/the-morning-...

Getting involved this spring with @wildsight.bsky.social & its Toad Watch program as adult western toads begin crossing a busy Revelstoke road along the Columbia River to lay thousands of eggs 🐸 So far great success inputting data into Gaia GPS & helping a couple dozen toads cross safely 💚

The latest episode of Wild Revelstoke gave a hoot to owls in town, including one recently rescued by the community after being found injured on the road. Hear why these raptors are my favourite animals EVER! 🦉 Tune into 92.5 FM again 8:30 am Pacific on Monday, April 6 📻 stokefm.com/the-morning-...

Huge thanks to @coveringclimatenow.org for hosting 3 informative, resource-packed sessions for reporting on climate - exclusively for Canadian journalists! A ton of tools I have in my back pocket now for next time I take a crack at a solutions story. Great to see journos from 11 provinces join!

Do you want to contribute to conservation in a meaningful way, and happen to have a knack for photography? Wildsight is seeking photographers across the region willing to volunteer a few hours of their time. Learn more at https://wildsight.ca/volunteer-photographers?source=bs

Since its peak in 2021, global news coverage of climate change has dropped 38 percent. Here at Climate Desk, we are not looking away. Give us, and our dedicated partners, a follow for the latest climate news.

Perfect Saturday conditions for a trek up Loop Brook in Rogers Pass, to just below Bonney Glacier ❄️

This week’s episode on Wild Revelstoke! 🦫 Discussed possibly the most symbolic Canadian creature & how its dams have become increasingly valued as nature-based solutions for irrigating land & mitigating drought, flood & wildfire 🪵 Next episode: 8:30 am Pacific March 23 stokefm.com/the-morning-...

Stoked to get started next week & meet some new faces in this ever-important journo niche! Shoutout to @coveringclimatenow.org for adding these extra sessions exclusively for Canadians.

Moving to Revelstoke, I noticed how calling the RAPP line about bears stirs debate. Input from local govs & non-profits in BC shows that the message on when & how to report urban bears varies, as some communities work to manage bears themselves. My first w/ @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2026/03...

Shoutout to @tyolsen.bsky.social for working on this one with me - for bear season 2026! 🧸

Had the huge privilege of visiting this area with Amber Peters herself last October - can confirm it’s unlike anything else in the Revelstoke Valley. Still vividly remember seeing the bear rub trees & moose wallows 💚

Latest on Wild Revelstoke, I dove into the declining presence of southern mountain caribou around Revy & why it’s a critical time for safeguarding their future as environmental orgs take our federal government to court 🦌 📻 Tune in again to 92.5FM on March 9 @ 8:30am PDT stokefm.com/the-morning-...

An expert source, busy all week with media interviews for the same story, giving me kudos for being the only journalist so far to ask a less intuitive but pretty valuable question - that sure felt good 🥹

As someone who often accesses avalanche-prone backcountry in the winter - & spent many weeks in northern California growing up - I’m heartbroken by this nightmarish news & wishing these people’s families & responding SAR personnel the very best this week 🤍

Loved this line by Felix Horne: “Without expertise and experience, wildfires are reported without the underlying climate context that fuels them. Energy stories lose their climate dimension. Pollution is treated as an unfortunate accident rather than a foreseeable harm from fossil fuel dependence.”
