Off the Beaten Path (2015) : 8x12

Alberta is the fourth largest province in Canada, with Edmonton as its capital and Calgary as its largest city. It is one of the country’s wealthiest regions, thanks to vast oil and natural gas reserves, along with a strong cattle industry. For visitors, however, the biggest draw is the stunning Rocky Mountains. Despite the harsh natural conditions, it’s the people who make this place truly special. That’s what captured Darinka from Slovakia, who now lives here with her husband Bart, a local pastor and writer. Together, they are raising three children and supporting their community in the town of Cochrane. With Darinka, we head to Calgary for the famous Stampede rodeo, explore the beauty of the Rockies, and taste local specialties like bison steaks and even bear sausage.
