By: Lisa Roper Pictures by: Lisa Roper  The winter months can be dark and cold in Alberta, but I spend countless days looking for fish on frozen water. Whether it’s early, mid- or late season ice fishing, there’s nothing quite like the adrenaline rush of using just the right lures, bait, and techniques to land my aquatic quarry.  Just east of Edmonton, lies several ice-fishing lakes, well-known among anglers. To name a few: Lac La Biche, Touchwood, Blackett, Pinehurst, Little …

But when Les and Sarah Parsons came to town, they saw a way to turn the solitary pursuit into a community building project. For Les, it was an extension of the mission he’s lived most of his life: growing the Alberta …

Jeremy Derksen for #SkiNorthAB Although you can still see the town of Lac La Biche in the distance if you squint carefully, Sir Winston Churchill Provincial Park is separated from the town’s daily bustle – if you can call it that. And that is the key to its appeal: once you cross the bridge to the island, you are disconnected both literally and figuratively. No traffic, few if any people, and absolute quiet. It’s the perfect place to discover – …
