kootenays

Gabe Rosescu had driven on the highway numerous times and was used to driving in all types of weather. But the day Gabe took his then new partner of six months, Sheri Niemegeers, on an epic road trip to see his friends, he could never have planned for what was about to occur. It’s not every day you see a tree crossing the road in front of you. Thanks to four motorists who risked their own lives, Sheri and Gabe are here to tell their story.

We also speak to Mary Ann Adams, OnStar Member disaster response leader, about how to look for signs that the road ahead could become hazardous; what to do if you find yourself on a flooded roadway, in a mudslide or in a snowstorm; and what equipment you should keep in your vehicle.

Zoe is the owner of Zoe's Bakery and Cafe in Ucluelet B.C.  She is a master baker, pasty chef and environmental steward. Zoe and I talk about a lot of different things including the following; her journey to becoming a baker, composting, picking up trash on remote beaches with Surfrider to getting through the Covid era with her mental health intact. Zoe is an exceptional human being and it was a pleasure to gain a little more insight into her life story.
