It is with a great deal of honour and humility that I find myself elected to be a Royal Canadian Geographical Society ‘Fellow’.  I accepted this award at the annual Fellows Dinner in Ottawa on November 16, 2017 at the Canadian Museum of History Totem Hall. I have been recognized for my contribution as an educator, presenter and nature photographer. I am deeply grateful to RCGS CEO John Geiger for nominating me and to One Ocean Expeditions for giving me the opportunity to share my obsession with Sable Island with a larger audience.
