Churchill, Manitoba is known the world over as the Polar Bear Capital of the World, and for good reason. Every fall, a robust population of the great white bears gathers near the community.

Bucket Listed: Preserving the world’s most memorable cocktail |
|
Let’s discuss your most memorable drink. Perhaps it was expensive Dom Perignon toasted on your wedding day? Maybe a shot of soju procured in a dark Korean tavern? Was it the peaty single malt that made your tongue grow hair in Scotland or that perfect mint-infused mojito in Cuba? A Pisco Sour, a Singapore Sling? Bellinis in Italy, screech in St. John’s, caipirinhas in Brazil, absinthe in Scandinavia … any bucket list of global cocktails travels long and far, but all roads lead to the Sourdough Saloon in Dawson City, Yukon’s Downtown Hotel. Here you’ll find a cocktail that forgoes olives, ice, citrus, mixers, and umbrella sticks. Welcome to the home of the world’s most memorable cocktail, and the only drink served with a severed human toe. Nothing is shaken or stirred, except the drinker.

| At 9:20 a.m. on a balmy summer’s day, I’m standing inside Norm Betts’ boat shop on the Miramichi River in Doaktown, New Brunswick. Sweat is rolling off my brow, but it’s not due to the weather. I’m about to bend a piece of wood over a “form” (also called a mold) of a 16-foot Chestnut Prospector canoe. This is just one of 40 cedar ribs that will create the basic framework of a canoe. I’m nervous as can be. The rib’s been steamed, but what if it cracks? As if by magic, the rib complies, bends easily over the form, and is secured to gunnels on each side. By the end of my first day with Norm, not only are the ribs in place, but more than half are covered in cedar strips. I stand gazing in awe at what’s going to be my new canoe. Inwardly I christen her Bella and know she will be beautiful.
