The Love Of The Chase: Jenny and Shannon
Canadian Love Map
10/05/23 • 37 min
Across Canada is a special group of women connected by one thing: a fearless curiosity about severe weather, and a passion to diversify the face of weather and science. They are a courageous community called Girls Who Chase. Their goal? To inspire, empower and equip girls and women to pursue storms, the sciences, and their passions.
Jenny Hagan is the Girls Who Chase Canada Chapter Lead and an award-winning photographer. When a plow wind sent her flying in a tent at age 7, Jenny's curiosity for weather and storms was ignited. By age 12 she was determined to become a storm chaser, despite only having fictional characters to look up to. Since then, she has embarked on a journey of self-education, delving deep into the realms of forecasting and meteorology. Today, she passionately pursues storms across North America.
Shannon is a landscape photographer from Manitoba. She became fascinated with storm chasing after having some intense dreams about tornados when she was younger. After seeing her first tornado in real life in 2007, she bought a DSLR and committed to getting the perfect shot of lightning. Now, her photos of lightning strikes and auroras impress anyone who finds them, including Jenny. Shannon and Jenny eventually connected and became friends, mentors, and partners in storm chasing.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation all about the love behind storm chasing. Jenny and Shannon discuss the human element of storm chasing, the goal of spreading information and awareness to the public, and what motivates them to venture where most people don't: into the storm.

No Corners Cut: Julia Rivard Dexter
Canadian Love Map
03/21/24 • 38 min
Today's story comes from Julia Rivard Dexter of Loon Lake, Nova Scotia.
Like many children, Julia struggled with reading. This would become a source of strife and insecurity for the young girl, until she found her fit in competitive canoe kayaking. In the world of sports Julia excelled. Her dedication and commitment would lead her to the top of her game, and eventually, the Olympics in 2000.
After the games, it was time for a new challenge, so Julia threw herself into entrepreneurship. At the time, her son Max started to have his own struggles with reading. Not wanting Max to feel the same insecurity she had felt in school, Julia would go to found and launch Squiggle Park, a learning platform that gamifies literacy education. The goal at first was simple: find a better way for her own son to learn how to read. The impact, however, became much larger than that.
This fresh, fun approach to learning was embraced by students and teachers alike, and since launching in October 2016, Squiggle Park has grown to be used in over 12,000 schools.

Flying the Coop: Awele Oye-Onwuka
Canadian Love Map
04/04/24 • 40 min
Today's story belongs to Awele Oye-Onwuka from Lagos, Nigeria (and from Antigonish, Nova Scotia).
Like many young people in Canada today, Awele is an international student hailing from the lively, busy city of Lagos, Nigeria. Awele loved growing up in Nigeria, having extremely close relationships to family and neighbours alike. That said, even as a young girl Awele planned on travelling abroad for her studies.
Her original plan was to study in France, and if not France, then somewhere else in Europe. It was at her parents' urging that she began to research alternate destinations for study, which eventually led Awele to discover a small university in the quiet town of Antigonish, Nova Scotia.
Taking a huge leap of faith, Awele chose St. Francis Xavier University, and a few short years later, has now found herself loving the school and town that she has come to call her own. Now, she shares her excitement and love for St. FX to prospective students, inspiring them with her story of courage, curiosity, and compassion.

Seasons Greetings From The McMasters: Steve and Alyssa
Canadian Love Map
12/07/23 • 43 min
This love story is straight out of a Holiday Rom-Com. It all started at a party when Alyssa spotted a Christmas card featuring a scantily clad bachelor with a huge sense of humour. It was that very Christmas card that was the start of a great love story.
For 5 years, Steve had his very own unconventional tradition of humorous photoshoots, which he turned into yearly Christmas cards for his family and friends. But when Alyssa entered the picture, the solo shoots were no more, and the pair has now embraced the tradition together.
Steve and Alyssa are truly a united team, who have navigated the waters of life's obstacles together. They have also learned a thing or two about how to maintain a strong marriage. For these two, life is all about enjoying the moment, embracing who you are, and finding the person you can fully be yourself with.

More Than Just Friends: Alex and Corina
Canadian Love Map
11/23/23 • 44 min
This love story belongs to Alex and Corina, a couple who met while working at a movie theatre. Their modern love story started with friendship, and soon grew into a sitcom-worthy romance.
Both movie buffs, Alex and Corina share a love for the cinema, and specifically the show Friends has played a starring role in their lives. They are a real-life Chandler and Monica as their relationship took a while to get off the ground, but is now full of entertaining and sweet memories, including a Friends-inspired candlelit proposal.
For Alex and Corina, shared passions, humour, and appreciation of the simple everyday moments are at the core of this special connection. And they happen to be tying the knot next year, at the very theatre where it all began.

Sowing Seeds of Empowerment: The Hope Blooms Story
Canadian Love Map
11/09/23 • 49 min
Today's love story belongs to Jessie and Kolade. They are friends, colleagues, magic makers, and they are both part of a phenomenal social enterprise in Halifax, Nova Scotia called Hope Blooms.
Hope Blooms engages with inner-city youth to become change agents, positively impacting the community through innovative agricultural and culinary programs. These changemakers made a national impact a decade ago on the show Dragon's Den, where 6 young and enthusiastic youth pitched their salad dressing business and made a deal for $40,000. They even moved one of the dragons to tears.
It was a vision that started with a seed, and has since bloomed into a movement on a mission to create future leaders. It's all about growth. From the garden where the program took root, to salsa, salad dressings and scholarships.
Hope Blooms has become what it is today because of the hard work, commitment and compassion of Executive Director, Jessie Jollymore. The future is bright for this enterprise, and at the helm is Kolade Boboye, who is currently the Manager of Social Business and Innovation.

Tiny Tales, Big Love: Nancy Rose
Canadian Love Map
11/02/23 • 33 min
Nancy Rose is a former teacher and guidance counsellor whose passion for photography and crafting has transformed into an unusual new career. When Nancy found herself seeking creative inspiration, she found it in her own backyard when she witnessed the entertaining behaviours of her neighbourhood squirrels.
She started creating miniature squirrel-sized displays and props, using cardboard, clay, and other craft supplies. Motivated by hidden treats, squirrels became the subject of her photographs, as they interacted with her creations. Chasing her creativity even further, Nancy turned these whimsical sights into children's stories.
Since then, Nancy Rose has published 6 children's books featuring her delightful photos, as well as board books, and a series of calendars by Workman Publishing. Her most recent book is titled Oakley the Squirrel: Camping 1, 2, 3!: A Nutty Numbers Book and can be ordered on Amazon.
Nancy's innovative creations have not only sparked joy for many but they also spread a powerful message: embrace your creativity, follow your passions, and never be afraid to be different.

A Tail of Two Loves: Mike and Lisa
Canadian Love Map
01/18/24 • 50 min
If you've owned a dog or cat, you know the kind of love connection that's formed between a pet and their owner. The flipside of this unconditional love is the heartbreak and anxiety that takes place when your furry friends go missing. According to the SPCA, this happens over 1 million times a year in Canada.
Behind each plea for help is a family worried for the wellbeing of their pet and an animal that is often scared and alone. The resources available to help recover lost pets are limited, so oftentimes the only tools available to owners are free time and goodwill.
But one couple is changing that. For the last 5 years, Mike Chapman and Lisa Johstone have given up countless days and nights, using expert skills to help track and recover lost pets. They do it totally out of pocket and ask for nothing in return. For Mike and Lisa, the real reward of this work comes from returning a beloved pet to the place they belong - with their family.
