 What happens when we play outside? We become healthier - both mentally and physically. We become more creative and more focused. We connect - with nature, each other, and ourselves. Let’s Take This Outside: a new podcast hosted by me - Mary Anne Ivison - an aspiring outdoor athlete and nature lover. I speak to athletes, outdoor professionals, and scientists about their connection to nature, how it affects their performance, and everyday life.2022-2026 Mary Anne Ivison Exercice et forme physique Fitness, alimentation et nutrition Hygiène et vie saine Science

    Dr. Alison Criscitiello - Ice Core Scientist
    Apr 7 2026
    Dr. Alison Criscitiello is an ice core scientist and high-altitude mountaineer. She is an Assistant Professor and the Director of the Canadian Ice Core Lab at University of Alberta, and co-founder of Girls on Ice Canada. Criscitiello explores the history of climate and sea ice in polar and high-alpine regions using ice core chemistry. This involves long months of living in a tent and drilling ice cores in places like Antarctica, Greenland, the Yukon, and the Canadian high Arctic. Criscitiello's work also focuses on environmental contaminant histories in ice cores from the Canadian high Arctic and the water towers of the Canadian Rockies. She has earned the Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee Medal, three American Alpine Club (AAC) climbing awards, the John Lauchlan and Mugs Stump alpine climbing awards, and the first PhD in glaciology ever conferred by MIT. Criscitiello and her team installed the highest weather station in North America near Mount Logan's summit in 2021, and in 2022 drilled a record-breaking 327m ice core on its summit plateau that will shed light on how climate change impacts even the world’s highest peaks. Most recently, in spring 2025, she drilled a new ice core on Axel Heiberg Island in the Canadian high Arctic. At 613m, this is the deepest ice core ever drilled in Canadian history, and will contain critical information about Arctic Ocean and climate variability over the Holocene.

  • Lanaudière-Mauricie - an outdoor lovers paradise

    Lanaudière-Mauricie - an outdoor lovers paradise
    Mar 3 2026
    Today, we’re heading to Lanaudière-Mauricie, in the heart of Québec along the North Shore of the St. Lawrence River, perfectly positioned between Montréal and Québec City, and just a few hours from Ottawa. I was lucky enough to spend some time there over the family day long weekend. This is a region of scale: nearly 50,000 square kilometres of forests, rivers, countryside, and over 30,000 lakes. Two national parks. Dozens of regional parks. Endless space to move (or to slow down). In winter, it becomes a true playground for the outdoor lover. Snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, fatbiking, frozen lakes, quiet trails. And no shortage of hot tubs and saunas. Check out the places we stayed and played: Les Boisés De La Rivière Noire Discover our unique recreational centre nestled by the river, offering private and exclusive chalets for an unforgettable nature escape. With 15 rental units—including 7 innovative Pod chalets (3 with saunas), 3 yurts, 2 standard chalets, and 3 ready-to-camp sites—every stay comes with a private spa and, for most units, direct river access plus 2 kayaks. Standout Features Enjoy complimentary fresh farm eggs every morning from our on-site farm. Gather in our large communal yurt perfect for family reunions or events, and unwind at our small private beach. Seasonal Fun In winter, thrill seekers love our tubing slide and outdoor skating rink. Summer brings kayaking and riverside relaxation, blending comfort with authentic outdoor adventure. Le Baluchon Éco-villégiature Le Baluchon Éco-villégiature began in 1982 as a bold idea from seven students who wanted to create an eco-friendly destination rooted in nature and community. After years of planning and support, it officially opened in 1990 with 12 rooms and quickly gained recognition for its innovation and regional impact. Over time, it expanded its accommodations, spa, and outdoor experiences (snowshoeing, xc skiing, hiking, dogsledding, etc.) while staying committed to sustainability. It has evolved into an internationally recognized eco-resort known for refined nature experiences and strong environmental values. Steeve Carpentier - 2800 Du Parc Steeve Carpentier, owner of 2800 du Parc, located right next to La Mauricie National Park. While I was there, we hiked Lac Solitaire, an incredible trail that opens up along a ridgeline with sweeping winter views. It’s the kind of hike that reminds you how vast this region really is. Steeve has completed 17 Ironmans, raced Ironman Mont-Tremblant, and taken on the extreme Canadaman, but what stands out most is how deeply connected he is to this place. We went snowshoeing (Lac Solitaire) at La Mauricie National Park. We went fatbiking at Parcs Des Chutes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
