Real stories from Karen and the murder. Short reads, warm inside.
Crow’s Pass didn’t start in a boardroom. It started on a deck in Cape Breton, with coffee, crows and a lot of living. Here are a few of the stories we’ve shared.
A Tribute to My Parents
Four kids, four very different paths, all from the same address. Karen’s parents married in 1957 and kept the same door and the same phone number for 69 years. A Gen X love letter to latchkey summers, and to always knowing the way home.
The Words Only the Elders Knew
In Fort McMurray, Karen worked in a Métis community she loved, and learned how rare the Michif words had become. It’s a story about why elders belong in community, not tucked away. Plus “crow” in five languages of this land.
Whatever Happened to Retiring at 55?
Work hard, save a little, and you’ll be free by 55. We believed it. Karen believed it right up until 52. 55 isn’t a restriction. It’s a starting point.
Fort Mac Was Good to Me
Karen went west heading towards 50 with a plan, and she loved it. Fort Mac taught her she could stand on her own two feet, and she brought that strength home to Cape Breton.
