Did you know it’s National Tree Day here in Canada? Take a few minutes to appreciate the trees around you. Not only do they provide shade and cool down your neighbourhood, they also help clean the air and provide food and shelter for a lot of little critters.

Watch this short film about an inspiring man who singlehandedly repopulated his small island with trees. What dedication!

If you’re feeling generous and would like to donate to support the Urban Forest Fund, I’m a big supporter of what LEAF - Local Enhancement and Appreciation of Forests does, and I urge you to toss them a donation if you can. Just give up one PSL and throw a fiver their way.

AUX Tv has debuted the brand new video for Bloodlines, directed by Adam Seward. Big thanks to the small-but-mighty crew we had that day, and for Angie DiBattista for her awesome makeup skills. 

Filmed just outside of Toronto, in a magical forest, replete with waterfalls. Over the two days we were filming I was mostly covered in mud (and mosquitoes) or water and, although tiring, was totally fun! Makes me really look forward to the coming summer.
