Its rolling, rugged topography sets St. Léon and its surrounding countryscape apart - here and there, hills give way to glens and the occasional plateau, a succession of long waves that are interspersed with a great number of ponds and small lakes that scintillate far into the horizon.
Located 150 kilometres southwest of Winnipeg, Manitoba, St. Léon is known for its Francophone community, its agricultural industry, its wind farm, and its natural beauty. A strong community spirit is palpable among the residents of St. Léon, who are deeply committed to making their village a great place to live, and a delightful one to visit.

Mike Grandmaison's Prairie and Beyond
Photographs by Mike Grandmaison
Text by Jan Volney
Publisher: Turnstone Press | 252 pages | 2012
ISBN-978-0-88801-393-4
Still and stunning, wild and challenging, the Canadian Prairie is breathtaking to behold. In lush full colour, award-winning photographer Mike Grandmaison's expert lens captures the vastness of sky and land with scenes of the elusive Northern Lights, misty fields at dawn, endless horizons, and the immense skies that define the prairie landscape.
A place notorious for hardship and subsistence survival, the Prairie yields its beauty to the patient watcher. From birds soaring over wetlands, to wildlife grazing across rolling grasslands, Grandmaison's trained eye misses nothing to bring the prairie to life in this remarkable volume. Mike also introduces the book as well as provide 'stories behind the photographs'.
Jan Volney, retired research scientist with Forestry Canada, introduces the various chapters by speaking to the landforms, the climate, the human culture and the biology, including examples of the plants and animals found within the various habitats. He discusses issues like climate change and nation building. Like the true ecologist that he is, he understands profoundly how living organisms (including man) relate to their environment. His keen sense of observation enables him to offer an interesting perspective as well as great insight into the region.
'Mike Grandmaison's passionate quest to capture the essence of this great land and his tireless effort to create meaningful, relevant images of lasting beauty has resulted in a truly remarkable, award-winning body of work. Many share my view that his intimate portraits of the natural world and exquisite landscapes are unexcelled, and I am delighted that he has 'turned his lens' to the prairies in this collector's volume.
The fine gallery of light-filled imagery you will discover herein reflect his exceptional eye and uncanny ability to unearth the photogenic in the 'here and now' - he finds resonance and beauty in what many would pass by as being commonplace, and he brings a singular viewpoint to his work that is born of intuition, an innate humility, deep respect for the natural world, and an undying attitude of discovery'.

Georgian Bay: A breathtaking photographic portrait of Canada' s 'inland sea.' The natural, rugged beauty of Georgian Bay has inspired generations of Canadian artists, such as Tom Thomson and A. Y. Jackson, who have captured the emotional impact that this large body of water and its surroundings have had on those who visit the region.
Often called the sixth Great Lake, Georgian Bay is the northeastern arm of Lake Huron, the fifth-largest lake in the world. Located between Manitoulin Island to the northwest (the world's largest freshwater island) and by the Bruce Peninsula to the southwest, it is more or less separated from the rest of Lake Huron.
Georgian Bay is a vacation haven, with crowds assembling at the many beautiful sandy beaches along its shores. Others seek solitude in the windswept, rocky, and sparsely treed islands that attract cottagers and
tourists alike who visit by motorboat, sailboat, kayak, or canoe.
Mike Grandmaison lived in the Georgian Bay area for some twenty-five years. With camera in hand, he has explored the region by foot, canoe, and kayak to capture those intimate photographs that represent the essence
of the area. Whether it is a chunk of glacier-scraped pink or white granite inhabited by a lone, windswept pine shaped by the prevailing westerly winds, or an abstract composition of cobalt blue water shimmering in the afternoon sun, Grandmaison treats us to the beauty and wonder of Georgian Bay.
Gerard M. Courtin is Professor Emeritus at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario, and Adjunct Professor in the Department of Forensic Science. He spent his career as a full-time faculty member working on naturally and anthropogenically stressed ecosystems. He presently splits his time between teaching environmental science courses, both at his home institution and in the United States, and forensic botany research and case work for law enforcement agencies. He takes every opportunity that comes his way to spend time in his kayak studying the natural history of Georgian Bay.
