Remembering my dad, Harold Nisker, on his birthday. 🎂

To the world, he was a health nut, a dedicated husband, a loving father, and a proud grandfather. To me, he was also the spark behind everything I do.
Looking back at this footage of him from Ground War, I’m reminded that my obsession with health, environment, and asking the hard questions started with him. He taught me to care deeply about what we put into our bodies and how we treat the world around us.
He didn’t just teach me how to live well; he inspired me to pick up a camera and tell stories that matter.

Who is the person in your life that shaped the way you see the world? 💚🎬

🎹 DON’T LET THE MUSIC DIE! 🎹

The historic Casavant Memorial Organ in Convocation Hall at the University of Alberta is set to be removed, permanently separating this living war memorial from campus. Dedicated in honour of the 238 U of A students and staff who sacrificed their lives in WWI and WWII, this invaluable piece of history and heritage deserves to stay where it belongs.
We are making a final push to save the pipes—and we need your help right now!

Batteries are hidden everywhere! 🔋

As technology advances, batteries are increasingly built into almost every product we touch, from smart Wi-Fi devices to novelty items. When these products end up in the waste stream, embedded batteries create major downstream hazards at recycling facilities, including fire risks and costly manual sorting challenges.
Here are a few simple ways you can help reduce unnecessary battery usage:
* Opt for analog alternatives: Before buying an electronic gadget, ask if a manual version (like a standard hand crank, classic kitchen tool, or corded device) does the job just as well.
* Avoid cheap, disposable electronics: Cheap novelty toys, lighted gizmos, and single-use electronic items often contain non-removable batteries that end up straight in the trash.
* Support repairable products: Look for devices with easily removable and replaceable batteries so you can extend the life of the product without discarding the whole unit.

What is the craziest thing you’ve ever seen a battery in? Tell us below! 👇
