If you’ve ever seen the northern lights, you know they can be so magical they look as if painted onto the sky. “Sky Painter” is a tribute to nature’s brilliance and artistry. The video features an Indigenous artist who seems to be able to paint the vivid colours of the aurora borealis across Alberta’s dark skies. It captures a moment in time when people engaging in various winter activities across the province’s diverse landscapes witness his brushstrokes stretching across the horizon. Cross-country skiers, rural hockey players, frozen waterfall chasers, and hot tub stargazers are at once awed by the wild skies before them.

This story showcases why we call this province “Canada’s Wild Side.” It’s a place that rewards the bold and adventurous—those who do things a little differently.
