Before they were grandparents, they were crossing the country.
I don’t think I can say my great-grandfather crossed the entire country, but he definitely made it through a good portion of Manitoba. At least, that’s what my grandmother tells me. My great-grandfather was really the only one in the family who was into dogsleds, but we always have huskies - so we at least keep some of his tradition alive.

Before they were grandparents, they were playing the field.
It doesn’t get more Canadian than this: a bunch of guys, playing lacrosse in the Prairies. This photo is of my great-grandfather who lived in Manitoba and I have to say, I don’t care that Dads Are The Original Hipsters, these guys have their look together. My great-grandfather is the little guy on the right, crouching down. I’m too young to have known him, but he looks like an OK guy.
