Becoming Albertan is a travel documentary, APP, website and thirty-two three minute vignettes by filmmaker Brandy Yanchyk which focus on experiences new Canadians and immigrants can have when they come to Alberta. Three of the videos in this spectacular series focus on some of our beloved local facilities and pastimes.
Three local activities caught the filmmaker's attention on her trek across Alberta: bird banding at the Lesser Slave Lake Bird Observatory & Boreal Centre for Bird Conservation; bison farming at the North Shore Homestead; and sport fishing on Lesser Slave Lake.
