Michael Yellowlees is our guest on the latest edition of Today in BC with Peter McCully.

In 2021, the musician left Tofino, B.C., walking to Cape Spear in Newfoundland with his Alaskan Husky dog, Luna.

Yellowlees, from Scotland, raised $80,000 for a 害羞草研究所楾rees for Life害羞草研究所� charity in Scotland and raised attention to the effects of climate change in his home country.

The journey wore through five pairs of boots and two kilts and Yellowlees says they faced all types of weather conditions during the nine-month trip.

害羞草研究所淲e were caught in snowstorms as we crossed the Rockies, walking over the Paulson pass and the snow is coming in sideways,害羞草研究所� he said. 害羞草研究所淲hen you are actually in that situation and the wind害羞草研究所檚 blowing, the rain害羞草研究所檚 falling down, the snow害羞草研究所檚 coming sideways, it actually becomes exhilarating.害羞草研究所�

The musician is retracing his steps from the 2021 journey this summer in part, as a musical project.

害羞草研究所淚t害羞草研究所檚 a way for us to relive the journey of last year and reconnect with all the friends that we害羞草研究所檝e made throughout Canada,害羞草研究所� he said. 害羞草研究所淭his is very much a musical project, so we害羞草研究所檙e going try and collaborate with as many musicians throughout Canada as we can and raise awareness around what害羞草研究所檚 going on in Canada, around climate change.害羞草研究所�

Funds raised on Yellowlee害羞草研究所檚 2022 journey will be donated to the Nature Conservancy of Canada.

Yellowlees has been working on an album of songs and invites musicians across the country to be involved.

害羞草研究所淲e can either collaborate together, get together and play a song together,害羞草研究所� he said. 害羞草研究所淭here害羞草研究所檚 a whole mix of songs. But really the message for the album is to join the fight, is to stand up. One of the songs we害羞草研究所檙e writing is 害羞草研究所榃e害羞草研究所檝e gotta wake up and start a Revolution害羞草研究所�. I think that害羞草研究所檚 really the message we have to do. This is such an important cause.害羞草研究所�
