Borups Corners Adventures

Explore the heart of the Northwestern Ontario wilderness with the Borups Corners Adventures series, a collection of short stories that blend pulse-pounding outdoor challenges with a powerful, emotional journey of self-discovery. Centered in the rugged landscapes of Northwestern Ontario, this series follows city teen Myles as he navigates the complex world of family, nature, and the search for a place to belong.

From the quiet, haunting trails of the old Sakoose Mine to the breathtaking waters of Melgund Lake, each adventure serves as a lesson about dignity, resilience and sustainable living.

"The Sakoose Compass" by Jamie Bell offers readers a compelling look at the Canadian wilderness through the eyes of a modern teenager. The new short story, released this week, centers on Myles, a gaming-obsessed youth who finds himself lost in the treacherous Northwestern Ontario forest while visiting his grandfather. Forced to confront the raw power of nature, Myles begins to understand a strength far beyond any screen. This narrative beautifully illustrates the core theme of the dignity of nature, reminding us of the profound lessons the wild can offer.
