James Raffan celebrated two prominent anniversaries last year. One was his 70th birthday and the other marked 50 years of exploring and documenting Canada's arctic and its people. Those two milestones inspired Raffan to write his one-man showThe Accidental Canadian, which combines storytelling and original music and is part love letter, part homage to the places and people who've shaped his life.Raffan is bringing his show to the Haliburton Legion on Wednesday, March 11th. He sat down with CanoeFM recently to share some of what he's learned through trekking in the arctic but more from the indigenous people living there. He's grateful for the life he's been fortunate to live and thinks the best lessons come from being on the edge.
