Bus North to Thompson With Les at the Wheel

“Les Brandt drives for Grey Goose Coach Lines due north from Winnipeg to Thompson, Manitoba, as well as on long distance charters all over North America. He was recently awarded the ‘Million Safe Miles Award’, as well as ‘Driver of the Year’. “I drove highway bus myself for many years – it was an exceptionally good seasonal artist’s job, that I still miss. When speaking with Les, I’m reminded in particular of the summer of ’87, when I drove a route from northern British Columbia to the Yukon. Over the years I’ve come to admire people, like Les, who do their jobs well and seem to fit what they’re doing like it’s a well-tailored suit of clothes. “Les is also a painter, his specialty an on-going series of kinetic cow paintings (available through the Winnipeg Art Gallery).” Music by Jason Tait.
