The book celebrates Canada's uniquely lake-rich landscape, and explores the relationship that both the author and all Canadians have with this "Lakeland". In the book, the author chronicles his summer vacations to ten Canadian lakes. His tale begins at the cabin his father built on Saskatchewan's, Emma Lake in 1960, and continues on a journey through ten of Canada’s scenic lakes, extenuating their increasingly fragile existence as pristine lakes of Saskatchewan. It has been called an "extraordinary piece of writing",[2] earning accolades of literary recognition. Awards and honoursLakeland received the 2010 "Governor General's Award for Non-Fiction".[3] The book also received shortlist recognition for the 2010 "Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction".[4]See also
