| From Cadet to Commanding Officer: Inside the Royal Highland Fusiliers of Canada with Lieutenant-Colonel Jason Robinson | 29 Mar 2026 | 00:33:57 | |
Today on Curious Conversations, we take our microphones inside the historic armoury in Cambridge, Ontario to meet Lieutenant‑Colonel Jason from the Royal Highland Fusiliers of Canada. He tells us how he went from a twelve‑year‑old cadet to the highest‑ranked soldier in Waterloo Region, what a reservist actually is, and why his regiment is one year older than Canada itself. We hear about his first summer of real army training (including shooting a gun for the first time and rappelling off a cliff), his deployment to Bosnia during Operation Palladium, and a powerful story about a woman pushing a wheelbarrow full of money just to buy one bag of groceries. Jason explains what daily life is like for part‑time soldiers, how teens in grade 11 can get started in the reserves, and why leadership, initiative, and appreciating what you have matter so much in and out of the military. Kids will learn:

Today, we have an insanely cool guest Krista DuChene, aka Canada’s Marathon Mom! She’s a Canadian Olympian, a Registered Dietitian, and one of the toughest runners out there. And when we say tough, we mean it. She once finished a race with a broken leg. Yeah, you read that right! We had to hear the full story—what happened, why she kept running, and how she bounced back to crush even bigger goals (like making it to the Olympics!). We also got into what it takes to train for a marathon, the best pre-race snacks (spoiler: bagels are involved 🥯), and why fueling your body the right way is so important. Plus, Krista tells us how she went from playing university hockey to becoming one of Canada’s best long-distance runners. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to push through pain, keep going when things get tough, or just want to know what marathon runners actually eat mid-race, this episode is for you!

If you love LEGO as much as we do you won’t want to miss this conversation and the next one. We had so much fun talking LEGO with Graeme Dymond that we had to make our conversation into two episodes. In Bricktastic: Part 1 we talk to Graeme about what it takes to be a LEGO Master Builder. We learn that there are many different Master Builder titles and so many ways to become one. But no matter which title or job you have it is really just another way of saying you get to wake up everyday and play with LEGO bricks for a living. Graeme’s journey started as a toddler playing with LEGO at home and he never stopped playing with LEGO bricks. This led him to a Brick Factor competition at the LEGO Discovery Centre in Toronto which he won and then he went on to become a LEGO Master Builder and a LEGO Certified Professional. We also discover what Graeme’s first LEGO set was and what his all time favourite LEGO set is. We even talk about the LEGO Masters Builder show that is on TV right now! Did you know that mini figure legs can be used in many different ways that are not just legs? We didn’t, but Graeme shows us this amazing new way to use legs when building LEGO.
