Episode
guide
Mike and Euvie explain what drove them from Vancouver to 400 acres in the BC mountains — and what they were trying to build.
A tour of Wells Gray Village: the forest, the lake, the golf course, and the infrastructure they inherited and are reimagining.
Defining the model. What makes a village 'smart' — and how does it differ from an eco-commune, an RV park, or a resort?
The social infrastructure of a village: who shows up, how trust is built, and what a real community actually looks like day-to-day.
The technology layer: AI-assisted coordination, community dashboards, and the systems that make a village run without burning out its operators.
What outdoor education looks like when the classroom is 400 acres. Following kids through a day in Wells Gray Village.
Wood-fired heat, cold river plunge, and the social glue that holds the village together every evening.
How a village pays for itself: the RV park, golf, events, memberships, and the long-stay programs that make it economically viable.
The builders, fabricators, and tinkerers contributing their skills to the village in exchange for land and community.
A full day inside the village: morning routines, work blocks, shared meals, afternoon recreation, and evening campfire.
Why remote-working families are choosing the village over city life — and what it means to raise children in this environment.
Beyond one village. How the Portal.Place model scales into a network of Smart Villages across Canada and beyond.
