This month Xplornet Facebook, Twitter and Instagram followers were challenged to post a photo and caption of what “rural life” means to them for their chance to win. In a random draw we selected Charles, the lucky winner of a new tablet.

We received so many beautiful entries that we couldn’t help but share them with all of you. Here’s what rural Canadian life looks like through the eyes of Xplornet’s online community:
