TRAVEL FEATURE: Cruising the south-eastern fringe of ALASKA
Going by ship is an idyllic and privileged way to experience the seclusion found in these mountainous forests on the edge of Canada’s north-west. Our voyage starts from Vancouver, traveling north, behind thousands of densely wooded islands, mostly protected from the ocean, along a decisive inland channel aptly named the Inside Passage.
AN ELEVATED PIZZA EXPERIENCE
It’s more than just about the food; it’s about what the food has to offer you. It’s the experience of enjoying dining again that draws so many to The Craft Pizza Bar & Italian Kitchen. So, when you’re ready to branch out and try something different, you know where to find it.

TWENTY YEARS & COUNTING: The Misty Meadows Market Story
Twenty years is a long time. It’s enough time for a reputable organization to build a solid reputation, or for a new born baby to grow into a fully grown adult. Heck, for many animals, twenty years is most, if not all, of their life span.
BIG COUNTRY with a “BIG HOUSE” HISTORY: KINGSTON PENITENTIARY
It’s all in the names. When first entering Kingston Penitentiary along King Street West, one enters through the north gate; a true testament to British and Crown authority dating from 1833. You can feel the overwhelming weight of history in all eleven and a half acres of the prison; the vast significance of the structure looking down on you from ten-metre-high solid limestone walls (complete with guard towers once housing 24-hour sentries armed with rifles).

OH CHRISTMAS TREE!
Like most of our holiday traditions which originated in other places and times, the Christmas tree stands out as the most universal symbol this time of year, and has been adopted into many cultures.
COLOUR YOUR HOME
Light and colour affect your mood; so much so that there is a whole school of psychology related to it. Bright vibrant colours can be energizing, though too much can also be overstimulating, not necessarily making it the right tone for a room you spend a lot of time in. Rich warm colours, on the other hand, can be comforting, but also heavy perhaps bringing down the tone of the space.
SERVING YOU FRESH and LOCAL
“Shop Local” has become a bit of a slogan as of late. At the height of the pandemic, when so many businesses were struggling to keep their doors open, shopping local was something that we could all do in order to feel we had some control over our lives, during a time when we had very little control over anything.
DRYWALLING … NOT SO EASY

1960 MG-A ROADSTER – Mark Bates’ Latest Pride And Joy
One could say that when it comes to Classic Car collector Mark Bates, the word boring has never existed during his lifetime, be it work or pleasure. His ‘not so boring’ 1960 MG-A Roadster, is just the latest of a few ‘nice rides’ that Mark has been fortunate to own over the years and is a vehicle that he bought in Georgia and I might add, sight unseen.
LIGHT UP YOUR LIFE
Despite improvements in lighting technology, nothing luminates quite like the real thing and skylights are the perfect vehicle to bring it in to your home.
Before you install the skylight, the planning stage should include consideration of what you want it to achieve.
Ask the Health Expert: THYMUS and ADAPTIVE IMMUNITY
These days it is obvious that the strength and health of our immune system is of primary importance. When our immune system is suppressed or not functioning properly, we are less able to defend ourselves against the onslaught of infections, pathogens, viruses, bacteria, and toxins that assail us every day.
Ask the Beauty Expert: MISTAKES TO AVOID with SKIN CARE

YOU’RE ONE STOP WINTER SUPPLY SHOP
Whether we like it or not, winter is coming. Let’s be real, George R. R. Martin 100% stole this phrase from Canada. No matter how nice a summer we have or how long fall seems to last, winter will always be waiting around the corner, eager to dig its frosty claws into us for a four-month minimum. However, as Canadians we’ve also learned that winter isn’t so bad – so long as you know how to handle it.
WHERE CLEVER DESIGN MEETS ARTISTRY and LUXURY
“This is the only modern build in Orangeville”, begins Shawna. And she’s right. In all of my years of writing for this magazine and admiring many beautiful homes, this home is something different. It has a “strength” of beauty, one that blends artisan edge with elegance and luxury.
