Dreaming About I Do’s with Wellington’s Best Kept Gem
Opening in 1967, Ron Wilkin Jewellers’ Fergus location was taken over by Ron’s son Graham and his wife Amy in 2012. Together, they expanded into Elora in 2020. Don’t, however, let the addresses of these two locations fool you; they may be in small towns, but they are not “small town” in what they can provide.
Keeping Pets Safe in the Garden
If you have pets that enjoy spending time outdoors, it’s important to make sure your yard is a safe place for them to be.
Sleeping Soundly
It’s essential to try mattresses in person before making a purchase. Visit a mattress store and take your time laying on a few different models to get a feel for what you like and what feels most comfortable for you.
Gerrie’s Farm Market
Tim says that since day one, the family business has always been about providing ‘Farm to Table’ products for the customer. “I would say that it was definitely a ‘producer to customer’ relationship that my Grandparents highly valued when they launched the family business back in the late 1940’s and now you see so much exposure given by the media to buy local, which has definitely helped to reinforce the ‘Farm to Table’ method of providing healthy, fresh and home-grown foods, at prices that people can afford.”
Committed to the Good Life: Bumper the Wonder Dog
Bumper is the now obliviously famous blind and deaf Double Merle Australian Shepherd/Poodle Cross that has stolen the internet and local community’s hearts – much like he loves to make off with the winter hats of visitors as part of his extra efforts at understanding influxes into his environment.

Artist Feature: Michael Pape
Compassion is one of the easiest things to give, and it can be given freely. It’s not a question of changing your whole life, but rather appraising your actions and thinking beyond them. As we get caught in the day to day, it’s easy to forget about the world beyond our own lives. Michael and his art simply ask you to take a few moments to remember, and to be kind.
Finding the Soul in the “Ordinary”
One of the highest compliments that Nicole has received came from a friend and fellow artist who told her that her work has soul. This comment has continued to resonate with Nicole because, at the end of the day, that has been her goal with her work.
Casa Loma
The legend of Casa Loma and its prominent place in the geographic and historical place in Toronto is shrouded in mystery and confusion, perhaps perpetuated by the fact that it was indeed designed as a “fantasy castle” by an eccentric millionaire in the heart of the city, changing hands in ownership many times over the course of a century.
Wychwood Park Magic
Wychwood Park is a few minutes drive and an easy walk west, crossing Bathurst Street, from Casa Loma along Davenport Road. It is a private and gated residential community of about 60 homes, that was essentially one of the first of the planned communities in Canada.
The Birth of the Muscle Car
here is a love affair with the muscle car, and it’s not just in the United States. It’s a global love affair. For over 50 years, the American muscle car has captured the imagination and the desire of hot-blooded men and their need for speed.
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 Peniteniary
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).
Serving You Fresh & 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.
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.
