Spring forward

With the tantalizing promise of spring in the air (and, we hope, summer just around the corner), we’ve corralled a host of ideas to welcome the new season as the mercury’s vertiginous ascent continues (hopefully) apace.

How does your garden grow?

The warming climate provides an opportunity for Cottage Country gardeners to take some planting risks. Peaches, anyone?

Water wise

Every summer, the serene waterways of Cottage Country beckon residents and visitors to come out and play. But an idyllic image of life by the water masks the danger it poses for the unprepared. It’s high time we face facts about life by the water.

Out and about

Keeping up with a fitness routine in the time of COVID has led trainers, their clients and the rest of us to be more creative in the ways we get moving.

A Sunday drive

A quick stop during a weekend outing became a life altering event for the Lalonde family, who became the proud new owners of Crossroads Restaurant in Rosseau.

Comfort food

Is there anything better than a delicious dinner at home, prepared by the entire family? It’s love on a plate!

Eastern promise

Think Nova Scotia is all folk music, high tides and lobster? Well, think again. Prepare to discover a province packed full of architecture, celebrity chefs, delicious wine and some of Canada’s most potent design inspiration.

Surviving isolation

Winter may encourage you to hibernate, which means that you need to be proactive about your physical and mental well-being.

The Ancient Ones

From soft and sensual, to jagged and sharp, the icebergs slip silently by along the east coast of Newfoundland.

The feel-good factor

Reward, repair, restore – that’s what February means to us. So go on: bring on the ‘good feels’ with products that bring out the best in you. All showcased items hail from independent Ontario traders.
