Apr 13, 2016 | Contributor: Cynthia DialTo best appreciate Banff National Park, visits to its most noted landmarks are key. Originally constructed as lures for the jet-set crowd (albeit long before jets), Fairmont Banff Springs and Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise continue to draw those who seek more plush accommodations.

Jul 29, 2015 | Contributor: Diane Sukiennik & Michael ReissThe uniqueness of Canada’s Québec Province—with its old world charm and new world creativity—is only topped by its renowned cuisine. While many people may have visited quaint Québec City, the culinary culture truly begins in the bucolic “Eastern Townships,” where all the local ingredients are cultivated. So, as any gourmand worth his/her salt would say, “Let’s go to the source.” A three-night tour of the villages and towns—each with their own specialties—will introduce you to the pleasures of the palette. ...

Aug 11, 2015 | Contributor: Julie HatfieldAfter a helicopter ride north from Vancouver, about 45 minutes of over the Discovery Islands, a dozen of us set down at the Sonora Resort on a recent trip. This is the only way it can be reached, via air or boat. No roads mar the pristine beauty of the deep red cedar, fir, pine and spruce forests here. How ironic, to be spoiled rotten in one of the most unspoiled places on earth. ... Read More |

Jan 14, 2015 | Contributor: Maria YatesBefore 2015 rolled in, I took my yearly pilgrimage to Yorkville, which is, without a doubt, one of Toronto's swankiest areas. It's also my personal favorite city in the vicinity. Any time of the year Yorkville is trendy and glamorous, and maintains a small-village feel within a large metropolis. But during the month of December, with the extra twinkling of festive lights, it is especially attractive and romantic. ... Read More |

Sep 8, 2014 | Contributor: Julie Hatfield | 5 CommentsHave you ever been helicopter fishing? No, it doesn’t mean fishing for helicopters. It means having your own private helicopter with a pilot who is as good a fisherman and mountain guide as he is at piloting.

Once there, you can throw in your line and pull them in to your heart’s content. ... Read More |
