CALGARY
Cut Down Your Own Christmas Tree This Year
Up until two years ago I had no real interest in putting up a Christmas tree. The idea of heading to a big-box store to pick up a tree didn’t really do it for me. My opinion changed when a friend tipped me off to the process of heading out into the forest to find my own tree. If you are one of many Calgarians already planning on putting up a tree this holiday season, I wholeheartedly recommend giving this a try.

VANCOUVER
A Good Book Drive: Robert Chaplin
To own a piece of Robert Chaplin’s art is to own a piece of Vancouver’s history. His Chinatown art studio humbly says as much, with a roof covered in his handiwork (his self-professed personal Sistine Chapel). A man of many crafts, Robert donated his collection of children’s books including a large print library edition of the famous Teeny Ted from Turnip Town, once featured in The Guinness Book of World Records as the smallest reproduction of a printed book ever published.

Educating the Palate at Cornucopia Whistler
What tasting notes are you picking up? What is the nose giving you? What is the texture like? These are all questions that baffle many of us when it comes to wine. Truth be told, the wisest guidance I have been given by an expert is “if you like it, then drink it”.
