Colour, Charm, & Connection in The Eastern Townships

By //  by Candace Sampson

When the world shut down Canadians had little choice but to get familiar with their own backyard. Thankfully, our backyard happens to be one of the prettiest places on earth. Case in point, The Eastern Townships in Quebec. Consisting of nine regions, 'The Townships' resemble a Hallmark movie backdrop with picturesque towns and villages nestled in between valleys and mountains. While I can’t guarantee you’ll fall head over heels in love with a rich man in a flannel shirt posing as a humble …

Captain Your Own Ship On The Ultimate Girls’ Trip

By //  by Candace Sampson

If there was only one thing I could impart to you about vacationing with Le Boat on the Rideau Canal in Canada, it would be this: you can do it. Yes, you. If I, a vertically challenged woman who has wilfully avoided parallel parking for 36 years, can Captain a 50 foot, five bedroom Le Boat houseboat through various locks and waterways on the Rideau Canal over five days, then you, my friend, can do it too. I can already hear your objections from here. Place a checkmark beside each one I get …

Why You Should Travel to Mississauga (Yes, I said Mississauga)

By //  by Candace Sampson

“You’re going where?”, my friend asked with a perplexed look on her face.  “Mississauga,” I said. “But why? What’s in Mississauga?”.  Ah, dear friend, a lot as it turns out. For the travel deprived and cabin fevered amongst us, Mississauga happens to be the perfect place to dip your toes back into exploration. As someone who writes about travel, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about its return post-pandemic and where I would end up first. While staring at the walls in my house, …

Toronto With Teens – Chasing Teen Dreams in The Six

By //  by Candace Sampson

Exploring Toronto with teens, was for me, like seeing this cosmopolitan city with new eyes. Toronto had become so familiar to me over the years, having lived, worked, and played there, that I had become complacent about it as a tourist destination. On a recent trip with my teenager and her best friend though, I was reminded why the Six attracts visitors from around the globe. Safe, clean, bursting with arts & culture, adventure, sports, dining, and shopping, Toronto quite literally has …

Ottawa Capital Pride

Capital Pride – Ottawa Brings The Love

By //  by Candace Sampson

I believe in love. I am fully, completely, and with a giddy, fluttery heart in love with love. It's hard for me to explain how important it is for me to know that. My heart has been through a lot lately, and it would be easy to let cynicism guide me. It wasn't a delivery of a dozen roses or a new guy though that reminded me of the power of love, but an invitation to march in the Ottawa Capital Pride parade. What better place to find affirmation for living and loving wholeheartedly than …
