The Color Run Makes Running Fun

By //  by Candace Sampson

Running is a mental game. It not only requires fitness and endurance but a profound will to go the distance. I, do not possess this mental game. In fact, usually, somewhere around the second kilometre of a run, I'd just as soon walk away and go have a drink somewhere than take another step. I'm a quitter, ok? There. I said it. Quitter. It took a trip to Florida to make running fun for me a couple of years ago. The truth is that after I ran a Disney race, I sort of gave up on running …

In case it's not immediately obvious, it's because Clevelands House reminds me of the family resort in Dirty Dancing without all the drama. Clevelands House is a throwback, and in today's age of families often separated while in the same room by technology, this is a good thing. A very good …

Visit Kingston Canada

By //  by Candace Sampson

I can't count how many times I've passed Kingston on the highway while heading to Toronto for some event. A hundred maybe? And every time I do I berate myself for not getting to know it better.

Get To Know the Kawarthas

By //  by Candace Sampson

The thing about Canada is that it covers such a vast area and has so much to explore that it can be easy to miss some of the gems. Take The Kawarthas, the land of shining water, for example. Just east and northeast of Toronto, the Kawarthas include the areas of Peterborough, Lindsay, Bethany, Bobcaygeon, Fenelon Falls, Kirkfield, Kinmount and Omemee. A short trip for most in Ontario, The Kawarthas offers enough activities to make a perfect weekend escape for the whole family. Four Can't Miss …
