Colour, Charm, & Connection in The Eastern Townships

By //  by Candace Sampson Leave a Comment

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 …

Manoir Saint Sauveur is the Ski & Spa Holiday You Need This Winter

By //  by Candace Sampson 1 Comment

Winter has arrived in Canada in it's typical blustery nature, blanketing the world in white and leaving many Canadians scratching their heads asking, "Now what?" Five long months stretch out before us and we have but two choices; grumble through the entire season or get out and enjoy it. I'm definitely a fan of the latter, and that's why I'm so glad we found Manoir Saint Sauveur.  Located a short and scenic two hour drive from Ottawa, as well as from Montreal, Manoir Saint Sauveur is the …

Maple, Montebello, Music, Memories: A Girls’ Getaway With Ford

By //  by Vanessa Chiasson Leave a Comment

Was ‘Despacito’ REALLY the song of the summer for 2017? Every road trip beings with a moment of reflection and introspection, doesn't it? The status of 'Despacito'  weighed on my mind and I knew just who to debate it with. Our girls getaway to Chateau Montebello, was all about what really matters. Like the pros and cons of Justin Bieber singing in Spanish, or what songs are truly indispensable on a cross country journey.  When it came to debating the big questions in life, …

Dogsledding in Mont Tremblant

Dogsledding in Mont Tremblant with Expedition Wolf

By //  by Candace Sampson Leave a Comment

There are few things that tug on my heartstrings quite like dogs do. So when my daughters and I had the opportunity to try dogsledding in Mont Tremblant we jumped at the chance.  Dogsledding is as old as Canada and it's origins can be traced back to our northern Aboriginal people. When fur traders and explorers arrived on the scene they found dogsledding a most efficient way to get around town. The rest as they say is history; dogsledding is as Canadian as maple syrup, back …
