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

By //  by Vanessa Chiasson

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, …

The Mont Tremblant Snowshoe and Fondue Tour Is Winter Fun for Active Families

By //  by Candace Sampson

You probably landed here by googling something like "Is the Mont Tremblant snowshoe and fondue hard?" or "Will I plummet to my death off the side of a mountain in the dark on my quest for cheese?".  I'm happy to say the answer to both of these questions is no.  When I first committed my family of four to the Mont Tremblant Snowshoe and Fondue Tour, I'll admit that I couldn't readily find the answers to the questions I had (see question 2 above). Which is why I'm going …

A 24 Hour Escape to Wakefield Mill & Spa in Quebec

By //  by Candace Sampson

Work. Work. Work. Carpool. Laundry. Work. Groceries. Clean. Work. Sigh. Life occasionally gets stalled in the mundane lane and one day you realize the most important words you've exchanged with your spouse in weeks are, "We need milk." My husband and I fell into this trap and although we knew we needed to reconnect, we couldn't figure out where the "time" was coming from. It was impossible for us to escape for a day, let alone a whole weekend. I was surprised to find out that, if …

Time is A Luxury – Bend it to Your Will

By //  by Candace Sampson

I am not zen. I live by the work hard, play harder philosophy. Zen moments—that is moments where I am in the moment—are few and far between. Typically when I’m working I’m dreaming of playing and vice versa. The consequence is that I’m slightly frenetic. (I can hear the sniggering from here of those that know me well.) Funny then, that I should learn to embrace zen moments on a recent excursion with Ford Canada, when they invited me along on their Back to Basics weekend in Mont Tremblant. …

Canadian Winter Festivals – Winter is Fun, Get out There!

By //  by Katja Wulfers

Canadians know how to throw a party, and we don’t let a little thing like -21C (that’s -6F for our American friends) stop us. After all, if we restricted our celebrations to the days we felt all ten toes and our ears weren’t red, some parts of Canada would only get out for nine weeks of the year. We’ve adapted to the conditions by coming up with some creative Canadian winter festivals, and we’re happy to share them with visitors. What’s a party without guests? Let’s get the big guns out of …

How to Combat Summer’s Deadly Sins
