Three Generations, One Trip: A Family Summer Vacation to Harrison Hot Springs
Every year after our family holiday, my sons and I immediately discuss next year’s travel plans. It all started in 2019, when both my sons each had a toddler. That first trip brought us all so much closer together that we vowed it would become an annual ritual. Since then, we’ve booked a three-night summer staycation somewhere in the province.

Farm Animals, Waterfalls and Markets: A Family-Friendly Summer Getaway to Parksville Qualicum Beach
Those looking for a Vancouver Island getaway may overlook Parksville Qualicum Beach. But this low-key locale has all the charm—not to mention expansive stretches of sand and some of the warmest ocean temperatures in Canada—of better-known tourist hotspots.

Recipe: How to Make Fajitas From Scratch (Camping Edition!)
Fajitas are definitely one of my go-to camping recipes. They’re easily customizable to everyone’s tastes, from making them vegetarian to super spicy. Plus, they make excellent leftovers. Depending on how many days into a camping trip you want to make them, all the prep could be done at home, and you can freeze your protein to help it keep longer (bonus—it keeps the cooler cold, too). You’ll also want to pre-mix the seasoning before you head out (check out this homemade seasoning recipe).
Birdman Restaurant Takes Flight in Victoria
When most people meet David Healey for the first time, they immediately notice the chef’s many tattoos. “I talk about having my philosophies of life on one arm and my philosophies on food on the other, and then I just have a lot of stuff in between,” he says. A tattoo he calls his “pinup pig” riffs on the old-school sailor tattoo of a pinup girl. His tattoo shows a pig sectioned into butcher cuts, honouring the idea of using the whole animal without any waste.

It’s a scorching summer afternoon, the temperature pushing 30° C—exactly the kind of day that calls for a leisurely escape from the city. An hour east of downtown Vancouver, the historic village of Fort Langley is buzzing with visitors strolling down its charming streets, and at the heart of the excitement is one of the town’s newest culinary additions: Sabà Pizzeria. But a destination this far from home deserves more than a meal.
What to Eat and Drink Around Vancouver this July
As I write this, Canada still has a chance in the World Cup. What a delicious sentence to type.

There is something so joyful about celebrating with folks from all around the world who are just bedazzled by our city’s beauty. If you haven’t been, go check it out—it’s a wonderful feeling out there.
