03Local favourites
My favourite spots around town
The restaurants, shops, cafés and hidden gems that make a regular Tuesday here feel special.
04Four seasons, minutes from home
Every season has its own reason to love it here.
Fall colour on the escarpment, snowboarding at Blue Mountain, spring on the trails and summer on the water. Here, the season decides what your weekend looks like, not the traffic.
"Getting outside isn't a weekend plan here. It's part of an ordinary Tuesday."
