  1. Olsen: What you should know before you travel outside the country

    After nearly two years of staying put in landlocked Alberta, I’m not going to lie – burying my toes in soft sand and listening to ocean waves gently lapping a beach was a dream come true. There’s just one thing I wish I would have done differently on my first beach day in Mexico. I should have put on more sunscreen. If, like me, you haven’t been outside the country since the pandemic began, there are a few things you can do to make sure your trip goes smoothly and applying sunscreen to your sun-deprived skin is just one of them.

  2. Athens neighbourhoods as much a draw as ancient landmarks

    Athens has been an irresistible draw for tourists in both ancient and modern times. With an extensive history stretching back more than 3,500 years, the city hosts a bevy of archaeological sites, historic landmarks and world-class museums to explore. It’s true that no trip to Athens is complete without a pilgrimage to the Acropolis, seeing the Parthenon up close or retracing the steps of Socrates through the ancient agora but as a vibrant modern city, Athens has more to offer travellers beyond these timeless attractions.

  5. Chorney-Booth: Give local gifts for tasty holiday cheer

    For many of us, 2020 was the year of going hyper-local for food, both during the holidays and otherwise. The push to support local businesses was strong with so many restaurants and retailers suffering through pandemic-related closures. Many people were laid off and some sectors created new products as side hustles. Consumers got to know locally owned food brands and sharing the local love became seen as a civic duty. Since then, supporting local has become the default for many of us — consumers are choosing to support local businesses and artisans because of convenience, quality, customer service, and simply because it’s the neighbourly thing to do.
