Summer is here!
We're full swing into summer now and we hope you're making the most of it. For Canadians across this country it's a great time of year; even if you love the winter sports, nothing compares to summer in Canada!
This is the time of year when the days are longer and warmer! Many of us will be going to the
lake or to the cottage, or camping with
family and having backyard BBQs with
friends.
This issue of balance we've assembled
a couple of recipes suitable for
summer and some tips for planning
a memorable vacation. We hope
you're enjoying the summer.
