By: Karisa Simon Just because travelling is not recommended right now, does not mean that a vacation should be completely off the table. There are still plenty of ways that you can channel the fun and experience of a vacation by having a staycation! Take a short road trip out of town or explore some […]
By: Mrinalini Sundar Since the time I became the Visit Oakville ambassador, the one thing I wanted to do was go on a food crawl across Oakville. With fall upon us, I couldn’t think of a better time to put a twist on this idea and indulge in my own little dessert crawl. From mini […]

It is especially important for me to shop local now, as many small and independently owned businesses are struggling with the loss of regular customers. When I was […]
By: Emilie Lapointe I don’t know about you, but romance in the midst of this pandemic means a lot of disjointed text conversations and video chats – it was a fairly big mood killer to ask every couple of minutes: “Am I still frozen? Can you hear me now?” Luckily, with most businesses and public […]
