Canadian Hotspots

Eventually from Coast to Coast - for now, just places I've had the pleasure of traveling to.

1. Victoria International Airport

1640 Electra Blvd
North Saanich, BC V8L 5V4
(250) 953-7508

Category: Airports

8/9/2010

It's quiet, it's friendly, there was NO lineup at either the check in or security (4pm on a Monday) and there's some pretty foliage on the main floor of the terminal. It almost looks like a small park complete with tweeting birds INSIDE drinking from…More »

101-120 4th St
Tofino, BC V0R 2Z0
(250) 725-2215

Category: Canadian (New)

8/18/2010

It's been days and I swear I can still taste the chocolate cake on my tongue. Service is slow and the space is small - so overhearing servers conversations is pretty easy to do, and not super pleasant when you're celebrating or just enjoying an…More »

3. Mussel Beach

Mussel Beach
Ucluelet, BC
(250) 893-2267

Category: Campgrounds

8/11/2010 First to Review

You can't get further away than Mussel Beach - which makes for a perfect "powering down" time without the loss of cell reception of course.

Mussel Beach is a trek - 20 minutes down a gravel road once you head south towards Ucuelet, which means only…More »

4. Kawa Espresso Bar

1333 8 St SW
Calgary, AB T2P
(403) 452-5233

Category: Coffee & Tea

8/15/2010

Should I share that they are brewing 49th Parallel (from Vancouver) AND that they have Montreal style bagels? Or that the space is perfect for a work camp out, complete with quick WiFi.

Of course, I should tell all, but I think the moment that turned…More »

Toronto, ON M6J 1J6
(416) 531-4635

Categories: Hotels, Lounges

Neighbourhoods: West Queen West, Beaconsfield Village

11/25/2010

What makes me like the Gladstone and love The Drake even more? The fact that it was The Drake who suggested I stay at the Gladstone on my most recent Toronto trip. It was love at first *lift.* Certainly, there's no denying that the elevator is small…More »

6. Le Petit Hotel

168, rue St-Paul Ouest
Montréal, QC H2Y 1Z7
(514) 940-0360

Category: Hotels

1/22/2011

Some hotels feel stuffy and formal. Some hotels feel old and worn. Some hotels have no character at all... But Le Petit Hotel feels JUST RIGHT.

There's something about walking into a room that is both minimal and modern yet comfortable. Yup, I could…More »

7. The Walrus Magazine

Category: Print Media

Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core

12/16/2011

Sorry, I just subscribed for a second year to The Walrus*. *The Walrus is the only magazine I subscribe to. I suppose that says something about how high my regard for them is. I kind of see it as my salute to Canadiana. Some people watch Hockey Night…More »
