I stopped into the Wild Earth Bakery one day by accident when the line-up at Route 99 was too long for my liking. I needed something fast to quell my mood-debilitating hunger, and I lucked out here at Wild Earth, where the make a quick, mean egg, ham…More »

Oh yeah - HealthFare rocks. If you like eating out or you often grab food on the run, but you don't want to compromise healthy eating, this is a great place for yummy, delicious food.

  Update - 2/17/2009

I revisited Urban Retreat a couple of weeks ago after receiving a telephone call from its owner. She had read my mixed review of her establishment's services on Yelp, and wanted to invite me back for another try.

I was impressed, not only by the…More »

    I give mixed reviews to Urban Retreat. I've been here for a few treatments: a couple of massages,… Read more »

This indoor climbing facility is cheaper than Vertically Inclined in the southside, but it's not as big and the hours aren't as good. However, if you're a student and don't have much money, then this is pretty much the only place you can really…More »

When I spent four days in Victoria I ate here almost every day. It is an amazing cafe that sells soul food for people who love food and care what they put in their body. ReBar is so well-loved they sell their own cookbook of recipes served up…More »

The small spa located at the back of a health store is geared toward natural beauty treatments. They use organic skin products, and integrate the holistic, mind-body philosophy into their services. I found the front receptionist lovely to deal with,…More »

Big isn't necessarily better. Emily Murphy Park Road is one of my favourite city parks. It's located in the heart of the river valley, and so gets lots of afternoon sun exposure, so it's great for a summer afternoon picnic or game of volleyball or…More »

I'm always on the lookout for a cafe that has free Internet - and if it's got great coffee and healthy eats too, it's a writer's away-from-home Mecca. Open seven days a week and located close to the university, this is a great spot to unwind, grab…More »

It was such a brilliant idea to put a place like this in a student mall at the university. The HUB mall is literally a hub for thousands of students everyday, the majority of which spend a lot of time stressed, sitting in front of a computer and…More »

Whether you are a new or long practicing student or a local teacher, the YAA is a great hub for learning about yoga workshops in your area. Their business space is really just a few cubicles put together at the Percy Page Centre, where a large number…More »
