Our two homes features will transport you to a 1950s windmill-turned-home by entrepreneur Mandy Rennehan in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, and a family cottage that expanded to fit a family of seven in Souris, Prince Edward Island.
Sharing food and clinking glasses outdoors with family and friends is one of the best parts of the season. In our “Eating In” section, Valerie Mansour shows you how to barbecue pizza (with recipes from Mother’s Pizza in Halifax) and libations expert Craig Pinhey highlights the abundance of wild fruit wines made in Atlantic Canada.
