Summer 2024

FROM THE EDITOR

Many of us eagerly awaited the arrival of summer, especially those days at the beach, afternoons of barbeques, and evenings of vibrant nightlife. But more body-conscious folks traditionally dread the onset of those hot months, presenting them with a challenge of how to parade around in fewer layers of clothing than usual.

It’s an issue that this edition’s fashion spread was willing to address. We reveal a selection of summer apparel to accommodate almost all types of physiques. Additionally, those designs, from stripes to florals, received kudos on runways worldwide, providing a motive for more appearance-wary consumers to avoid relegating themselves to the shade this season.

On the other hand, shade is a great way to beat the heat. So is ice cream, hence our look at eight unique cone-topping flavours. But for more ravenous appetites, we suggest a few recipes to try while camping and highlight some unique out-of-town eateries worth visiting.

Speaking of distance, we also offer a rundown of 10 popular beach destinations less than an hour away via car. Closer to home, families looking for an alternative entertainment option might consider screening some flicks in their backyard. We cover the basics. Finally, we chronicle the history of the venerable Perron Street Bridge, due for a makeover this summer.
