Q& A

This month we asked our contributors, How are you planning to make the most of this summer?

The perfect summer to me is a mix of sunshine, patios and good company. I plan on making the most of mine by enjoying lots of each. I’m very lucky to live in the beautiful Okanagan, where a winery or a stellar hiking trail to explore is never too far away.

Because I’m spending the summer in Madeira Park, it means that on any given weekend you can find me on the rope swing at Hotel Lake, hutto- hut hiking the Sunshine Coast Trail or sipping cider on one of the locals’ boats (I just have to trick them into taking me out first).

Behind the Scenes

Aman Dosanj preps Okanagan pears for dessert in the orchard—at the same dinner you’ll see on our cover this month. Dosanj started her Sourced dinner series to highlight both local produce and her Indo- Canadian heritage. Read all about it, starting on page 52.
