A review of the Elk + Avenue Hotel, one of Banff's most modern and stylish hotels and steps from the quaint streets of downtown Banff.

We love Halloween but with rising number of covid cases in our home city, we agreed to skip trick-or-treating and head to the mountains!

For this year's Thanksgiving, we wandered out to Elk Island National Park for some fresh air and the beautiful changing colours of fall.

This year I decided to spend my birthday weekend at Cold Lake, a city in Alberta's "Lakeland" district, 300km northeast of Edmonton.
