Hiked Robertson Cliffs two weeks ago and I think it was the perfect timing before the end of fall, which I think is inching closer by the day 🥺
This was such a gorgeous view, as someone who’s never really experienced fall before, seeing so much beauty was overwhelming!! Can’t wait to go next year, albeit once I’m a bit more fit— the extra strength is necessary to enjoy the hike up hill!

Hi everyone! Now that Spaces will be opening its doors to more people, I thought I should introduce myself on here! 💗
I’m Mariyah, and I was a content writer/educator back home, but I’m currently an English major at AlgomaU and moved to Canada to learn cool things from people with different experiences- I’m glad to have this opportunity. My husband and I moved to the Soo from my favourite island ever, my home, Sri Lanka. 🏝️ We’ve been …

Winter Preparation Information Session was well received last night by our newcomer attendees. Present were persons from Nigeria, Dominica, Trinidad and Tobago, Brazil and Jamaica.
Our presenter Liz speared no details as she told the attendee about the cold and how they should prepare for it properly.
Proper clothing and footwear goes a long way !
Thank you Liz

On every corner, you can find a new story; on every plate, an irresistible fusion of flavors. This diversity not only enriches the local culture but also teaches everyone …
