John Candy may no longer be with us, but he's still Canada's national treasure. Amongst his raunchy '80s peers, the Second City comedy alumnus had a gift. His warmth never failed to give us a smile when he appeared on-screen. His best films built on that endlessly loving part of Candy, turning him into an honorary family member, a silly babysitter for our darker days.Despite his comedy prowess, his dramatic roles made us look at him in a new light. When he died in 1994 at 43, we lost decades of potential work where we could have deepened his craft....

Geminid meteor shower chart for 2022. Notice that the Geminids’ radiant point, and the moon, are close together in Earth’s sky.

Love it or hate it, Byron is bigger these days—which means there are plenty of A-class restaurants around town. ...

There are so many fantastic things to do in Protaras. While the town is best known for its long, white sandy beaches and resorts, there are lots of other fantastic things to do that don’t involve those beautiful beaches besides. Explore the ocean, splash around in the water park, or enjoy the famous nightlife of nearby Ayia Napa. The possibilities are almost endless in Protaras. I spent around 4 months in Cyprus as a digital nomad. If I wanted to relax, enjoy the beach and a few cocktails, Protaras is where I’d choose to go. It’s such a fun and...

​​Gold lured prospectors west to the Rocky Mountains in the mid-1800s. Nowadays, prospects seek vacation gold. Thanks to a heritage that includes dinosaurs, the Gold Rush, the railway, and cowboys; a vibrant downtown; and a gorgeous natural setting providing abundant outdoor activities, there’s no shortage of things to do in Golden, Colorado. Located in the Rocky Mountain foothills, roughly a half hour west of Denver, aptly named Golden invites browsing art galleries, exploring historic landmarks, and hiking or biking the trails of Golden Gate Canyon State Park and the Table Mountains.  Clear Creek In Winter (credit: Sam Hille) Every season brings another...
