Note from our

Editor

OK -- Reason number one I love this magazine.

Pink doesn’t just celebrate women. Pink celebrates women who help other women, and that is something I cannot get enough of.

When editing this month’s issue I was inspired by the women in our cover story, “The Highway Hunnies: Photo by Kiriako Iatridis A Sisterhood on Wheels”. The concept of the club, along with the camaraderie and support for one another, made me want to sport leather and run out and buy a bike just to be ‘in’ with this group of fine ladies.

If that wasn’t enough, Holly Barker’s lifestyle column helped me, too by bringing me back to a time. A time when I actually thought about meals. And about planning. And finally about meal planning.

Thank goodness for these women and their stories that continue to inspire and teach.

I simply love how freely women can share, accept and support one another. It wasn’t always this way though. It took a long learning curve and some major maturing for me to realize that for a long time I shut other women (and sometimes their advice) out. Or, if we didn’t see eye to eye, I brushed off opinions as lacking merit or not being applicable.

Looking back, I blame it on being closed and untrusting. And above all, foolish.

Once I started letting others in and trusting them, I figured it out quickly.

By helping others and allowing others to help me, it allowed for so many more win-win outcomes from everyday life to the workplace.

And with attitudes, egos and assumptions in check, relationships flourished, lessons were learned, insights and many, many laughs were shared.

So how about you? Are you open? Or closed?

The Highway A Sisterhood Hunnies on Wheels

FOR SASKATCHEWAN WOMEN | VOL. 3 ISSUE 10, OCTOBER 2014

When love brought Shelly-Anne Mckay to Regina five years ago, she had no idea that her move would also bring her closer to her other passion: motorcycling.

Mckay now serves as the founder and president of the city’s Highway Hunnies, (www.witwhighwayhunnies.webs.com) an all-female motorcycling group celebrating its first birthday this month. They are one of nearly 100 chapters across North America, Great Britain and Australia affiliated with the International Women in the Wind (WITW; www.womeninthewind.org) organization.

Founded in 1979, WITW was designed to encourage women into motorcycling culture by uniting members in a shared love of the sport, offering education about motorcycle maintenance and safety, and promoting positive messaging about women on motorcycles. This movement has been picking up speed – literally and figuratively – since its launch mere decades ago.

“Though it’s not one of the three points of the international mandate, we also strive to create an uplifting, confidence-building

whelmingly positive and encouraging.

“I can’t get over how many women riders there are out there and the amount of women looking for other women to ride with!

Every time I wear my vest with the [Women in the Wind] crest, I meet people wanting to know what we are all about and how they can join.”

When asked to account for this surge in popularity, Mckay spoke to the longstanding issue of accessibility to a group of this nature in the Regina area. When the Highway Hunnies joined the city’s motorcycle scene, this gap was finally closed.

“Before the Highway Hunnies, groups in Regina were predominantly male or mixed gender,” says Mckay. “The problem was that women didn’t always feel comfortable in those groups, which led to hesitation and a lack of confidence.”

She went on to clarify that issues related to self-confidence were in no way the product of male riders attempting to make their female counterparts feel uneasy or unwelcome. Rather, in the

Saskatchewan truly has some amazing scenery, we have sand dunes, petroglyphs, rolling hills, beautiful lakes and history galore! experience for our riders,” adds Mckay, who is pleased to call the Highway Hunnies a strong and supportive sisterhood.

Her decision to found the chapter was solidified while visiting a WITW rally in Kananaskis, Alberta, during the summer of 2012.

At that time, Mckay was supplementing her full-time office work by selling ladies motorcycle clothing at various events across Western Canada. An avid motorcyclist since the age of 17, Mckay felt an instant and familiar sense of connectedness when she arrived at the rally.

cases of women who were, for example, new to motorcycling, felt uncomfortable traveling at high speeds, or were otherwise self-conscious about their skills and ability, the thought of joining a group of male riders was understandably daunting. The time was right to create a network of female riders interested in learnCommerCial: ConCeptual • presentation • ConstruCtion • Drawings residential: Custom Home Design • renovations

“Every woman [at the rally] was so awesome,” she explains. “It was great to see the bond between these women, and such a rush to watch over two hundred women pull out on their bikes to ride through the mountains together.”

Over the course of the weekend, she befriended a few of the founding members of what is now the Highway Hunnies’ sister chapter, Saskatoon’s Bridge City Thunder (www.bridgecitythunder.com). She was repeatedly encouraged by these women to consider starting a chapter in the Regina area and credits them with providing the kinds of tools, resources, and constant support and availability required to make it happen.

Following her return home from the rally, Mckay’s determination to bring this dream to fruition grew, and shortly thereafter she assembled a team of four local female riders to get the chapter off the ground. Now, one year later, the originating members are astounded by the tremendous growth the Highway Hunnies has experienced in terms of interest, visibility and membership.

“It’s incredible how many women really wanted to be a part of something like this,” says Mckay. “We’re not only here to ride, but also to build a bond.”

Vice-president and fellow motorcycle enthusiast Cara Vindevoghel agreed that the community’s response has been over-

We are a very involved group, fundraising and charity is a huge piece of what we do. We are women helping women! ing more about the sport and earning some new friends and fond memories along the way.

“To me, a sisterhood is a sacred and special group of women who will do anything for each other and who hold each other up with their support and encouragement,” says Vindevoghel. “No matter what you look like or where you come from, the most important thing is to ride our motorcycles and have fun doing so, all while helping each other out down the road of life.”

From this identified need and with a founding group of women united by passion and purpose, the Highway Hunnies chapter was born in October 2013. Mckay’s hard work and dedication allowed her to not only provide a structured forum for likeminded, passionate female riders to come together, but she also secured her place in the local motorcycling community. Women of all ages, levels of experience, and from all walks of life have expressed their gratitude and appreciation for her collaborative, community-driven efforts.

To date, the Highway Hunnies have welcomed 12 full patch members to their group, with several many others participating in monthly rides and other related events. Each year the chapter members schedule two rides per month – one on a weekday and another on a weekend – during the Saskatchewan riding season (April 1 through October 31). While attendance is not mandatory, it is strongly encouraged both to gain experience and proficiency on the road, and to uphold the social aspect of the group. Not only this, but the organized rides also create opportunities to discover the beauty of this province we all call home.

Given that the riding season is so short in Saskatchewan, it is especially important to invest time, effort and care into establishing and maintaining a social connection among members.

Mckay explained that while the province’s winter months do limit the ability to ride, they do not deter the group from finding other ways to come together regularly and have fun. From Christmas gatherings to less traditional “girls nights” involving chicken wings and virtual golf, the group maintains a firm belief in the importance and value of friendship.

“This group is exactly what I have been looking for,” says member Laurie Williams. “I have enjoyed getting to know each and every one of these ladies over this past summer and couldn’t imagine not being a part of this sisterhood.”

Another positive by-product of the Highway Hunnies’ increasing profile in and around Regina is that headway is being made to dispel misconceptions about male and female motorcyclists.

“So many people perceive bikers as big, bad people,” says Mckay. “I can tell you that some of the most giving, caring people I know are bikers. We all share a genuine, caring nature and I think the Highway Hunnies’ existence helps to combat those kinds of bad reputations.”

Furthermore, the WITW movement as a whole has shattered gendered assumptions about motorcycles as “boy toys” or that the sport is not suitable for women. Vindevoghel is thrilled to welcome such a diverse group of women to the Highway Hunnies sisterhood.

“Saskatchewan truly has some amazing scenery,” confirms Vindevoghel. “We have sand dunes, petroglyphs, rolling hills, beautiful lakes and history galore!”

“We are women who have a passion,” she says. “We want to share our excitement and fun! I am excited to see what this great bunch of ladies we have will do and accomplish in the future.”

“We come together under a common goal,” says Mckay, who relishes in opportunities to bring members together for dinners, parties and other social events. “We are thirty classy, professional women out to ride and have a good time. The more the merrier, I say!”

In addition to quarterly member meetings and monthly rides, part of the WITW mandate is to find ways to support women in the community. In 2013, the Highway Hunnies chose to direct their fundraising efforts to support members within their group, as a few were faced with significant personal obstacles and

struggles. With year one now under their belt and membership on the rise, the Highway Hunnies have plans to broaden their fundraising horizons to work in concert with local charities servicing vulnerable and at-risk female populations.

“We are a very involved group,” says Mckay. “Fundraising and charity is a huge piece of what we do. We are women helping women!”

Although Mckay admitted she would have never imagined one day calling Regina home, her experiences with the Highway Hunnies and the community in general, has been enough to convert her into a self-proclaimed “big fan.” Mckay, a native resident of Winnipeg, MB, is humbled by the warm welcoming and constant encouragement she has received from friends, family and even strangers in the years following her relocation. Above all, though, she values the love and support of her husband, a fellow motorcycle fanatic best known by the nickname “Bear.”

When the two are not at work or donating their time and energies to various charitable campaigns, they are likely to be found on the highway, riding side-by-side.

“My hubby is really very supportive,” says Mckay. “He often says how proud I must be of [the Highway Hunnies] and the difference I’ve made. All I can say to that is that each and every one of them has made a difference in my life, too. I feel very grateful to be a part of this group.”

Living Your Healthiest Lifestyle Success: No If ’s, And’s or But’s

with Holly Barker

You have decided to start; you have set goals in place and are on your way toward a lifestyle of health and happiness. Along this path, you will also find the key to youth, and the harmony of energy and beauty of the mind, heart and body.

With anything new, the more you know the better.

One of my favorite quotes from Maya Angelou states, “I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better.” This quote has stayed with me and holds true to all things. But if this is true, how do we not all do better each day? If we care about something, if we set out to achieve something, there is no excuse.

The information to do better, each day, is available to us.

Yet somehow we still fall short on our accountability to stay true to what we want and to stay the course. It’s easy to say we do not have time, or that other things that take priority. And somehow taking care of ourselves is too time consuming, inconvenient and selfish. Does this make sense?

I know when I feel my best, I put my best out into the world. I can think clearly, achieve more and be satisfied at the end of the day. I can live what I teach and be the example I choose to be.

With living my healthiest lifestyle, I have learned the value of knowledge and balance.

There is a reason why you may be tired, grouchy, moody and/or sick. Lifestyle dictates balance and every person is different. But, understanding the reasoning behind your results or lack thereof, is an extremely important step towards achieving a short term target as opposed to a lifetime of health.

With this said, let’s squash some common misconceptions about living your healthiest lifestyle and what it actually takes. This month I will focus on: I am too busy – This can absolutely be the case and I’m not going to lie, a healthy lifestyle takes preparation and commitment. However, the more consistent you are with implementing it into your lifestyle; it does not take away anything. Actually, it allows you to be more efficient with your time and have more energy to do the things you love to do with the people you love! *Preparation: Pre-plan your day and incorporate meals as though they are mini appointments. To avoid the crash and burn or need for a spike of energy, you have to fuel yourself properly throughout the day. That way, you will avoid cravings and find you have energy that lasts, and a clear head to achieve deadlines and finish projects!

Just as though you would pre-plan a movie date with your children, a coffee date with friends, a late night at work or studying, you should also plan 14 |

time to prepare your food. Pick two days a week to cook your proteins, section out carbohydrates, fruit and veggies to have for the week. Pop the cooked proteins in the freezer if you wish, and pull out as you need them or the night before. No need to spend more than five minutes in the morning packing your daily meals -- you will be ready before your coffee even has time to brew. *Invest in a good cooler – There are a lot of great cooler options that you can pack full your meals for the day, no matter where your day takes you. Never leave home without a meal. When we fail to prepare, we make bad decisions based on things we perceive as convenient and, are more than likely to stop and pick up fast processed food, rather than choosing a healthier option. *Leave the ‘processing’ to your kitchen – Stay away from buying things with added sugars, ingredient labels with more than three ingredients listed, or anything in packages with long shelf lives. Add herbs and spices to your own foods, cut up fresh veggies and fruits, and cook things in your own kitchen. This will allow you to know what you are consuming in a day, while staying away from added sugars, will help you avoid cravings. *Measure your food – A lot of us eat healthy, we just may be eating more than our body can use. Track your servings. You will find you are satiated without being full or uncomfortable, and you will consume less. *Stay hydrated – Drink water! Lot’s of it! We crave sugar when we are dehydrated. *Schedule your meals – Set a timer on your phone to let you know you it’s time to eat. Eat a meal every 2-3 hours throughout the day. *Get your sleep – Sleep means growth, regeneration and recharging.

Remember, all changes require time and effort before they become habit. Pre-planning and meal preparation will be a bit of an adjustment, but you will end up loving it. Plus you will find multiple new ways to use Tupperware while creating new and exciting clean meals to fuel throughout the day!

Your energy, change and commitment to the lifestyle will be all the talk at school, the office, the staff room or wherever you are. You will become a source of motivation for others to start living their healthiest lifestyle too! Motivating others is also powerful motivation for you to keep going!

You rock! <3 Next up … implementing training into your routine and busy schedule while living your healthiest lifestyle, AND maintaining a social life.

Getting Your Guy Groomed

By Colten Primeau from Visions Salon and Spa, Saskatoon

It’s always an interesting conversation when bringing up grooming with your significant other, whether it’s a new haircut, nail care or body hair removal.

It’s something to tackle head on but with some diplomacy. Most men like honesty but our egos can be easily bruised. That’s why when discussing grooming; it’s all about the phrasing.

Try starting with something like “You’d look even more attractive if you got your chest waxed,” instead of “Your chest hair is gross; you should really deal with that.”

Try to make your guy know it’s about enhancing his appearance, not that he isn’t attractive enough without it.

Also keep in mind, if it’s something new it may be scary for him, so helping him find a stylist of esthetician who specializes in men’s grooming would be helpful. As would, booking a consultation for him, so he can get a feel for the spa worker and service before committing. Most of all, be sure it’s something you both feel comfortable with and don’t force the issue if it’s not.

Colten comes to Visions with 9 years esthetics experience and 5 years experience as a hair stylist! Colten showed an interest in the beauty industry at a young age when he started as an esthetics assistant in a salon at 13 years old! He then went on to receive certification for both esthetics and hair styling. Colten specializes in men’s waxing services and grooming.

He has developed his passion over the years, continually upgrading his education on new techniques and trends. Most recently he attended the Surface Hair New Beginnings international education with Wayne Grund and the Surface Hair team of educators.

Colten’s talents ensure a complete styling experience from head to toe, including the tools to recreate your salon look at home. His goal is for you to leave happy, feeling refreshed and beautiful.

NEW YORK FASHION WEEK S/S 2015 ROUNDUP

By Sara Lindsay

In September, I had the opportunity to join the Aveda makeup team led by Global Director, Janell Geason, backstage for the Spring/Summer 2015 season, at New York Fashion Week.

It was an amazing experience and a strike off of my bucket list. I had the chance to meet and work with some very talented artists, stylists, artists and models from all over the world.

I also found myself working backstage at some really fabulous venues. Milk Studios and Lincoln Centre played host to many designers and were two absolute highlights for me. Pyer Moss at Milk Studios did a presentation which featured musician Usher in the lineup, which was a very cool surprise. The hair team led by Jon Reyman created a modern version of a blown out pompadour with a smooth texture and a slight sheen. Makeup featured perfected skin with a natural contour under the cheekbone with minimal powder.

Another very cool show was Concept Korea, where three of Korea’s best designers featured a collective at Lincoln Centre. The hair was slicked back and glossy and the makeup was one of my favourite looks of the week. The girls had luminous skin with brushed up full, naturally shaded brows, monochromatic cheeks and lips of pretty pinky coral. The colour was slight and fresh, creating a beautiful healthy, glowing finish which presented very clean and modern on the runway.

Leann Marshall and Marlon Gobel were other notable designers whose shows I loved working on; making my experience definitely a good one. Working with Aveda was wonderful- they set a really calm and positive tone, which made working in a potentially very stressful setting, a real joy.

I thrive on high pressure situations, so I was completely in my element with supportive people all around. One of the best parts of my experience was being able to share it with Saskatoon Aveda salon owner, artist and friend Alicia Soulier.

New York Fashion Week was busy, fast paced and everything I ever imagined it would be. I would be thrilled to go back some day.

For more in depth information, I offer private makeup lessons at my studio.

Melissa and Leah offer full Aveda hair services in studio to complement all makeup services.

#StyleliveSHere wearing your heart on your sleeve

By Michelle Strawford

Being a retail business owner, I am always in search of the perfect new fashion line. There is nothing better than connecting with one so full of style, passion, comfort, and maybe best of all, one which shares a message reflecting something you are truly passionate about.

Fashion has always been about showcasing your personality through what you wear. Today’s style trends takes it even further with apparel baring quotes such as ‘My life story will be a good one’, ‘Give up on giving up’ and ‘Pets are humans too’. Bridging fashion with raising awareness and funds for life threatening illnesses makes for a sure win in my book.

The Good hYOUman line was created by Brett Novak who started the company in memory of his father who passed away from Lymphoma. The company bases its line on the fact that everyone has a story – so why not share it on your sleeve?

Ten percent of all proceeds from the clothing line help those diagnosed with Leukemia and Lymphoma. The Good hYOUman line also assists other charities who are working to raise awareness and funds to make a difference.

The collection’s inspirational quotes are based on being a good person and treating people well. Good hYOUman says it best with, “YOUniting hYOUmanity by sharing the stories that make us hYOUman”.

Bella Chic is thrilled to carry the Good hYOUman collection. Get your first shirt of many now at www.bellachic.ca.

Youth Ballet and ContemporarY danCe of SaSkatchewan and the Youth Ballet companY

Michelle McMillan was first introduced to the Youth Ballet back in November of 2007, just after moving to Saskatchewan. “I made a difficult decision to stop performing professionally. I was ready to start a new phase in my life, and hoped to start a family.”

Michelle decided to pursue teaching because her dance teachers had such a strong and profound impact on her life. “I have so many fond memories from the years I spent 20 |

FOR SASKATCHEWAN WOMEN | VOL. 3 ISSUE 10, OCTOBER 2014

learning to dance. I was doing the thing I loved most, in a place where I truly felt like I could be myself. I was surrounded by wonderful teachers that inspired me and encouraged me to grow.”

At the young age of 13, Michelle lost her mom in a tragic car accident. “My faith in God and my love of dance were two important things that helped me through the difficult years ahead. I had my family at home, but I also had my dance family. Dance was now a creative outlet to help me heal, and my teachers continued to be a source of positivity, encouragement and guidance. It was their belief in me that helped me fulfill my dream to become a professional dancer.”

Now as a teacher, I hope to help my students find the courage to follow their passions, to believe in themselves, and to persevere through the difficult times.

Each spring, young dancers from ages 13-18 audition for the Youth Ballet Company of Saskatchewan, a Pre-Professional Performing Company. This season’s repertoire is unique as we are featuring Classical Indian Dance called Kathak. The first half of our show is set in India, featuring ballet choreography that is both classical and infused with Asian elements. The second half of the show will take you on a journey from Asia over to North America through Modern Dance.

Youth Ballet Company is presenting “East to West” on November 21st and 22nd at University Theatre, Riddell Centre, UofR. Tickets are available at Bach and Beyond, Golden Mile; Dancers Den, 1630 Albert Street and at Youth Ballet Office, 1106 McNiven Ave. For more information, contact Youth Ballet office at (306) 352-9908 Photos By: Richard Avram | Chandra Nauth-Misir

How to think about light, layout, circulation and more for the bedroom of your dreams.

Have you ever been in a room that just feels right? Nine times out of ten, it’s because it has a simple design that functions well.

But creating a simple design is harder than it looks — particularly in bedrooms.

Why? Because every bedroom absolutely has to have a bed in it.

And beds are big and ungainly,, and dictate the placement of every other object in the room. You control the other elements and create a space that’s both practical and pretty when you’re planning a bedroom from scratch or remodelling an existing bedroom.

The bedrooms shown here manage that feat with panache. Even if you don’t have a great view, access to the outdoors or plenty of space to work with, the principles they embody and the simplicity they show can inspire your own bedroom design project.

Because the bedroom is one of the simplest rooms in the house, it’s often overlooked. One of the first steps to a great bedroom design is having an efficient and well-designed floor plan. This gives you everything you want — no matter how much space you start with.

Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your bedroom.

1. Simple circulation. Try to keep your circulation on to one side of the room. Hotels do a great job of this. There’s a reason 90

W

e have taken up the role of modernizing the California Modern, Cape Code, Craftsman, Saltbox, American Foursquare and Modern architectural styles, and promoting an appealing affordable living option for middle-class families. Rather than reproducing traditional homes, gjConstructs refigures the design to include modern amenities to address your demands for increased privacy and up to date technology.

Simplicity, functionality and livability remain prevalent features of Gary’s updated designs.

percent of hotels have the same floor plan: because it’s simple and it works.

Circulation plans become a little more challenging with en suite rooms (bedrooms with bathrooms attached) or bedrooms that have doors to the outside.

To save on space, pay attention to where you locate the bedroom’s bathroom and closet in your bedroom. Rooms that have bathroom or closet access before the sleeping area require a longer hall. If you organize the circulation so the bathroom and closet are accessed through the sleeping area, you don’t need a separate hall.

You can add the circulation space into the room while making it feel larger, too.

2. Focus on the view. A bedroom always feels nicer when the first thing you experience is a pleasant view out the window. As opposed to a view looking out straight at the bed. If you’re designing a new bedroom or reworking an old one, try to coming up with a layout that focuses on the vista. Whether it’s something as stunning as a lake or as simple as your backyard.

3. Keep privacy in mind. It’s always nice when you can leave the bedroom door open without forsaking your privacy. The small foyer in this example provides separation from the family room. I always try to avoid designing a layout in which you look straight into the bedroom from a more public space, like a great room, kitchen or family room.

4. Connect with the outdoors. While this might not be workable in all climates, connecting a room with the outdoors is a great way to make the space feel larger and admit more natural light. If your bedroom is on the ground floor (or is on the second story and has an adjacent terrace), adding a set of French doors can instantly increase visual space.

5. Consider the furniture layout. Your bedroom’s architecture should take your furniture into account. Bedroom floor plans usually have a bed wall — but what about dressers, night stands, televisions, chairs and a desk? Work with your designer to make sure there is enough space beside the bed for night stands and ample circulation so you can access three sides of the mattress.

6. Increase light and ventilation. Locating your bedroom at the corner of your home can give you windows on two or more adjacent walls. This also gives you provides the added benefit of cross ventilation and a softer natural light.

7. Take your time. Great design takes a while and usually requires refining before you come upcoming up with the perfect plan for to suit your lifestyle. Don’t rush through the design. It’s worth taking a little extra time up front to make sure you have both an efficient and functional plan in the end.

The truth is, great design doesn’t necessarily mean a space that’s overly complex and expensive to build. A space that functions better, costs less to build, is more efficient to run, and is easier to maintain can be an outstanding example of great design. © Gary Weisbrodt Added Reading • BLOG Design Matters Details Matter: gjconstructs.wordpress.com • Facebook: Search “gjConstructs” • Home: gjconstructs.weebly.com • LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/gjconstructs • Houzz: houzz.com/pro/garyweisbrodt Contact 306 351-0907 gjconstructs@mac.com FOR SASKATCHEWAN WOMEN | VOL. 3 ISSUE 10, OCTOBER 2014 | 25

five stops for family fun in the rockies

By Jenn Smith-Nelson

Where prairies meet mountains; visiting the neighboring Canadian Rockies is a trip that every Saskatchewanian should experience. From bustling city to unwavering mountains, glacier waters and pristine parklands, a trip through the Rockies promises adventure and beauty. Loads of beauty. Here are my five suggestions for family fun and adventure along the way.

Make a day of it at Calgary’s Heritage Park Take a walk back in time when things were simpler. This living historical attraction is one the whole family will enjoy. Boasting 180 attractions and exhibits, see how Western Canadians lived from the 1860s-1950s. In this instance, I promise old certainly doesn’t equal boring. The kids will love all the entertaining costumed interpreters; heading to the old candy shop to pick out sweets or make ice cream the old fashioned way; riding all the old-time carnival rides and checking out all the animals on the grounds. TIP: Plan for a full day visit. There is so much to see and do. And, don’t miss riding the train. www.heritagepark.ca Head to the top of a mountain via horseback in Kananaskis Boundary Ranch is the perfect stop for a first time trail ride.

Look out for abundant wildlife while taking in scenic views of alpine meadows and of course, the magnificent Rockies via horseback! TIP: Choose a one or two hour ride if travelling with young kids – any longer may be hard especially if it’s their first time. www.boundaryranch.com Stretch your legs out and breathe in fresh mountain air with a hike at Sunshine Meadows.

Located between Banff and Jasper, take in a 1.5 km hike to Rock Isle Lake. This is a great introductory trail and manageable for kids (over 5) or beginners. Taking about 45 minutes to an hour each way, you will pass through open vistas, alpine covered meadows while admiring mountain views. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife such as pine martens, prairie dogs, wolves and grizzlies. TIP: For hiking newbies or nervous parents, your best bet is to hire a guide to hike along with you.

Peace of mind can be enjoyed with the safety, knowledge and direction of an area expert. www.skibanff.com 30 |

Canoeing on Lake Louise The best way to take in the iconic majesty of one of Canada’s most beautiful spots is on it! Rent a canoe from the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise and work your way around the jeweled turquoise lake at whatever speed you desire. Rest assured the canoes are quite large and pretty stable, so the likelihood of falling in is slim. TIP: Aim for the morning to try avoid scores of tourists. And note the maximum number of people in a canoe is three adults or two adults and two children under 55 lbs. www.fairmont.com/lake-louise Jasper: Columbia Ice Fields and Glacier Skywalk Adventure Standing on 200 million tons of ice, 900 feet thick and 18,00035,000 years old (from the Wisconsin ice age) is quite a trip, especially in the summer. Your kids will be in awe as they are suddenly whisked away onto an icy glacier, with a temperature around 0 Celsius. Be sure to take an empty water bottle and fill it fresh glacier water. Then, head back and take a short bus ride from the terminal station to check out the very impressive, new attraction: the Glacier Skywalk, where the only thing separating you from the glacier formed valley and waterfalls below is the 918 feet glass-floored observation platform. TIP: Wear appropriate footwear for the glacier for and go as early as possible to both. The crowds grow significantly throughout the day. www.brewster.ca Read more about Jenn’s travels at www.travelandhappiness.com.

TECH UPDATE iPhone 6 vs. 6 Plus

By Jamaal Rashid

5.5 inch screen and a resolution of 1920 X 1080. With the enhanced capabilities of the retina HD in the iPhone 6Plus, watching a movie on is a refreshing experience.

It is not out of the ordinary to continue to think the introduction of a new cell-phone is just another way for providers to take extend their hands into consumer pockets. To be honest, I hate contractual agreements especially when dealing with cell-phone providers. However it doesn’t have to be a cut throat agreement if you’re looking to get that new iPhone while still stuck with the current one. Kijiji Regina and Used Regina are great tools to help market your device.

By now we are have all heard the big news, the new iPhones are in town! The number one question oneveryone’s mind is whether the purchase is worth the price tag?

Last year I wrote about theiPhone5s and iPhone 5c and I gave them a somewhat mediocre review. The previous generation iPhone didn’t really bring the intended spark to the smart-phone industry the world was expecting. The introduction of the new Touch ID sensor was very beneficial though, and I’m sure most of you use it on a daily basis; but there was still something missing.

This year we received quite a treat; a new iPhone that doesn’t conform to Apple norms. An iPhone that truly is looking at its competitors and saying “well it’s time for a change”; and changes they have made! The new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are arguably two of the most influential products in the market today.

Last year with the introduction of the Touch ID, we could foresee what the future held. The devices provide a secure method of payment through ‘Apple pay’; a function which stores your credit card information using your iTunes account, and encrypts them by linking it to your fingerprint. It may not be the way of the future just yet; however Apple is diversifying customer options using the fingerprint sensor magnifying your shopping experience.

Manufacturers have invested heavily in the functionality of its sharp displays which have turned out to be the main competing ground amongst leading cell-phone developers. Unfortunately Apple has done this to only one of their phones. The iPhone 6 boasts a 4.7 inch retina display that doesn’t provide much change to its predecessor; however it still boasts a 1334 X 750 resolution at 326 PPI. The real kicker is the iPhone 6Plus, with its

Due to customer variations and phone preferences, there’s still hope of selling your phone for an amount of money that overrides your new iPhone. Calculate how much your new phone will cost by talking with your provider and see how much you have to dish out to get that new phone. By selling your old phone, you may potentially find that you could easily pay for the early upgrade fee.

With hundreds of new hardware changes and software updates, I’m sure this phone will appeal to almost anyone. As a loyal android user, I try to keep myself away from any biased opinions by looking at any device in an objective manner. I expect all my readers to do the same. Apple is just another company creating great products. Samsung, HTC, LG and Nokia among hundreds of others all bringsomething unique to the table. Shop around and find what best suits you.
