What experience most epitomizes Ontario summers? For me, walking barefoot outside is a top contender. That carefree feeling of stepping out the door without slipping on shoes is a pleasure I never tire of. As we enter this glorious season, what do you most look forward to? In this issue, perhaps we can inspire you to try some new ideas (or resurrect old ones) to make the most of all that Oakville, Burlington and surrounding areas have to offer.

Gaze out on Lake Ontario any summer weekend and you’ll see paddleboards and kayaks gliding across its glimmering surface. Ever get the urge to join them? We break down the differences between these water sports to give you the nudge to give one (or both) a try. If you prefer your feet firmly planted on steady ground, Bronte is the ideal setting for lakeside shopping, strolling, dining and live music. Keep the Bronte Summer Guide handy. There’ s something new every week!

We love our backyards. Who needs to go out if you have an oasis out the back door? Adding a swim spa can elevate it even more. In this issue, learn about the compact pool that offers the fitness benefits of a fulllength pool with the therapeutic benefits of a hot tub. But for the simplest of backyard pleasures, nothing beats the outdoor grill. Burgers and steak on the barbecue are favourites, sure, but this is the perfect time to add some surf. Read up on how to season and grill seafood, plus tips on what to buy for the freshest flavours.

Summers are ripe for making great memories, whether it’s organized events like volunteering as a family (we’ve got great ideas in this issue), or chilling by the pool with a cold beer. Heck, even our pooches are happier – though any dog owner can confirm that dogs are always in good spirits. It’s one of the reasons they’re so good for us. Read all about the benefits our beloved furry family members bring us, as well as tips on keeping them healthy through the warm months.

Wishing you and your family a wonderful summer at home, and by the lake!

You may not be able to perform cannonballs or run around the deck screaming Marco Polo, but the swim spa may be the next best thing to the backyard swimming pool. It combines a swimming pool’s fitness benefits with a hot tub’s hydrotherapy. And while the swim spa may be perceived as a backyard luxury item, it is considerably less expensive than putting in an inground pool and can accommodate any size yard.

Swim spas contain a jet system allowing you to swim in place, eliminating the need to do laps in a full-size pool. The movement of the water creates a counter-current to mimic the sensation of swimming in the river or ocean so you can exercise within a much smaller area. The jet system also provides the relaxation and therapy of a hot tub with the ability to adjust the temperature within a few hours. Hydrotherapy delivers deep relaxation to muscles, promotes stress reduction, and helps reduce the symptoms of chronic pain conditions like arthritis and fibromyalgia. With a swim spa, you can improve your physical and mental well-being all in one system.

NOT ALL SWIM SPAS ARE CREATED EQUAL

If you search “swim spa” on the internet, you will see a long list of options and styles, including their ability to be used yearround. “All-weather pools are designed and built for the Canadian climate. Not all swim spas are,” says Aaron Pilon, VP of sales and marketing at Arctic Spas. “Pools must be tested for long durations and consider fluctuating temperatures, not just extreme cold. Not all manufacturers understand the Canadian winter.”

It’s not unusual in Ontario to see -20 C one week and above zero the next. A pool system not designed and insulated properly will not protect against fluctuating temperatures, causing materials to expand and contract. Over time, this can damage the pool causing costly repairs.

The design and fit of the cover also play a critical role in maintaining the pool temperature in winter and help keep energy costs down.

CHOOSING YOUR PERFECT SPA

Swim spas come in various sizes and styles, but choosing one can be complicated without some helpful guidelines. If you’re researching a swim spa for your family, consider these tips:

20 Look Local Volume 11 | Issue 5

• Clarify what exercises you can do in the swim spa. Some models can install rowing bars or require a tether to keep you in place while swimming. Also, understand what can be adjusted, such as the resistance of the water current, the jets’ water pressure, and the pool’s jet arrangement.

• “Be sure to inquire about the pool’s construction and how it is designed for the Canadian climate,” says Pilon. “A good salesperson will walk you through the design of the pool, not just its features.” Also, ask about the heating system and how long you can expect the pool to take when heating to hot tub temperatures.

• Consider pool maintenance and whether there’s a self-regulating saltwater option. Traditional chemicals can cost both time and money. Do filters need to be changed, and how often? Ask where the swim spa is made and the manufacturer’s warranty, and check Google reviews.

A swim spa may be the perfect addition to your backyard offering unending outdoor family fun, a full-body workout and a therapeutic soak any time of year.

Paddle Board vs. Kayak

Just for Fun
22
Look Local Volume 11 | Issue 5
- CHOOSE YOUR RIDE

hen it comes to getting out on the water this summer, two popular water sports stand out: kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding (SUP).

I took up kayaking when my kids were young. At the time, it was less “sport” and more “escape.” Never underestimate the paddle power of a mom looking for an hour of solitude.

More recently I tried stand-up paddle boarding. After a few spectacular backflips (to the delight of those watching from the beach), I eventually got the hang of it. However, even if you feel like a pro, never brag about how easy it is. If you do, an unexpected wave will come for you. Your sunglasses will end up at the bottom of Lake Ontario and your husband will mutter, “I told you so,” under his breath.

A friend asked me if I had to choose SUP or kayaking, which would it be? First of all, what kind of question is that? That’s the Sophie’s Choice of water sports. I adore them both equally. Each has unique characteristics and are the perfect way to explore nature and move your body.

W

NOTE TO SELF: Order one of those buoyant sunglass holder neck-straps and a waterproof phone pouch.

Fortunately, we don’t need to make such a difficult choice. There are plenty of opportunities to try both. So let’s dive into the exhilarating world of SUP and kayaking and compare their level of exercise, speed, learning curve, cost and a few local paddling spots.

EXERCISE LEVEL

SUP engages your entire body, especially your core (and muscles you never even knew existed). The constant balancing act on the board adds an element of stability training. Kayaking provides an excellent upper body workout, focusing on your arms, back and shoulders. Exertion levels for both sports can vary from intense, depending on how hard you paddle, to downright leisurely. FYI... it’s easier to pack (and conceal) a book and a bag of chips in a kayak versus a SUP.

SPEED

Kayaks are designed for efficient gliding through the water, allowing you to cover more distance in less time. Stand-up paddle boarding, though not generally as quick, allows for a pace that’s perfect for taking in the surrounding scenery and enjoying a more relaxed experience on the water.

LEARNING CURVE

Both SUP and kayaking have relatively easy entry points, but do require some degree of technique. You may need a bit more practice to find your balance (tell me about it) and develop a comfortable stance on your SUP.

“SUP has taken the world by storm for very good reason,” says Maria Gerow from Burlington Beach Rentals. “It offers a unique vantage point to see into the waters below you and allows you to explore almost any waterway with ease.”

Balance is less of a concern when kayaking, making it more accessible for beginners. Inflatable kayaks, though more affordable and easier to store and transport, can be more sluggish in the water and trickier to handle than hard kayaks.

COST

SUPs and kayaks can vary in price, depending on the quality and features. Both sports offer rental options, which can be a more affordable way to “test the waters” before purchasing your own equipment.

“With all things water, have fun, but be safe,” says AJ Leeming, senior manager, programs & services Conservation Halton. “Have a plan, always tell someone you’re going out, and have the proper equipment to do so safely so you can do it all again another day.”

Know BEFORE You Go

THERE’S A SPOT FOR YOU IN BRONTE

Bronte has hundreds of free and paid parking spots waiting for you. Take a minute before you leave home to know where to park your car (or bike!) once you arrive for your visit.

FREE MUNICIPAL PARKING LOT

Bronte has a large municipal lot off Ontario Street with plenty of free spots. There’s no time limit, but parking isn’t allowed overnight. It’s located steps from the beautiful waterfront, but also just three blocks from local stores, cafés and restaurants. Park here and take the scenic route to the commercial district!

PAID MUNICIPAL PARKING LOT (FREE AFTER 6PM, SUNDAYS & HOLIDAYS)

New this summer, The Town of Oakville has opened a paid

municipal lot just west of Bronte Road on Lakeshore Road West at the inner-harbour. Park here and enjoy a quick walk to the commercial district where you can shop, dine and explore.

ON-STREET PAID PARKING (FREE AFTER 6PM, SUNDAYS & HOLIDAYS)

Bronte has curbside paid parking throughout the district. These parking spaces help promote turnover and ensure there are spaces for customers of nearby businesses. Look for the pay-byplate machines or use the HONK mobile app to make it even easier.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS

Bronte is home to two electric vehicle charging stations. Located on Bronte Road at Marine Drive and on Ontario Street at Nelson Street, two vehicles can charge at the same time at each station.

PRIVATE PARKING LOTS

Many businesses have free parking in their commercial lots. These are privately owned and for customers only of the adjacent stores, restaurants and businesses while on the premises. Look for signage and check with the business you’re visiting to ensure you’ve parked in the right spot. While these lots might be empty, don’t be tempted. The cost of towing isn’t worth it!

They might be known as man’s best friend, but there are many reasons dogs make great pets for all members of the family.

THE ULTIMATE PLAYMATE

Every child at some point probably begs for a dog. While parents may be worried about the added responsibility and expense, a dog can provide your child with endless hours of entertainment and companionship. Want to keep the kids away from screens? Taking their favourite playmate to the park for a game of fetch may just be the way.

TEACH RESPONSIBILITY

Taking care of a pet is a simple way to teach children the concept of responsibility – and it’s a lot more fun than washing dishes. Basic tasks, such as feeding the dog or giving the dog a bath, can help instill a sense of caring for another living being and reinforces the importance of being reliable.

LOWER STRESS

A dog can actually put your family in a better mood. Studies have shown dogs can have a calming effect on humans by reducing levels of cortisol (the hormone that makes us feel stressed) and by increasing oxytocin (the feel-good hormone). Dogs provide companionship to kids which can help lower anxiety. This is especially valuable to those who struggle socially with human peers.

KEEP YOUR FAMILY ACTIVE

Having a family pup helps improve your family’s health. All those walks around the block mean it’s not just your dog getting exercise, but you too! Just 30 minutes of walking every day can improve your cardiovascular fitness and reduce your risk of developing heart disease.

The best perk of all is the unconditional love and loyalty our dogs give us. Is it any wonder we consider them a part of the family?

SUMMER SAFETY FOR

YOUR DOG

While our pups love joining us on summer adventures, the heat can be dangerous for our four-legged friends. Keep these tips in mind when having fun in the sun.

COOL PUPS

“Dogs need to have access to shade and cool, fresh water when they are spending time outside in the summer,” says Dr. Dianna Stewart, DVM at Orchard Animal Hospital in Burlington. If your dog is panting excessively with a very wide, flat tongue hanging out that could be a sign of overheating. If overheating worsens, your dog could become weak or unsteady on their feet. Their gums may turn bright red or even bluish purple.

If your pet is exhibiting these symptoms, remove them from the heat and offer cool water immediately. “You do not want to cool too quickly, so avoid very cold water or ice,” says Stewart. For more serious symptoms of possible heat stroke such as collapse or loss of consciousness, see a veterinarian.

PREVENTION

Heartworm season is June to November, and preventing this potentially fatal disease is essential – especially if you spend a lot of time on trails and in fields. Flea and tick prevention is recommended year-round, but especially from spring to fall.

72 Look Local Volume 11 | Issue 5

HOT PAWS

Walking on hot pavement can cause paws to burn. If the sidewalk is hot to the touch, Stewart recommends walking on grass or trails. “If a dog’s paws are getting too hot, they often start ‘dancing’ and trying to pick their feet up as they walk,” she says. Check your pup’s feet for burns which usually look raw and may bleed.

GROOMING

Certain breeds may require more grooming in the summer. “Shedding dogs may benefit from a thorough de-shedding groom at the beginning of the summer to fully remove that dense winter undercoat,” says Stewart. Dogs that are clipped regularly may enjoy being clipped short, but Stewart says not too short –skin exposure may increase the risk of sunburns.

Volunteering

THE ULTIMATE FAMILY BONDING EXPERIENCE

Community 78
Look Local Volume 11 | Issue 5

Summer is an opportune time to volunteer as a family. The kids are off school, the weather is beautiful and it’s a great way to spend time together. Plus, there’s no better way to learn about charitable giving than through hands-on experience contributing to a healthy and caring community.

There are lots of groups in need of help throughout the summer, making it easy to find an experience that aligns with your family’s interests and time commitment. Although most charities and organizations require volunteers to be over 15 or 18, kids can still help out behind the scenes in a variety of ways. Not sure where to start? Here are some ideas to get you planning your first family volunteer experience.

BURLINGTONGREEN

Sue Alksnis from BurlingtonGreen says a great way for families to help out is to organize a clean-up either in their neighbourhood or at a park, stream, schoolyard or other area.

Estate Planning | Wills | Powers of Attorney Trusts | Notarial Services 647-210-0935 gosha@sekhonlegal.com 100-295 Robinson Street, Oakville (by appointment only) sekhonlegal.com stephen.crawfordco@pc.ola.org (905) 827-5141 74 Rebecca St. Oakville www.stephencrawfordmpp.ca For help with provincial matters, please reach out to my office. We are more than happy to assist.

“You can include just your family or invite neighbours or friends to join as well,” says Alksnis, who is the volunteer and community engagement manager for BurlingtonGreen.

More than 12,000 people have taken part in clean-ups this year and the group’s goal is to register 15,000 people by the end of 2023. BurlingtonGreen provides free supplies, including bags and gloves. Find tips on how to organize a clean-up on their website.

RIBFEST

There are two ribfests in Halton over the summer: Oakville Family Ribfest and Canada’s Largest Ribfest in Burlington. Both events are always in need of volunteers. Burlington’s event needs help collecting recyclables, litter and waste from around the festival venue, as well as assistance with set up and signage in and around the park.

Look Local Volume 11 | Issue 5

GLOBAL MEDIC

Global Medic is a registered charity based in Oakville that provides disaster relief and lifesaving kits. Volunteers are needed to assemble and pack food kits, fundraise, load boxes, make local deliveries and staff booths at conferences. Children are welcome to help but may need adult supervision.

THE HUMANE SOCIETY

For families with teens who love animals, the Burlington Humane Society is looking for reliable volunteers who can feed pets and clean the areas where pets live. There are shifts in the morning and afternoon, and they are open seven days a week. Volunteers must be able to read, write, follow instructions and work independently and must complete a three- to four-hour training session.

HELPING SENIORS

Do you have a well-behaved pet that loves people? Pets can be therapeutic, especially for seniors, which is why many retirement homes welcome visits from furry friends. Reach out to retirement homes in your area to find those open to pet visits. Some retirement homes are open to volunteers reading to residents, which may be a great opportunity for a parent and child to volunteer together.

The foundation provides trained dogs to people who have disabilities, but before being placed, each dog spends a year with a foster family to be taught house manners and basic obedience to prepare them for formal dog guide training.

RAISING FUNDS

The majority of charities operate on shoestring budgets and appreciate any donations. Got a cause that’s close to your family’s heart? Pick a charity and organize a fundraiser! Think bake sales, lemonade stands and garage sales to earn money to give to your charity of choice.

There are so many ways parents and kids can volunteer in the community. Whether you choose to help an organization, or come up with your own way to make a difference, involving the entire family in charitable giving is a rewarding experience that develops empathy, compassion and a sense of duty toward others.

SEAFOOD GRILLING

Summer is the perfect time to introduce more fish and seafood into your outdoor grilling lineup. As barbecues are primed and ready, you should be too.

Morsel for morsel, each bite of seafood offers tender, succulent flavours that satisfy your hunger as well as your nutritional needs. Not only do you gain the dietary benefits from noshing on fish and seafood, you also achieve the bonus of eating tasty proteins that go easy on the waistline.

Generally, meatier fish and seafood is best on an outdoor grill as you don’t want flakes of fish falling onto your coals. Think shrimp, lobster, tuna, salmon and meatier white fish varieties such as cod, halibut or swordfish.

Look for fish that has its skin intact as that makes the grilling process easier and reduces the odds of the fish falling apart. Also, says Dave Rihbany of Dave’s Fish Market in Burlington, don’t forget to oil the grill before laying down your fish as that will prevent it from sticking. If the grill feels too intimidating, place the fish on foil and then on the barbecue. That will save it from falling in.

What makes summertime the key time to expand your protein repertoire is the simple matter of availability. Certain types of fish and seafood are only available now so if you want maximum freshness and flavour, summer is the time to try it. “Getting stuff in season like fresh halibut and fresh salmon is good now because it’s not always available all year round,” says Shane R., a fishmonger at Whole Foods in Oakville.

The Mermaid and the Oyster in Kerr Village is a long-time favourite for its daily selection of fresh seafood, as well as a mouth-watering menu of seafood dishes for dine-in or takeout. And, if you want to bring an east coast-inspired oyster bar to your backyard BBQ get together, this is the place.

When seasoning your fish and seafood, the experts often prefer simplicity. Shane suggests salt and pepper, fresh lemon juice and perhaps a dash of Cajun or blackening rub. “When it comes to white fish, you can use whatever seasoning you like as the fish is so mild it will take on the flavour profiles of what you use.”

To widen your fish and seafood experience, Rihbany recommends trying multiple cooking methods in one go. “I like a mixed grill,” says Rihbany, who’s been a fishmonger for 40 years. “Pick a piece with sauce and try a piece with nothing on it. I like to make kebobs with tuna, swordfish and shrimp.”

When it comes to selecting fish and seafood, stay away from discoloured flesh, dried or dehydrated skin or meat. Disregard product that has black spots because that means it has aged before it was frozen. “You don’t want it sitting out in the open air all day,” says Rihbany. “And I don’t recommend discounted fish.”

Fish is a quick-cooking protein so engaging in a 15-minute chat with a neighbour while cooking may not be a good idea. Depending on your taste, fish does not need to be fully cooked and some people actually prefer it when it’s a little translucent in the centre. But Shane cautions against serving fish, especially wild fish, that is too underdone. “With wild varieties there’s a risk of parasites and bacteria if you eat it too raw. Any raw fish would run that risk, but typically wild varieties are more prone to it.”

One of the big draws of seafood is its perceived health benefits. It’s low in fat, high in protein and a great source of Omega-3 DHA essential fatty acids. Other health benefits in seafood are derived from vitamins A and D, which are found in fish liver oils, as well as high levels of the B complex vitamins, particularly niacin, B-12 and B-6. It’s also a perfect protein for gluten-free diners and those following reduced gluten diets.

So fire up the grill, give the traditional burgers and hot dogs a pass, and experiment with seafood this summer. You won’t be disappointed.

WINE & SEAFOOD

WINE & SEAFOOD

AN EASY PAIRING GUIDE

Struggling to figure out what wine to open with your seafood dish? Although white wine does pair very well with fish, it’s a little more complicated than that. Not all white wines taste the same, and “fish” could mean anything from salmon to scallops.

It’s a good idea to consider the texture and flavour of the fish you’re eating when choosing a wine. However, if the sauce is the most prominent flavour on the plate, then use the sauce as your guide. Some types of fish are delicate, light, and flaky while others are practically steak. Therefore, the intensity of the wine should match the texture of the fish.

So, while whites generally rule, reds, rosés and sparkling do have their place. The below wine types (and their pairing ideas) should help you navigate your way through your next seafood and wine pairing.

Food & Drink 90 Look Local Volume 11 | Issue 5

Sparkling Wine

Any reasonably dry sparkling wine is spot-on perfect for fried food. Most wines lose something when you pair them with tempura or a thick beer batter. Not so with sparkling wine; its bubbles and crisp acids cut through the weight of fried food as if the wines were made for the dish. These wines also pair well with oysters, scallops and shrimp salad.

Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris

These are the aristocrats of white fish wines. Dry, austere and crisp, chenin blanc and pinot gris are the wines to reach for when serving lean, white fish cooked simply. Flounder, halibut, walleye, snapper, raw clams, or oysters all do well with these wines. Alternatively, you can use these wines to cut through the natural fat in some fish, such as striped bass, catfish, lobster or mussels.

Chardonnay, Fumé Blanc, Viognier

Chardonnay pairs well with salmon, bass, crab, raw oysters and lobster. The theory here is to match a full-bodied wine with a full-bodied dish. If you have a broth-based soup, chardonnay works wonderfully. If you have a fish that's a little oilier, such as mackerel, try viognier.

Pinot Noir, Gamay, Chianti

There are precious few instances where you'd want a big red with seafood, but light reds can pair quite well with salmon, tuna, marlin, swordfish, mackerel, bluefish, or other fatty, meaty, big-flavoured fish.  Pro tip: avoid combining reds with spicy seafood, as you are likely to get a nasty metallic taste.

Rosé

Rosé wines are great when a dish's sauce is heavier than what a white would call for, but not quite right for a fullon red. Rosés can substitute for full-bodied whites such as chardonnay and fumé blanc. Consider them when grilling tuna steaks.
