Hello, -20 weather. How we’ve missed you… not! Every year we get a swift and brutal reminder that winters in Canada are no joke. With temperatures falling every passing day and, despite our best efforts, the frigid cold seeping through our doors and windows, we think that it’s safe to say that many of us...
Whether you like it or not, winter is just around the corner.
