Editor's Note

Welcome to our March edition!

Spring may not be in the air yet, but it’s in our calendars and we couldn’t be more excited about it.

From colourful fashion - one of our favourite things about Spring - to unique and refreshing drinks, there is so much to celebrate and be excited about in March. It’s also that time of the year when we ask our readers to nominate someone who fits in the ‘Most Fashionable’ category for 2023. Once the winners are chosen, they will be featured through a styled photoshoot. Sounds like fun, right? Make sure you nominate yourself or someone that fits the fashionista profile.

Great news for those of you who love to travel as Edmonton International Airport’s new vision statement is: ‘More Flights to More Places'. With the new President and CEO, Myron Keehn leading its future, there are some exciting things on the horizon: from growing numbers of destinations, to expanding the innovation sector in the field of AI, drones and solar farms, to continuing to be committed to the community by supporting around 100 charities each year.

If you consider yourself a true foodie, chances are you’ve been to Continental Treat. Having been a part of the local dining scene since 1982 on Whyte Ave, a second location came to the Goodridge Block downtown in 2021. Their signature feel carries on in that space as well, with the Old World ambience, iconic European dishes, and a familiar, cozy vibe. The dill pickle soup remains a must-try.

This month also brings us a new Community feature, and we are honoured and privileged to talk about the Ben Stelter Fund as the first, inaugural story. Benny’s smile and big heart will continue to live through this incredible legacy that his family and friends are building, and we are thrilled to see Edmonton embracing this new philanthropic mission to help children battling cancer.

Enjoy the March edition of Modern Luxuria, and we hope you’ll find some great luxuries throughout this new edition.
