CANADA THE TRUE NORTH, COLORFULLY STRONG & FREE

Forget the melting pot. Canada doesn’t dissolve identity—it layers it.

From immigration policy to ever yday life, multiculturalism isn’t just witnessed in Canada—it’s celebrated. Step onto any Canadian street, and you’ll hear a blend of languages, smell a mix of global cuisines, and see celebrations that span continents. It’s in the Shawarma joints of Halifax, the Sikh parades in Vancouver, and the Lunar New Year lanterns in Toronto

This is not by accident. Since 1971, when Canada became the first countr y in the world to adopt multiculturalism as o�cial policy, we’ve committed to a model of inclusion that recognizes diversity as a national strength

Multiculturalism here isn’t about assimilation. It’s about amplification. It allows Canadians to be fully themselves—whether they ’re first-generation immigrants or Indigenous elders carr ying for ward ancient knowledge. This mosaic model invites each individual tile to shine, shaping a nation that is as complex as it is cohesive.

This issue celebrates that mosaic. From powwows to poutines, h�abs to hockey, we explore how cultures blend, coexist, and sometimes clash—but always contribute. Because to be Canadian isn’t to fit in. It’s to belong.

BRIAn JESSEL BMW HELPS DRIVE tHE ConVERSAtIon

At BURnABY’S 2025 StAtE of tHE CItY

ADDRESS

Brian Jessel BMW proudly took part as a sponsor of the 2025 State of the City Address, an annual event hosted by the Burnaby Board of Trade that brings together civic leaders, business owners, and engaged citizens. This year’s gathering featured insightful remarks from Mayor Mike Hurley, highlighting Burnaby’s progress and ambitious plans for the future. Held at the heart of the city, the event served as both a reflection and a rallying call—covering topics like urban development, innovation, sustainability, and economic growth. A dynamic Q&A session added further depth, offering attendees a chance to explore Burnaby’s direction and priorities directly with the mayor.

For Brian Jessel BMW, supporting this signature event was about more than presence—it was about participation in a shared vision for the community.

Known for excellence in service and commitment to quality, the dealership continues to extend that dedication beyond the showroom and into the broader Burnaby landscape.

“Supporting the State of the City Address is an opportunity to stand behind the growth and innovation that make Burnaby such an exciting place to live and work,” a spokesperson from Brian Jessel BMW shared. “We’re proud to be part of this journey.” As Burnaby sets its sights on smart development and forward-thinking initiatives, Brian Jessel BMW is proud to be part of the momentum— partnering with those who are helping to shape a vibrant, inclusive, and thriving city.

YoUR StRongESt SUMMER YEt

Summer isn’t just a mood—it’s a movement. Longer days, fresh air, and open skies are your cue to step outside and tune into your body differently. Ditch the machines, forget the apps, and let the season shape your workout. This is fitness stripped back to what matters: strength, stamina, and the freedom to move without walls.

The following five-part routine blends functional bodyweight exercises with mobility work, cardio bursts, and a cool-down that actually feels like recovery. Whether you’re on a dock, a deck, or a shady spot in the park, this workout adapts to your space—and your energy.

Wake up your body with a fullbody primer

Before you get sweaty, start by activating your major muscle groups. Think of this like flipping the switch—waking up your core, glutes, and shoulders to support everything else.

Do this:

410 air squats

410 arm circles (each direction)

45 walkouts to plank + shoulder tap

Total time: 3–5 minutes

Why it works: Preps your joints and muscles for movement and helps prevent injury, especially when training outdoors.

Build real-world strength with functional sets

Strong doesn’t always mean heavy. This set focuses on dynamic, compound movements that mimic real-life strength—lifting, pushing,

stabilizing.

Do this (repeat 3 rounds):

412 reverse lunges

48 push-ups (regular or incline)

410 glute bridges

Why it works: Trains multiple muscles at once, builds joint resilience, and improves body control—no weights needed.

Boost your energy with fast cardio bursts

Keep things short and sharp. These intervals get your heart rate up and improve your cardiovascular fitness— without needing to run miles.

Do this (2 rounds):

430 seconds jumping jacks

420 seconds squat pulses

430 seconds high knees

430 seconds rest

Why it works: Builds endurance, burns calories, and adds an energy spike to any summer day.

Stretch what’s tight and unlock mobility

Sun and sweat can lead to stiffness. This mobility flow lengthens the muscles you’ve just worked while helping your joints move more freely.

Do this:

4Forward fold to half lift (5 breaths)

4Downward dog pedal feet (10 reps)

4Low lunge side stretch (30 seconds each side)

Why it works: Loosens hips, hamstrings, and spine—especially after sitting or travel-heavy summer weekends.

Cool down with breath and balance

End on a quiet note. These movements ground your body, return your heart rate to baseline, and leave you feeling calm—not depleted.

Do this:

4Standing side stretch with deep breaths (3 per side)

4Seated twist (5 breaths each side)

41-minute seated breathing (in for 4, out for 6)

Why it works: Enhances recovery, supports the nervous system, and gives your workout a graceful finish.

Summer fitness, smarter!

4 Time your workout: Early mornings and late evenings are cooler, calmer, and better for stamina.

4 Choose breathable textures: Lightweight, sweat-wicking fabrics will keep you moving freely.

4 Pack your gear: A water bottle, resistance band, and towel are all you need to level up.

4 Be flexible: Missed a day? Move lightly the next. Consistency > intensity.

When cultures meet at the dinner table

Navigating in-law dynamics in multicultural families with grace, curiosity, and boundaries

They bring homemade pickles, firm opinions, and an uncanny ability to sense when you’re not wearing socks. In-laws are often the gatekeepers of family tradition—but when you marry into a culture different from your own, they also become your first immersive experience of another world.

In a multicultural country like Canada, cross-cultural relationships are not just common—they’re quietly reshaping the definition of family. But with that beautiful blend comes complexity. From food to festivals, faith to family expectations, navigating in-laws from another cultural background requires more than polite tolerance—it asks for intentional empathy, boundaries, and the ability to sit in discomfort long enough to learn something real.

Whether you’re figuring out what to call your partner’s parents (first names? Auntie-Uncle? Mom-Dad?), or wondering how to explain your own traditions without sounding defensive, here’s how to move from feeling out of place to finding your rhythm.

Start with listening, not labeling It’s easy to interpret a comment or custom through your own cultural lens—but pause before assuming intent. Many gestures (insisting on feeding you, commenting on your clothing, asking about your future plans) might stem from a place of care, not control. Ask questions. Show interest. Curiosity is your biggest ally.

Learn the etiquette, then make it your own

Whether it’s bowing at the door, touching elders’ feet, or avoiding shoes in the kitchen, understanding your in-laws’ cultural expectations shows respect—even if you don’t adopt every practice long-term. Over time, you’ll find a shared rhythm that blends gestures from both worlds.

Food is a bridge—use it often

You may not love okra or fermented cabbage yet, but sitting at your in-laws’ table with openness goes a long way. Offer to help in the kitchen, ask for recipes, or cook a dish from your own background as a gesture of inclusion. It’s not just about eating—it’s about being seen.

Set gentle boundaries, early and clearly

Every culture has its own comfort zones around privacy, affection, gender roles, and decision-making. If your in-laws’ involvement begins to feel like interference, it’s okay to assert boundaries—with kindness. Use your partner as a cultural translator if needed, and frame limits as ways to protect harmony, not reject tradition.

Let connection evolve over time

You may not bond instantly—and

that’s okay. Respect is a strong foundation; closeness can come later. Celebrate small wins: a shared laugh over miscommunication, a compliment on your cooking, or an invite to a family ritual. Relationships across cultures often take longer to bloom—but they can be among the most rewarding.

Ground rules for cross-cultural inlaw harmony

4Don’t compete with their tradition—add to it.

4Use neutral language when navigating conflict (‘different,’ not ‘wrong’).

4Let your partner lead on family matters when emotions run high.

4Take cultural cues, but stay true to your emotional needs. Remember: Respect goes both ways—give it, but also expect it.

CAnADA SUMMER gAMES REtURnS In 2025

Team BC will join hundreds of competitors from across the country to battle for glory in one of the most prestigious multi-sport events in the nation.

For British Columbia’s elite youth cyclists, this isn’t just

another race—it’s a defining moment. The Canada Games have long served as a launchpad for future Olympians and national champions.

But for many, representing their province on this national stage is the ultimate achievement. It’s about more than medals—it’s about commitment, camaraderie, and pride.

At the heart of Team BC’s campaign are two highoctane cycling disciplines: Road and Mountain Bike. The Road cycling events— including the Road Race, Time Trial, and Criterium— will unfold on August 11, 13, and 15, challenging riders on strategy, stamina, and speed.

Para athletes will compete in the Road Race and Time Trial on August 11 and 13, marking an inclusive and empowering chapter in the Games.

The action continues on the dirt during Mountain Bike events, with Crosscountry Olympic (XCO), Short Track (XCC), and the crowd-favorite Team Relay scheduled for August 20, 22, and 24.

These races promise breathtaking views and adrenaline-fueled drama against Newfoundland’s rugged terrain.

kULDIP SIDHU REAPPoIntED to SURREY’S PARkS,

RECREAtIon & SPoR t toURISM CoMMIttEE

Whether it’s planting trees, organizing food drives, or cheering from the sidelines at a field hockey match, Kuldip Singh Sidhu has built his life around one simple idea: community first. And now, he’s been reappointed to bring that same spirit back to City Hall for a second term as a Community Member on Surrey’s Parks, Recreation, and Sport Tourism Committee. The announcement came in a letter from Mayor Brenda Locke, dated May 28, 2025, recognizing Sidhu’s dedication to building a vibrant, inclusive Surrey. His new term runs until December 31, 2026.

For Sidhu, service is second nature. By day, he’s a Regional Manager at Khalsa Credit Union. But beyond the office, his real passion comes alive through grassroots action: volunteering with Guru Nanak Free Kitchen, supporting the Guru Nanak Food Bank, organizing drives for the Surrey Food Bank, and helping to lead local tree-planting events that have literally helped the city grow greener. And that’s not all. As a longtime supporter of youth sports, Sidhu is

also involved with West Coast Field Hockey and Surinder Lions Field Hockey — programs that don’t just promote athletics, but also mentorship, teamwork, and community pride.

“It’s a great honour to return for a second term,” Sidhu shared. “I’m thankful to Mayor Brenda and City Council for this opportunity. It means a lot to continue contributing to a city that’s given me so much.”

The Parks, Recreation, and Sport Tourism Committee helps guide policies and programs that impact everything from public parks and community centers to sport events and wellness initiatives. With his strong grassroots connections and lived experience, Sidhu brings a unique and valuable perspective to the table.

Surrey is home to one of Canada’s fastest-growing and most diverse populations — and with people like Kuldip Sidhu helping shape its future, that future looks bright, active, and deeply connected.

Wander where

where cultures collide

to heritage festivals, these destinations country through food, art, and tradition

Canada doesn’t just welcome the world—it reflects it. From coast to coast, its cities, towns, and territories are shaped by generations of people who brought with them not just traditions, but flavors, stories, rhythms, and ways of seeing the world. July—when the country bursts into celebration—offers the perfect moment to rediscover this richness in full color. It’s not just about where you go, but what you feel when you get there: a sense of belonging, connection, and curiosity. This season, we invite you to travel with intention—to walk through neighborhoods that echo with music from across continents, to taste dishes steeped in memory, and to stand in spaces where culture isn’t curated, but lived. These five summer destinations offer a glimpse into the many identities that make Canada whole—and make summer unforgettable.

Kensington Market, Toronto – Where the world comes to play

A living mosaic of culture, flavor, and music, this downtown Toronto neighborhood turns into a summer-long street party. You’ll find taquerias next to Afro-Caribbean grocers, vintage record stores, Middle Eastern bakeries, and bold murals celebrating activism and migration. Every corner offers something new—and something delicious.

Summer special: Don’t miss Pedestrian Sundays, when cars are banned and the streets become a canvas for live music, dance, and global street eats.

Chinatown, Vancouver – History, tea, and night market magic

One of North America’s oldest Chinatowns, this neighborhood is more than dim sum and red lanterns. Visit the serene Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, then wander through herbal shops, open-air produce stands, and restaurants blending tradition with trend. The nearby Richmond Night Market takes the experience up a notch.

Summer special: Explore the market at twilight— expect neon lights, sizzling skewers, and desserts that look like art.

Whitehorse, Yukon – Indigenous culture under the midnight sun

For something truly soul-stirring, head north. In Whitehorse, First Nations communities offer immersive cultural experiences that are both educational and deeply grounding. Learn about local languages, participate in carving or beading workshops, and attend evening ceremonies that honor land, ancestry, and spirit.

Summer special: The Adäka Cultural Festival in

July brings together Indigenous artists from across the North—through music, crafts, dance, and storytelling.

Old Montréal, Québec – A European escape with Québécois soul

A short walk down cobblestone streets can take you from historic churches to indie art galleries, and from creperies to live jazz corners. Old Montréal is a romantic and sensory-rich escape, and its summer festivals light up the old port with performance and pride.

Summer special: Time your trip with Montréal Complètement Cirque, a high-flying outdoor circus festival that blends global talent with urban spectacle.

Little India, Toronto – A feast of color, spice, and rhythm Gerrard Street East is a slice of South Asia in Canada—lined with sari shops, sweet vendors, and restaurants offering everything from Punjabi street food to coastal South Indian thalis. The vibe is vibrant and welcoming, especially in July when community-led cultural events bring the area to life.

Summer special: Look out for outdoor Bollywood screenings, classical dance performances, and pop-up food stalls during local heritage festivals.

WCC CELEBRAtES fILIPIno HERItAgE At

fEStIVAL BURnABY 2025

This June, Burnaby played host to one of the most powerful cultural gatherings in British Columbia — Pinoy Festival 2025, the province’s largest celebration of Filipino heritage. Among the organizations participating in the day’s vibrant festivities was Western Community College (WCC), a proud supporter of community initiatives that foster unity, education, and cultural pride.

The festival was a celebration not only of heritage, but of connection. Through traditional dance, food, music, and storytelling, Filipino culture was brought to life in ways that invited all to participate and reflect. For WCC, the event provided an opportunity to stand in solidarity with the Filipino Canadian community and to contribute to meaningful conversations about identity, inclusion, and the power of collective progress.

Throughout the day, WCC representatives engaged with

attendees, community leaders, and partner organizations, reinforcing the college’s mission to serve as a bridge between education and lived experience. The festival served as a reminder that learning extends beyond the classroom—it happens in community spaces, at cultural gatherings, and in moments of shared recognition.

As part of Filipino Heritage Month, the event highlighted the rich history and enduring contributions of Filipino Canadians to the province’s social and cultural landscape. WCC’s involvement reflected its ongoing commitment to honouring diversity and supporting initiatives that build stronger, more connected communities.

Events like Pinoy Festival Burnaby are more than celebrations—they are affirmations of identity, resilience, and the values that bring

people together. In standing alongside the Filipino community, WCC reaffirms its belief in rising together through education, respect, and a shared vision for the future.

Summer in Canada brings the luxury of space—if not in square footage, then in time. Long evenings, slow weekends, and moments that drift outdoors invite us to create places where life feels less interrupted. And for many Canadian households, outdoor space is more than just an extension of the home—it’s a continuation of cultural traditions, social rituals, and visual storytelling.

OutdOOr spaces

Transform your patio, balcony, or backyard summer haven, shaped by memory,

From city balconies draped in Mediterranean textiles to suburban patios adorned with South Asian earthenware, summer design in multicultural homes carries a unique signature. These aren’t catalog spaces—they’re curated, expressive, and often layered with family, function, and fragments of faraway places. Whether your space is urban and tight or leafy and sprawling, here’s how to create an outdoor nook that feels distinctly yours— while drawing from the places and practices that have shaped you.

Textile traditions as design foundations Start with what grounds you—literally. Instead of typical outdoor rugs, consider layering dhurries, woven straw mats, or hand-printed kilims that tell a story. These bring warmth, but also history: the kind passed down, picked up during travel, or simply reminiscent of where your family came from. Add floor cushions stitched in Kantha style, hand-embroidered pillow covers, or batik throws to give softness and visual texture. These pieces don’t just decorate—they translate.

Ambient light inspired by memory Lighting transforms mood, especially after sunset. Go beyond string lights and think more intentionally: Turkish tea lanterns, Moroccan pierced metal lamps, solar-powered diya-style votives, or glass hurricanes filled with handrolled candles. Clustered together, these create shadowplay reminiscent of courtyards in Delhi, bazaars in Marrakesh, or verandas in Mexico City. Their glow doesn’t shout—it invites.

Planting nostalgia into your space

What you grow matters—especially when what you grow connects you to the past. Potted herbs

like tulsi, lemongrass, coriander, mint, or sage do double duty: they’re beautiful, practical, and often scented with memory. Don’t be afraid to grow culturally specific greens—bitter melon vines up a trellis, curry leaves in planters, or jasmine in small containers. These choices are personal—and powerful.

Crafting communal corners with flexible flow Rather than fixate on symmetry or matching sets, focus on modularity and movement. Use collapsible tables, mix wood with wicker, or create a floor-level setup with low trays and layered cushions—perfect for shared tea or snacks. In many cultures, eating close to the floor symbolizes humility and connection. Bring that intentionality outdoors. It’s okay if it feels informal—that’s what makes it inviting.

Designing a nook for pause and presence Not every moment in your outdoor space has to be social. Leave one corner untouched by chairs and tables—just a meditation stool, yoga mat, or single lounge chair with a good view. Add a small bell, incense dish, or potted plant to mark this space as yours. Stillness, too, is a form of design.

Details that define atmosphere

4Fabric over function: Drape scarves or shawls as temporary sunshades.

4Sound matters: Add handmade wind chimes or even a soft water feature.

4Borrow from ritual: Use a thali, tray, or carved bowl as a centerpiece.

4Let plants climb: Encourage vines or beans to trail up old furniture or bamboo stakes.

4Infuse scent: Burn sandalwood, light a rose-scented candle, or crush fresh basil between your fingers.

The sharp truth about gout

what yOu need tO knOw, frOm causes tO care

Gout isn’t just an oldfashioned ailment from history books— it’s a very real, very painful form of arthritis that affects people of all ages and backgrounds today. Marked by sudden attacks of joint pain, swelling, and redness, gout most commonly strikes the big toe, often in the middle of the night. The affected joint becomes hot, inflamed, and exquisitely tender—sometimes so sensitive that even the touch of a bedsheet can feel unbearable.

This condition may come and go, but without proper attention, it can lead to longterm joint damage and other complications. Here’s what you need to know to recognize, manage, and prevent gout.

Spotting the signs: Symptoms of gout

Gout usually appears suddenly and often at night. Key symptoms include:

4Intense joint pain, typically starting in the big toe but also seen in the ankles, knees, wrists, fingers, and elbows

4Lingering discomfort that can last days or even weeks

4Swelling and redness around the joint

4Reduced range of motion in the affected area as the condition progresses

Why gout happens: Causes and triggers Gout is caused by the buildup of urate crystals in the joints. These crystals form when there’s too much uric acid in the bloodstream. Uric acid is a natural waste product that forms when the body breaks down purines—substances found in the body and in certain foods like red meat, liver, shellfish, and alcohol (especially beer and sugary drinks).

Normally, uric acid dissolves in the blood and is excreted through the kidneys. But when the body makes too much or

the kidneys excrete too little, uric acid accumulates and forms painful crystals in and around the joints.

Who’s at risk: Common factors

Certain lifestyle and health conditions can increase the likelihood of developing gout. These include:

4Diet high in red meat, seafood, and sugary drinks

4Alcohol consumption, especially beer

4Obesity, which makes it harder for the body to process uric acid

4Chronic illnesses like diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, and high blood pressure

4Certain medications, such as low-dose aspirin, diuretics, and some anti-rejection drugs

4Family history of gout

4Age and gender – men are more likely to develop gout earlier in life, while women are at higher risk after menopause

4Surgery, trauma, or vaccinations, which can sometimes trigger attacks

When it gets serious: Potential complications

If left unmanaged, gout can lead to more serious health issues, including:

4Frequent attacks that affect more joints over time

4Tophi, or hard urate crystal deposits under the skin, which can become swollen and tender

4Kidney stones caused by crystal buildup in the urinary tract

4Permanent joint damage from ongoing inflammation

Diagnosis: How doctors confirm gout

Diagnosis is typically based on symptoms and physical examination. Additional tests may include:

4Joint fluid analysis to detect urate crystals under a microscope

4Blood tests to measure uric acid levels (though results can sometimes be misleading)

4Imaging like X-rays or ultrasound to detect joint damage or urate deposits

Treatment: Medication and long-term management

Managing gout includes both relieving immediate pain and preventing future flares:

During an attack:

4NSAIDs (like ibuprofen or naproxen) to reduce inflammation

4Colchicine, an antiinflammatory specific to gout

4Corticosteroids, either oral or injectable, for severe pain

For long-term control:

4Uric acid-lowering drugs, such as allopurinol or febuxostat

4Uric acid-clearing medications, like probenecid, to help kidneys eliminate excess acid

Lifestyle shifts: Daily habits that make a difference

Alongside medication, lifestyle changes play a powerful role in managing and preventing gout:

4Stay hydrated with plenty of water and avoid sugary or alcoholic drinks

4Limit purine-rich foods, especially red meat, organ meats, and certain seafood

4Maintain a healthy weight through regular, low-impact exercise

4Opt for low-fat dairy products as protein alternatives

Gout may be painful, but it’s manageable. With the right combination of medical care and lifestyle changes, flare-ups can be reduced and longterm complications avoided. Understanding the condition is the first step—managing it is where true relief begins.

yOur summer glOw starts here

From sun-kissed finishes to cultural color cues, this season's makeup celebrates natural beauty with worldwide influence

As the sun climbs higher and days grow longer, Canadian summer makeup is all about less product, more glow— and a celebration of individuality shaped by heritage. Across skin tones, climates, and cultural aesthetics, the season’s beauty trends are turning toward lightweight textures, earthy warmth, and accents drawn from global tradition.

This isn’t about covering up—it’s about showing off skin that feels like yours, kissed by sunlight and layered with intention.

Let the skin breathe

A flawless summer look starts with healthy, hydrated skin—and makeup that enhances, not hides. Skip the heavy layers and opt for sheer coverage that evens tone without masking texture. Tinted serums, skin tints, and breathable moisturizers with a hint of pigment let the real you show through. The goal? A finish that’s luminous, never matte—like skin post-swim,

slightly dewy and alive.

Earth-born tones, everywhere

This season’s color palette nods to nature and tradition—rich with spice, soil, and sunset. From marigold cheeks to burnt cinnamon lids, there’s a soft return to pigment rooted in the world’s oldest beauty cultures. Swap peach blush for saffron, bronze highlighters for copper, and try layering warm clay or sand tones on eyes for depth that feels sun-warmed, not sculpted.

Eyes with memory and meaning

The eyes are where global influence really shines. This summer, you’ll see bold liner styles inspired by Middle Eastern kohl, East Asian waterline tightlining, and South Asian winged flicks—but reinterpreted with a modern edge. Graphic yet soft, these looks pair beautifully with shimmering earth-tone shadows or a subtle swipe of color beneath the lower lashes. Plum, olive, teal, and even warm metallics feel fresh and unexpected.

Lips that whisper or sing

Gloss is the hero of summer lips—but not just clear or bubblegum. This year’s shades draw from the fruits and florals of tropical and ancestral gardens: hibiscus red, guava pink, tamarind brown, and pomegranate-stained berry. Tints and balms are ideal for daytime, while deeper stains or creamy sticks add dimension for evening. For a fuller effect, softly blur the edges and top with a sheer balm or oil.

Mist, blot, refresh—repeat

To keep your summer look fresh in the heat, lock it in with lightweight setting sprays infused with cooling botanicals like rosewater, cucumber, or aloe. Refresh throughout the day with facial mists or a few dabs of blotting paper—especially in humidity-prone cities. The key is not perfection, but radiance that lasts.

5 easy makeup rituals for a sunlit summer

4 Tap cream blush high on the cheekbones for a lifted, just-hiked glow.

4 Use your fingers for eyeshadow— warm tones blend better and feel more natural.

4 Blur your lip color with a fingertip instead of applying straight from the bullet.

4 Add a pop of color on the lower lash line for a playful, cultural twist.

4 Finish with a mist instead of powder— it locks in the look without drying you out.

summer, styled your way

Breezy, BOld, and unmistakaBly canadian - this summer, fashiOn is all aBOut glOBal ease and everyday flair

What does Canadian summer style look like in 2025? It’s light, expressive, and refreshingly personal. From the boardwalks of Vancouver to the patio cafés of Montreal, Canadians are embracing a season of heat and celebration by dressing in breathable, feel-good fashion that celebrates both individuality and cultural influences. This isn’t fast fashion—it’s smart styling. It’s choosing pieces that work for both rooftop dinners and lakefront lounging, mixing artisan-made accessories with easy linen layers, and grounding bold colors in silhouettes you’ll live in all season long.

And with Canada Day festivities adding a spirited flair to July, this summer’s fashion is all about making it your own.

Linen love: the fabric of the season

Nothing beats linen when the temperature rises—and this year, it’s being reimagined in creative ways. Think high-waisted drawstring pants paired with cropped sleeveless tops, or matching linen shirt-and-short sets that go from brunch to beach. Designers are incorporating subtle prints like block motifs, palm fronds, and even mandalainspired outlines in tones of dusty rose, pistachio, and off-white. For an evening upgrade, throw a lightweight linen blazer over a fitted tank dress—effortless yet elevated.

Color, but make it wearable

The Canadian summer palette leans heavily into spice tones this year— turmeric yellow, chili red, ocean blue, and papaya orange—balanced by warm neutrals like cream and clay. These hues appear in co-ords, belted shirt dresses, and wide-leg trousers, often styled with white sandals or tan mules. The trick is to go monochrome or pick a single bold item and build your outfit around it. A saffron tank dress or teal cotton jumpsuit can be paired with raffia accessories for a look that’s grounded yet vibrant.

Dresses with personality

This summer, dresses are doing the most—with very little effort. Smocked

bodices, tiered hemlines, puffed sleeves, and embroidered panels are showing up in midi and maxi lengths.

Designers are pulling inspiration from around the world: Indian mirrorwork, Mediterranean eyelet, and Mexican embroidery give these dresses character without being costume-like. Light cotton and voile keep them breathable, and you can throw on a denim jacket or oversized linen shirt to transition from sun to shade.

Footwear that’s built to move

Forget sky-high heels— this season is about practical beauty. Leather slides with woven accents, cushioned cross-strap sandals, and embroidered juttis (great with cropped jeans or wide-leg pants) are top picks. Huaraches with cutout details are also trending, often in shades of tan, rust, or soft pink. These shoes go from market strolls to dinner dates without missing a step.

Accessories that finish the look

are playful and rooted in texture. Printed silk scarves worn as hair wraps, handbeaded earrings, wooden bangles, and mini woven totes are must-haves. The key is contrast—add a bold accessory to a simple silhouette, like a red beaded necklace with a cream linen shift or a colorful headwrap with a tankand-pants combo. Sunglasses are oversized and retro—think rounded lenses or tinted squares.Canada Day style tip

Celebrate in style by embracing red and white through fashion-forward pieces—a cherry-red cotton wrap dress, a white kaftan with red embroidery, or a blockprinted scarf tied to your bag. Skip the flag tee and opt for items that nod to Canadian pride through texture, and local craftsmanship.

SEVA foUnDAtIon In SURREY

On a sunny Saturday afternoon, the Seva Foundation marked an exciting milestone: the grand opening of its new location at 12877 76 Avenue in Surrey. With local leaders, long-time supporters, and community members gathered to celebrate, the event was more than just a ribbon-cutting—it was a heartwarming reminder of what community can do when it comes together. In attendance were Mayor Brenda Locke, Senator Baltej Singh Dhillon, Councillor Linda Annis, and School Trustee Gary Thind, all of whom shared their support and encouragement for the Foundation’s growing impact in the region.

“We are deeply grateful for the support of all who took time to come out and celebrate with us. Our community is our motivation,” said Kiran Malli, President of the Board. “We are also grateful for the attendance and words of encouragement from Mayor Locke, Senator Dhillon, Councillor Annis, and Trustee Thind. Their support helps us to better serve our community, and we look forward to continuing our community-driven work with their partnership.” At the heart of Seva Foundation’s work is its much-loved Seva Thrift Store, known for offering a thoughtfully curated selection of new and gently used South Asian clothing. With the new space, the store now offers an even wider range of finds—home décor, accessories, and culturally inspired items that reflect the vibrancy of South Asian heritage, all while staying accessible and affordable.

But the expansion goes beyond retail.

The new location sets the stage for Seva Foundation to grow its services and deepen its impact. Plans are already underway to introduce programming and initiatives that support vulnerable populations, encourage sustainability, and continue uplifting the community through both culture and care. Since opening its doors in 2016, the Foundation has donated over $100,000 to causes close to home, including the Surrey Hospital Foundation, housing programs with Options Community Services, and scholarships for exceptional student volunteers. Its outreach also includes everything from supporting shelters, food banks, and refugees to offering employment training, literacy programs, and even formalwear for graduates in need.

The grand opening was a proud, joyful moment for everyone involved—and a sign of even more good things to come. Seva Foundation extends its deepest thanks to all who attended and continue to support their mission. With a fresh new space and strong community roots, the Foundation is poised for a future filled with even greater impact.

‘How

to Train Your Dragon takes

flight again with heart, scale, and sincerity

Movie: How to Train Your Dragon

Director: Dean DeBlois

Cast: Mason Thames, Gerard Butler, Nico Parker, Nick Frost

Genre: Fantasy / Adventure

Duration: 125 minutes

Rating: PG (for sequences of intense action and peril)

The live-action adaptation of ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ could have easily slipped into the familiar trap of hollow nostalgia. But under the steady hand of Dean DeBlois—who also directed the original animated trilogy—it soars instead. Faithful, visually sweeping, and emotionally resonant, this reboot proves that retelling a beloved story doesn’t have to mean diminishing its magic. Mason Thames steps into the role of Hiccup, the outcast Viking teen who befriends a dragon rather than slays it. He brings the right balance of adolescent vulnerability and stubborn boldness. The relationship between Hiccup and Toothless, the mysterious ‘Night Fury,’ is once again the soul of the film—only this time rendered in striking live-action, with creature design so lifelike it feels otherworldly.

While the film starts slowly—even with a fiery dragon-Viking battle at its opening—it hits its emotional stride as Hiccup discovers, studies, and eventually trains Toothless. The visuals, crafted by veteran cinematographer Bill Pope (‘The Matrix’, ‘Scott Pilgrim

vs. the World’), immerse you in cloudswept skies and intimate forest glades with equal power. Gerard Butler reprises his role as Chief Stoick the Vast with booming presence, while Nico Parker brings fierce charisma to Astrid, Hiccup’s formidable crush. Nick Frost delights as Gobber, the warrior blacksmith who believes in Hiccup before anyone else. A newly diverse Berk—now home to warriors from around the globe—adds a subtle modernity to the narrative.

Crucially, this version doesn’t feel

like a soulless swap of animation for photorealism. DeBlois knows what to keep, what to cut, and where live-action can deepen the story’s impact. The film’s message of empathy over violence, and connection over conquest, remains intact—and timely.

‘How to Train Your Dragon’ is more than just a remake. It’s a reminder that kids’ films, when made with care and scope, can still spark imaginations, awaken compassion, and even take your breath away.

Inspired by global traditions, these Slow summer rituals

In a country like Canada, where global traditions meet modern life, wellness can take on beautifully layered meanings. These warm-weather rituals, drawn from or inspired by age-old practices around the world, are simple, nourishing ways to care for the mind and body—and to let the season’s slower pace seep into your everyday.

Summer often bursts into our calendars with energy—cookouts, concerts, cottages, festivals. But for all its brightness, summer also carries a quieter rhythm, a chance to slow down and return to the essentials: breath, movement, presence, and care. Across many cultures, this season is not just about doing more, but being more aligned— with self, with nature, and with inherited wisdom.

Start your mornings with quiet cultural grounding Mornings, in many traditional systems of wellness, are viewed as a powerful portal into balance and clarity. Ancient Indian texts describe the first hour of sunlight as brahma muhurta—a time for reflection and breathwork. In Indigenous traditions across North America, morning smudging or sun greetings honor the direction of the east and awaken the spirit. In East Asian practice, dawn is often when energy work—like qi gong or tai chi—is performed to harmonize with nature’s flow.

You don’t need a ceremony to benefit from this approach. Simply rising a little earlier, sitting outside or by a window, and breathing consciously can help you set a calmer tone for the day. Let your mornings be less about jumping into action and more about anchoring into self.

Cool down with globally inspired healing drinks In every culture, there are drinks designed not just to hydrate but to balance the body, especially during hot seasons. In Jamaica and other parts of the Caribbean, chilled hibiscus or sorrel tea is known for cooling the system and lowering blood pressure. In South Asia, chaas (a salted buttermilk spiced with cumin or ginger) aids digestion and heat regulation. In Morocco, fresh mint tea isn’t just cultural—it’s essential for mental clarity and body temperature control.

Adopt a version that works for your climate and constitution. A cold infusion with herbs, a spiced yogurt drink, or simply water with citrus and seeds can become a mindful pause in your day. Make it a ritual: prepare it slowly, sip it quietly, and let it become more than just thirst-quenching.

Transform skincare into a weekly slow ritual True skincare, in many ancestral traditions, isn’t about appearance—it’s about connection. In West Africa, shea butter isn’t just moisturizing—it’s a multigenerational beauty staple, passed down through women’s hands. In South Asia, turmeric masks and oiling rituals are tied to purification and celebration. In Japan, rice water has long been used for cleansing and softening skin, while rosewater remains a cooling, soothing staple across the Middle East.

Choose a single ingredient that resonates with you—be it a rose-scented mist, a herbal clay mask, or a cooling oil—and set aside one evening to use it slowly and intentionally. Light a candle, wash your face gently, and apply your treatment like a blessing. The goal isn’t transformation—it’s care.

Let nature guide a slow, mindful walk

The Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku—literally “forest bathing”—invites people to walk slowly and without distraction in wooded areas to support mental clarity, immune function, and nervous system regulation. It’s not exercise. It’s immersion.

In Canada, where nature is often just a park or trail away, we have daily opportunities to reconnect with green spaces.

This summer, try walking without headphones, without a podcast, without a destination. Walk for the sound of your own breath, the rustle of leaves, the sensation of sunlight on your arms. Whether you’re in a forest, garden, or residential block lined with trees, let your steps slow and your senses sharpen. Even ten mindful minutes outdoors can reduce cortisol and restore perspective.

Replace screens with calming twilight rituals In spiritual and ancestral traditions across the

these mindful practices offer calm in a busy season rituals for the body and mind

globe, the evening is seen as a time to return inward. In Buddhist monasteries, silence after sunset is practiced to prepare the mind for rest. In Indigenous communities, twilight was often the time for oral storytelling and quiet gathering. In the Ayurvedic tradition, nighttime is ruled by kapha energy—meant for slowing, grounding, and sleep preparation.

You don’t need a complete digital detox—just a consistent shift. After sunset, put devices away and invite quiet. Brew a calming tea, write a few lines in a notebook, take a warm shower with soft lighting, or sit by an open window and watch the color drain from the sky. Sleep comes easier when the hours before it feel like an exhale, not a sprint.

Simple summer wellness swaps

4Instead of scrolling in bed: Sit outside barefoot for five minutes under natural light

4Instead of a second coffee: Try cool lemon water with tulsi, mint, or cardamom

4Instead of multitasking meals: Eat slowly and in silence, even for five minutes

4Instead of afternoon burnout: Rest with a cool cloth over your eyes and breathe deeply

4Instead of chasing productivity: Take an unscheduled walk with no destination in mind

Note: This is certainly not the traditional method of making Vietnamese coffee. An authentic version would require mixing hot coffee with the sweetened milk, then adding the ice.

CRUSHED CRACKER COLD BREW (CCCB)

Ingredients:

4Cold brew coffee (100ml)

4Chocolate Sauce (15ml)

4Milk (60ml

4Whipping cream (60ml)

4Powdered sugar (15gm)

4Marshmallow bits (20gm)

4Crushed graham cracker (20gm)

Directions:

4Beat whipping cream until soft peaks form.

4Add a tablespoon of powdered sugar and beat again until stiff peaks form.

4Fold in marshmallow bits.

415 dates

43-6 Tbsp hot water

FRAPPUCCINO

Ingredients:

416 almond milk ice cubes

42 cups (480ml) cold brew coffee

43-5 Tbsp date caramel

Directions:

4The night before, pour almond milk into a ice cube tray and freeze.

4You should have about 16 ice cubes.

4Make date caramel by adding 15-20 dates to a food processor or blender (in my experience, a food processor works best to get a creamy texture without much water).

4Pulse/mix on low until small bits remain, then stream in hot water while the blender is on until a paste is made.

4Add chocolate milk to the Cold brew coffee, top with marshmallow whipped cream and sprinkle with crushed graham crackers.

DATES ALMOND FRAPPUCCINO

Ingredients:

4Almond milk ice cubes

4480ml almond milk

450ml vanilla syrup

4Cold brew coffee

4Date caramel

4You will need to scrape the down sides and encourage it along periodically.

4Only add enough water to form a paste - too much and it will be too liquidy. Set aside.

4To make 2 frappuccinos, add all 16 ice cubes and 2 cups (480ml) cold brew coffee to a blender and blend on high until pureed and smooth.

4Add date caramel 1 Tbsp at a time and blend.

4Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more date caramel to sweeten.

Note: You will have leftover date caramel, which can be stored covered in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks. Divide between two tall serving glasses and top with whipped cream (optional). Best when fresh, though leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator for a few hours, or in the freezer for a few days.

MAPLE ALMOND COLD BREW

Ingredients:

41/2 cup or more plain unsweetened almond milk

42 Tbsp maple syrup pinch of sea salt

41 cup Cold brew

Directions:

4Divide almond milk and maple syrup between two glasses (or add all to the pitcher), and stir together with a pinch of sea salt.

4Add ice if desired.

4Serve cold! Cold-brewed coffee will keep for up to a week in the fridge.

4Add the milk, syrup and salt just before serving.
