Look what’s here!! Look out for ‘The Summer Issue’ - to be delivered across the region over this next week. This one’s taken a herculean effort to put out. We hope you love! #printisstillnotdead

Early morning vibes. Today we got up early to shoot Lenore Johnson of @lenjobakes as she baked up a storm for the long weekend rush. Look out for a full feature by @danikkay in our late July release. #nomnom

Today we had the immense privilege of chatting wit

Today we had the immense privilege of chatting with local food hero Dana Shortt (of @danashorttgourmet) about the long and winding road of entrepreneurship, what she does outside of her business, inspirational culinary meccas, and (while attending chef school) lugging prepared meals for clients across Toronto on the TTC to make ends meet. Look out for a feature on this Uptown Waterloo superstar in our upcoming late July release. It’s gonna be a good one!!

About last night… Yesterday the TOQUE team trave

About last night… Yesterday the TOQUE team traveled to Stratford to spend an entire day with Chef Arron Carley and his Keystone Hospitality team. Breakfast at Brch & Wyn, lunch at Little Green Grocer, cocktails at The Alley, dinner at Braai House and late night slushies at Bru Garden. Look out for a full feature in our Summer issue - dropping late July. It’s gonna be tasty!

Hard to believe sometimes that we’ve been at it

Hard to believe sometimes that we’ve been at it this long. And that, despite existing in this global pandemic that’s putting unforeseen pressures on so many industries (including ours), we’ve managed to keep creating objects of love through it all. We are so thankful to those folks and businesses who’ve stuck by us through thick and thin. And we hope that our support and advocacy for everything ‘regional’ hasn’t gone unnoticed as the movement to support local - restaurants, breweries, makers, dreamers, innovators - grows ever more important. Indeed, the battle cry ‘support local’ has never been more pertinent. For friends. And neighbours. And community. We love this region. And will continue to shine a light on it as long as we can. Because - in our minds - it’s the right thing to do. And because there’s no lack of amazing stories that set our corner of the planet apart. Enjoy the read. Cheers. #printisstillnotdead

Hey @arabellaparkbar fans - you’ll be excited to know that we made it to the mothership … Arabella’s cousin … @barstillwell in Halifax! And the wall looks as gorgeous in person as it does in photos. #bucketlist

This week the TOQUE team visits Halifax to check out all the cool spots. (Or some of them, at least.) One of our first spots: @garrisonbrewing down by the water. Check our stories and posts for all the gory details. And look out for feature in our next issue. #printishopefullynotdeadyet

Some days we pinch ourselves just to make sure we’re not dreaming! Yesterday lunch was one of those days. Look out for full feature on @shepherdspubelora in upcoming issue of TOQUE - if we can find paper by then!!! #nomnom

Pure bliss. We’re so happy to have received this pic from friend of the mag @pantarah enjoying her stay with a pedicure and a read at @elora_mill this weekend. Did you know that TOQUE is a chosen in-room publication for guests at the Mill, @thewalperhotel and @langdonhall too?!? And we even sneak into rooms at @brucestratford sometimes! Only the best for the best, as they say! Enjoy the read, Tarah. And the heavenly pampering too. #printisnotdead

You can tell a lot about people by the things they

You can tell a lot about people by the things they carry. The objects they use. The clothes they wear. The food and drink they consume. The provisions they embrace serve as emblems of lives lived. They signal (to the wearer, user, consumer – and to others) what roads they've travelled, their present position in life, what future adventures they might dream about. The people among whom we live are unlikely to gather seashells, like travellers in the Middle Ages did, to confirm where they'd arrived on a pilgrimage. But all carry evidence that gestures toward their interests and suggests where they've been, who they are, and what they value. In this issue the focus is on provisions – supplies for living. And things that add colour and flavour and fulness to experience. These might include the most basic staples, but also locally-crafted items, ethically-sourced products. Sustainable goods, curated gear, and vintage treasures. Pieces that are functional, aesthetic, aspirational – stepping stones for healthy living, and happy times, and meaningful experiences and memories. Here we shine a light on those folks who bring provisions to life. Because there are so many of them here in our region. Makers. Farmers. Curators. Builders. Far too often they don’t get the attention they deserve – or the patronage they need. After all, the giants of commerce are only a click away. If this pandemic has taught us anything, it’s the convenience of online shopping. And the concomitant vulnerabilities of our local creative industries. We might best be driven not so much by what's convenient, or perhaps even by what's sustainable, but by what can sustain us and/in our communities. Now more than ever it's time to support local. Shop local. Look to our neighbours for the things we value, the things we need. At this time in this world we need to look to each other for the things we carry. The objects we use. The clothes we wear. The food and drink we consume. After all, they’re all right here. Those provisions that enliven our lives and promise to fortify us for the journey. Emblems of, resources for, lives well lived. Welcome to ‘The Provisions Issue.’
