Our favourite shoots tend to happen when we find ourselves discovering, exploring and (ultimately) highlighting the quaintest workshops and most wonderful studios - whimsical places of work and passion. This morning we ended up in @downtownguelph at @dimarshoerepair where owner / master craftsperson Pablo Hadarits brought us into the heart of his fantastic shoe repair and leather business. The place has been serving its customers for 35 years now - first as Pablo’s dad Diego’s workshop and now as Pablo’s home away from home. Need repairs. Get to Dimar. And say hi from us! #shoplocal

What a great treat it was for the TOQUE team to vi

What a great treat it was for the TOQUE team to visit Dr Karen Houle at the ‘Food from Home = Food for Home’ community garden / urban farm she co-founded a few years back. At present, this initiative - based in Guelph - provides garden plots for dozens of newcomers to Canada to grow vegetables and other crops from their homelands as a means of strengthening culture, enabling memory, and building community. This community garden initiative is one of many ways that ‘Our Food Future Guelph-Wellington’ is building innovative and essential circular food systems and economies for our region and beyond. Look out for a full piece in our upcoming ‘Food Issue’ - due out in October. #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 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
