Editor’s Message I
n summer, Te ‘Peg is hot. Visitors are often surprised at how a city known as Winterpeg can have such amazing summers. Personally, I think they are unparalleled. Maybe you have to be born here to take the same pride in our hot summers as you do in our cold winters, but whatever the case, we attack both seasons with gusto. Tis season, locals and visitors take to the outdoors in droves − BBQ’s, patios, weekends at the beach and evening strolls become a way of life as the summer festival season begins. Troughout the province and in every corner of the city you will find Winnipeggers celebrating something. With the number of festivals, fairs and outdoor activities available across the city and at most map dots across the province, it is little wonder that most people are enjoying the fresh air. From amaz- ing music festivals, art and culture festivals, fairs and farmers’ markets there is something for everyone. Our province really has so much to offer. Summer is also a great time to take a holiday. Tis issue we look at some of the coolest cit- ies in the world – in Canada, the U.S. and U.K. – for fantastic summer getaways. Explore the new Sea-to-Sky Highway in Vancouver; the lights of Broadway in New York, the city that never sleeps; and get inside tips from a London local, London, England that is. And if you feel like venturing north, learn about Flin Flon; it is sure to surprise you. Of course, we’ve also included a couple of great recipes to give you a taste of these amazing travel destinations. Enjoy yourself this summer, be it at home or abroad.

Follies and Agricultural Fair in St. Pierre-Jolys (July 9 to 12) or the Winkler Harvest Festival (Aug. 7 to 9), be sure to stop by the Winnipeg Airports Authority’s booth and spin the wheel! Tis is our second year of travelling around the province to different events. It’s a great way to connect with the community and support these rural festivals. Staff at Winnipeg Airports Authority will also be spending more time outside this season
T
as they plant their annual airport garden in support of Winnipeg Harvest. Tis season marks our 20th year of participating in the Grow-A-Row program. Whether you’re from the area or visiting, there’s a lot to see and do this summer. If you’re seeking fun for the whole family, we suggest you take in a production at Rainbow Stage, an outdoor theatre nestled in the heart of Kildonan Park in the north end of Winnipeg. Or, if you’re looking for something to give your brain a workout, you can test your problem-solving and teamwork skills at Te Real Escape. When you’re tired from all the fresh air and outdoor activities, kick back and read this issue
of Te Hub to learn about Winnipeg’s deep music history and the many legendary bands and solo artists that have roots in our province. On behalf of the team at Winnipeg Richardson International Airport, we hope you have an amazing summer filled with adventures and good times with family and friends. Have fun being a “tourist” and take advantage of the opportunity to travel and try something new.
here’s nothing quite like a Manitoba summer to make you feel alive and inspired. Te days are long, the winds are warm and everyone flocks outdoors to enjoy the many summer activities, festivals and local attractions. If you find yourself at Summer in the City in Steinbach (June 19 to 21), Frog
