With its abundance of natural materials, organic forms and breathtaking views, this cozy and welcoming family cottage can be admired simply for its sheer beauty and craftsmanship. Look closer, however, and you’ll see that functionality abounds here in equal measure.

This September 19, United Boxing Club and M Builds will present the 11th installment of The Melee Gala at the Club Regent Entertainment Centre. This year’s card features a matchup between the Canadian and United States National Boxing Teams, with seven international bouts set. 

For many homeowners, the idea of downsizing begins with a practical question: Do I still need all this space? But more often, the decision becomes about something much bigger than square footage. Downsizing is about creating more time, more ease, and more freedom in everyday life.

The Banks Condominiums, a brand-new concrete condominium community by StreetSide Developments, is nearing completion on the Red River. After much anticipation, homebuyers and prospects can now step inside a brand-new display suite and experience the vision for this riverside community coming to life.

There’s something magical that happens when a designer and homeowner have a natural synergy. That’s exactly how this lakeside home came to express itself so beautifully, especially when it came to the cabinetry.

Nature has always been one of our greatest sources of inspiration. Whether inspired by a woodland trail, a prairie sunset, or a lush garden in full bloom, these organic palettes offer a timeless starting point for any room.

We believe, every single day, that people deserve flowers. Not just for the grand occasions - but for ordinary Tuesdays and the thank-yous that feel too big for words.

Glass used to be the quiet part of a home – something to be seen through and not heard. Exterior windows and a mirror or two were its limits. But now – without shouting for too much attention – glass is adding itself into the interiors of homes and changing how we look at this versatile design element. 

Summer renovations look better and last longer when you work with the best. For example, Warren, Manitoba-based Keytek Steelworks is a ten-year-old family business with a solid reputation for custom metal fabrication and high-quality railing systems, unique privacy screens, and best-in-class fire pits.

The backyard has quietly become one of the busiest “rooms” in the house. It’s no longer just a spac e for summer lounging, but a place where basketballs echo after dinner, kids turn every surface into an obstacle course and couples reignite their competitive streak over a pickleball match. Increasingly, Manitoba families are rethinking what a backyard should be; instead of a seasonal afterthought, it’s about creating a living space built to grow and evolve throughout the seasons and years.

“This is where the magic happens.”

These few words hand painted by Winnipeg artist Kal Barteski on a wall at Aqua Essence Swim Academy carry a lot of meaning at this full-service swim space located in Winnipeg’s Kenaston Common.

The brainchild of founder Rishona Hyman, a.k.a. “the Head Fish,” Aqua Essence is Manitoba’s only private swim school that has a pool with a deep end. This distinction is one of the many reasons more than 1,700 students a week – ranging in age from four months to adult – take lessons here, gaining confidence in their swim abilities and to thrive in other areas of their lives.

The garden’s looking lush and green, the evenings are warm and our weekends start to disappear. We head to the lake or the cabin, find a favourite patio, pack a picnic for the park or chase whatever adventures we can fit in. Summers in Manitoba have this way of making us want to do everything all at once and, for a few short months, we almost believe we can.

Named after the Icelandic word for life (pronounced i-vee), AEVI was created as more than a boutique, salon, and spa – it was designed as a place to slow down, feel inspired, and experience luxury in a way that feels welcoming and effortless.

From the moment you step through our doors on Taylor Avenue, you’ll understand why so many describe AEVI as their second home. Settle into our living room with a cup of tea, enjoy a moment of relaxation while you’re pampered, and wander through a boutique thoughtfully curated for women who appreciate timeless style.

The classic question of “What should I wear?” presents the perfect opportunity to elevate your wardrobe as the temperature skyrockets. Embrace these simple suggestions for an instant style upgrade for your summer activities. 

There’s a strange thing that happens to women in midlife that nobody really prepares you for. Somewhere between raising kids, surviving careers, managing relationships, paying bills, caring for everyone else, and quietly carrying the emotional weight of life for decades, something begins to shift. 

You stop caring as much. Not in a sad way. In a freeing way. And honestly? It’s a little disorienting at first. 

At Concordia Aesthetics, clients are discovering a revolutionary approach to body transformation with EMSCULPT NEO: a technology that simultaneously builds muscle and reduces fat in a single 30-minute session.

There are some places that become more than just a venue – they become part of a person’s story. For Winnipeg singer-songwriter Nahla Moon, that place is Park Alleys. Tucked beneath its neon glow and familiar soundtrack of strikes, spares, and friendly conversation, the historic bowling alley has become what she affectionately calls her “living room” – a gathering place that has supported her through life’s highs and lows and connected her to a vibrant creative community. 

Summer has finally arrived, and the long days filled with warm sunshine, backyard barbecues, beach outings, and weekends at the lake are some of the things Manitobans look forward to all winter long. After months of bundling up and spending time indoors, summer offers a refreshing opportunity to get outside, reconnect with family and friends, and enjoy an active lifestyle without it feeling like work.
