22 The Greenest Restaurant in Canada
A visit to a country bistro that answers two important questions: Can you find good food in the boonies and how hard is it for a restaurant to go green? By Tom Cruickshank
24 A Taste of Honey
…Tasting much sweeter than wine. With Herb Alpert’s old ’60s nugget echoing in our heads, we put various types of honey to the taste test. By Tom Cruickshank
26 This Year, I Resolve to…Go Green
33 ways every family can make its carbon footprint a little smaller this year. By Ann Brightman
Tony Kryzanowski lives in St. Albert, just outside Edmonton. A journalism grad from Carleton University in Ottawa, he has earned a living in news and magazine writing for over 25 years, the last 18 as a freelancer. Among his areas of interest are forestry, agriculture and the natural sciences. He brought the home of Keith and Kim Rowe to our attention and “An Alberta Bale Tale” is the result. See page 68. 
An accomplished photographer, Maggie Lennon was the creative eye behind the lens for “An Alberta Bale Tale” (page 68). Based in Calgary, she is the “Mag” half of Magelles, her partnership with fellow photographer Ellie Brewer.
Ann Brightman got a lesson in green living when she sat down to write “This Year, I Resolve to… Go Green,” (page 26). Preparing the story made her take a second look at the little changes she could make to her own lifestyle that could help make a difference. Ann hails from Cobourg, Ontario, where she also writes on such topics as animals, pets, nature and gardening.
Special thanks to Winnipeg photographer Mike Grandmaison for risking frostbite for our cover shot. It was a cold day in Birds Hill Provincial Park when he spotted the perfect scene: a small grove of trees etched in hoar frost against a stunning blue sky. Whenever he spots hoar frost, Mike will drop whatever he’s doing. “It melts quickly and a slight breeze can ruin the scene in no time.” Nice work, Mike.
