Leavenworth during the holidays features more than half a million lights that twinkle from Thanksgiving through February, creating a picturesque Christmas atmosphere.

Admin parties are the modern equivalent of a barn-raising, where friends gather to tackle their to-do lists together, making the process enjoyable and productive.

"People were working from home, there were people starting to become what we call digital nomads, and people realized they had more flexibility in life," Speer said.

When the Budget was released, I was shocked to find out that Prime Minister Carney is cutting $7billion between Indigenous Services Canada and Crown-Indigenous Relations. They provided $0 to deal with the ongoing genocide of MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+. This is abhorrent. This is callous.

Witness Laura Torres described the shooting, stating, 'First it was sporadic, then one shot after another, then sporadic again,' indicating the chaotic nature of the event.

Mexico City proper's population was more than 9 million people in 2020, and including the surrounding metro area, is estimated at over 23 million in 2026.

Starting next month, the cost of renouncing your U.S. citizenship will go down dramatically - a boon for people already shouldering the burden of paying for a major overseas move. Anyone wishing to formally shed their American citizenship is required to obtain a form called a Certificate of Loss of Nationality, and right now it comes with a whopping $2,350 fee. In April, that fee will drop by 80% to $450.

Savannah is one of my favorite cities in the world, and, in my opinion, spring is its best season to visit. The famous Spanish-moss-draped squares are framed by blooming azaleas in late March and April, and temperatures are typically in the 70s.

The Bloor-Yorkville corridor gets a lot of attention for its shopping, but for families, it's the Royal Ontario Museum around the corner, smooth subway access, leafy streets for stroller walks, and density of good cafés that make it the neighborhood worth settling into.

There's something about the holiday season that makes us all feel like kids again. Maybe it's the crisp air, the smell of pine, or the anticipation of gathering with loved ones. For me, though, it's the lights. Those twinkling, shimmering displays that transform ordinary streets into something magical. Across America, entire towns take this tradition seriously, turning themselves into winter wonderlands that draw visitors from all over the world.

The snow day email arrives before dawn, glowing softly on my phone. Even after all these years, that early morning message still feels like a small miracle a quiet signal that the city has agreed to pause. As a child, it felt like winning a secret lottery. As an adult and a school principal, the feeling hasn't left me.

Vancouver has experienced an unusually warm winter, on track to be its first without snow in 43 years. Even the bees were out in Vancouver Thursday. (Nav Rahi/CBC) The city is already looking lush and green after one of its warmest Januarys on record. Some of its famed cherry blossoms were blooming by the middle of last month, and have since been joined by daffodils and other flowers.

Over the past seven years, I've worked for multiple companies shipping blockchain integrations and production-grade financial infrastructure in Lagos, Amsterdam, and now Toronto. I started my career in Nigeria, where I was born and raised, and moved to Amsterdam in May 2023 after a short career break for a job as a senior software engineer. I returned to Nigeria after a year and worked until I received my Canadian work visa through my wife in October 2024.

A long weekend is finally upon us and it's bound to be a busy one with the Olympics, Valentine's Day and Family Day. The holiday weekend comes just as daytime temperatures slowly warm up into the positive degrees after weeks of brutal winter weather. If you're planning ahead to celebrate or break free from your winter hibernation, here's a list of what's open and closed on the holiday Monday.

Love made me leave behind a place right near my parents in Houston to join my partner in a town without a single restaurant. I'd first met my partner a decade earlier, but we'd reconnected more recently - while long-distance - over a shared love of stories, coffee, and baseball. From the beginning, it was clear that if we were to close the distance gap, it would be me who moved.
