One of my favourite things about sunny weather has to be flowers. All my friends know that I love them, they’re constantly popping up in my Instagram stories, and there’s hardly a day that I don’t stop for a moment to admire whatever budding blossom that comes across my path and I get to look at flowers at Lowes everyday!

I am in love with re-discovering the province that was my home for such a long time. I’m looking foward to returning for Montréal375! When I immigrated to Montréal in 1969, it was the beginning of what came to be a love of our adopted country.

I have the fondest memories of growing up on the West Island and then attending McGill University when it was my turn. I spent many an evening at the Montreal Jazz Festival when it was in its infancy. This year it will celebrate its 38th anniversary. Not to be missed, the festival runs from June 28th to July 8th. This year’s headliners will include Bob Dylan, Diana Krall, Buddy Guy, Melissa Ethridge and many more. I loved that the streets of the city are closed down so you could walk around and listen to the different stages, take in the buskers and artist that popped up everywhere. As Montreal celebrates its 375 Anniversary, the city has decided to make an even bigger party by combining with Canada’s sesquicentennial.
