In case you missed it with all the holiday hubbub, registration for the Winter Leisure Guide opened on December 14. Like my post-celebration waistline, the adult leisure section boasts an ever expanding foodie section.

Fall 2011 Winnipeg Leisure Guide Goes Live
Looks like the city’s tightening the purse strings. Instead getting a copy of the Fall 2011 Winnipeg Leisure Guide, I got a flyer advertising its launch on August 29.

2011 Leisure Guide is Live!
One of the most awaited moments in the March foodie calendar, the Spring 2011 Winnipeg Leisure Guide is live.

Given that two of my favourite leisure activities are cooking and eating, I’m always thrilled […]
