ASKATCHEWAN knows how to make the most of summer. After months of waiting for warm breezes, backyard visits and late sunsets, the season arrives with an open invitation to get outside, gather often and enjoy the city in full colour.
This summer issue of Fresh is all about easy inspiration for the days ahead. It is not about overplanning or making things complicated. It is about saying yes to simple pleasures, like a movie under the stars, a last-minute visit with friends, and a crisp salad that feels like a full meal.
Inside, readers will find ideas for creating a backyard movie night with a projector, cozy seating and snacks that make the whole evening feel special. The summer hosting feature offers practical ways to keep the home ready for casual drop-ins, deck hangs and backyard gatherings without turning entertaining into a chore.
There is also plenty of seasonal style and flavour. Fresh salads that satisfy bring hearty, colourful recipes to the table for meals that feel light, filling and full of flavour.
This issue also celebrates the return of Best of the Best, a showcase of local businesses, services and community standouts. It is a reminder that some of the best experiences, products and people can be found right here in Regina and area. Every visit and recommendation helps shine a light on the local favourites that keep the city moving.
Looking ahead to September, Fresh also features the Queen City Marathon as it prepares to bring Regina to life for a full weekend of movement, community and celebration. Runners, walkers, volunteers and spectators all play a part in one of the city’s most energetic traditions.
Summer does not need to be perfect to be memorable. Sometimes the best moments are the simplest ones: a blanket on the lawn, friends at the door, fresh food on the table and a community worth celebrating.
Wishing you a joyful and sunny season,
