1. What are three reasons you love
Edmonton in the summer?
My top three reasons are:
• Patio season
• Segway tours with River Valley
Adventure Co. (pg 68)
• And one of the many delectable
treats served up by the city’s food
trucks

2. Where would you send someone for
a refreshing cocktail?
I love sitting bar side at Woodwork
(pg 56) and watching them craft their
amazing sips! Some of my favourite
summer cocktails there are Beach
Grass, Pineapple Express, and the
Citrus Mojito.
4. What do you recommend for
someone looking for a quick and tasty
bite to eat?
Definitely District Café & Bakery (pg
53)! You can find a quick bite here
for any time of day. My fave is the
Pulled Chicken Sandwich with a mint
chimichurri and a creamy aioli. Be sure
to save room for their house-made
sweet treats!
Les Clefs d’Or Concierges have been
opening doors for hotel guests in Canada
since 1976, and today there are more than
150 members from coast to coast and more
than 3,500 members worldwide! You can
find Nella at the Fairmont Hotel Macdonald.

3. What are your favourite festivals to
check out in July and August?
In July, I’m at Sand on Whyte (pg 37)
watching artists from around the world
showcase their artistic carvings and
stunning castles. And in August, I love
the Edmonton Folk Music Festival
(pg 37), which is four days packed
with great music, delicious food,
and a gorgeous view of our city from
Gallagher Park!
