For example, there's50 Reasons to Stay Home This Summer by Jim Sutherland in our May 1992 issue, including fresh corn, straight from the field in every province, feeling the earth shake at Skookumchuck Narrows on the Sunshine Coast, the 200-plus flavours at (the still churning) MacKay's Ice Cream just north of Calgary, andweirdlywatching kangaroo rats scamper around in Osoyoos.
Skookumchuck Narrows.
