Black Goat Cashmere

Thirty Years of Sculptural Style

Move through an entire day with fashion that adapts. Find pieces that look sharp, work hard and transition seamlessly as you step through your day—strength training, meetings, a muddy dog walk or a short hike—without cycling through five different outfits. Focus on smart layering, versatility and clever choices that allow the day to flow. These pieces are iconic, practical and unmistakably Vancouver Island.

Where Modern Style Meets Old-World Mastery

Captivating visitors with award-winning wines, architectural grandeur, and immersive cultural programming, Mission Hill Family Estate offers experiences that linger long after each visit. Yet, tucked within its stone passages lies an unexpected destination: The Boutique. More than a retail space, it is a curated world where craftsmanship, heritage, and beauty come together, reshaped each year through the thoughtful vision of David Amos. His work transforms what could be a traditional gift shop into a sensory journey that encourages guests to pause, explore, and experience the estate in an entirely new way.

It always begins with the little things — the perfect cup of coffee in hand as sunlight pours through a window, or a dish so comforting it lingers in your mind long after the last bite. That is the spirit of Liv Café and Bistro in Oak Bay — a place where love, flavour, and creativity come together in the most beautiful way.

The Canadian West rewards those who build with intention. Its landscapes demand it — the scale of the Rockies, the luminous stillness of the Okanagan, the urban ambition of Calgary each call for something more considered than the ordinary. Since 2009, Allison Grafton has answered that call through Rockwood Custom Homes, establishing a distinct model of luxury residential construction rooted in alignment, accountability, and design excellence.

Comfort at Every Turn

Built With Purpose,

Quietly Exporting Canadian Design to the World

Picture this as your next move, not someday, but now. In Chartwell, one of West Vancouver’s most established residential neighbourhoods, this is where you step into more space, more ease, and a home that simply fits the way you live.

A Family Story Written in Wood and Stone

In the Canadian landscape, luxury unfolds through snowy quiet, rugged mountains, and the serene pull of lakefront living. For those who dream of a getaway that reflects their lifestyle, values, and aspirations, Alair Homes has emerged as the premier creator of custom vacation residences across North America. With each project, the company brings together thoughtful design, local expertise, and a commitment to craftsmanship that ensures every home is a lasting investment in both comfort and long-term value.

Some rooms are lived in, but the kitchen is lived with — a place where people naturally come together, shaping the heartbeat of a home. It is the place where families gather without thinking, where stories are exchanged between simmering pots, and where the rituals of daily life take shape. Even in the most contemporary architecture, the kitchen remains the anchor, a space that radiates warmth, purpose, and connection. On Vancouver Island, where nature is woven into every facet of daily living, this truth feels even more profound. It is here that the work of David Coulson has, for four decades, embraced the notion that a kitchen is not merely a functional space, but a living expression of how people inhabit their homes and their surroundings.

Fall at Muse & Merchant arrives with a quiet shift, guided not by the calendar but by the way the showroom begins to glow with deeper colours, layered textures, and small pockets of inviting comfort. At the core of this transformation is Head Buyer Anita Tiernan, whose eye for global craftsmanship and love of storytelling through design shape every corner. Her seasonal vision brings together pieces that inspire connection, spark imagination, and encourage everyone to embrace a more intentional kind of cozy.

Moments of true alignment in real estate are rare — when landscape, lifestyle, and long-term vision converge to create a setting that feels effortless yet exceptional. In the Interior of British Columbia, buyers are discovering exactly that. From the Okanagan’s vineyard-studded hills and pristine lakes to Whistler’s world-class mountain vistas, the region offers properties that reflect every interpretation of luxury. While definitions may differ, one constant remains: given the scale and significance of these investments, each home deserves a level of service and expertise that matches its value — a standard that has been in the making at Unison Real Estate Brokerages for nearly a decade.

A Journey Through Nature and Spirit

There is something quietly captivating about arriving somewhere by water. The hum of the motor fades, the dock sways beneath your feet, and before you stretches a coastal escape unlike any other. The Prestige Oceanfront Resort in Sooke welcomes you with the grace of an old-world seaside retreat, where palm trees line wide verandas, sunlight glimmers across the harbour, and time itself seems

It begins with an elevator ride that feels like a quiet ascent into another world. The doors open, and you step into Suite X at the Fairmont Pacific Rim — a space where the familiar elegance of a luxury hotel merges with the creative spirit of Douglas Coupland. Suddenly, you are not simply a guest checking in for a staycation. You are stepping into a living artwork, one that hums with energy, nostalgia, and humour. Every corner, every colour, and every curious object seems to whisper a story about who we are and the times we live in.

In the heart of the Interior of British Columbia, winter transforms the landscape into a playground of energy, adventure, and endless snowy excitement. Big White Resort invites guests of all ages to dive into experiences that are vibrant, memorable, and perfect for embracing the wonder of the season.

Discovering Connection Through Canadian Art

There is a moment, when standing before a work by Mark Ollinger, when the eye stops trying to follow the line and begins to feel it instead. What starts as a simple curve becomes a cascade of bends, folds, and returns, mirroring the emotional loops that shape a life. His practice, rooted in wood, fibres, and intricately constructed forms, invites viewers to consider how consciousness travels through time, building meaning through repetition and renewal. The line, in Ollinger’s hands, becomes language, memory, and sensation at once.

Growth and Renewal in a Unique and Humble Artistic Medium

Brigitte and Henning Freybe had devoted much of their lives to a profound engagement with art. From the 1970s onward, they embarked on a journey of collecting that grew into a legacy of both cultural significance and personal meaning. What began as a way to remain connected to their German heritage evolved into a collection that spanned continents and decades.

Ballet Victoria, British Columbia’s only professional classical ballet company, continues to redefine the boundaries of the art form while nurturing the next generation of extraordinary talent. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Paul Destrooper, this boutique company of 14 dancers has steadily evolved from a regional ensemble into a respected international arts organization, acclaimed for its daring productions and dedication to technical excellence.

In a world where image often overshadows authenticity, Mitch Zorn is a rare breed — a hardworking guy with a guitar and a story to tell. Zorn isn’t an ‘in your face’ kind of fella; more often, he prefers to let his lyrics do the talking.
