Hey Community,
Goodbye summer, it’s been swell! Thanks for the pool parties and the tan but now we say hello to fall. If cozy was a season, it would be fall. There’s no better time of year to curl up with a good book, a hot cup of tea, and gaze out the window at the trees. Plus, it’s when Halloween and Thanksgiving, arguably the two best holidays, happen. Here are four reasons why fall might be our favourite season:
1. The Outdoors are Drop Dead Gorgeous
We dare you to name a prettier time of year than when trees turn from green to brown, yellow, and orange. There’s no need for Netflix when you can binge-watch this foliage.
2. The Food is Nap-Inducing
The food this time of year is so good you have to pass out after eating it. We’re talking turkey, stuffing, gravy, pumpkin pie…even listing these foods is making us sleepy.
3. Warm Drinks Galore
Speaking of food, let’s talk about the drinks. Fall is the best time of year to sip hot chocolate, warm apple cider, or tea. It’s the perfect contrast for that crisp fall breeze.
4. Back-to-School Season
There is a magical element to Back-to-School season that you can’t simply ignore. The pure nostalgia of starting a new school year leaves us with fond memories and brings an aura of new beginnings in the air.
Now we want to hear your favourite thing about fall! Comment below by 12 PM ET on September 10 and tell us what you love most about the fall season. To help spice up your fall wardrobe, we will select three winners at random who will receive a $50 gift card to Cadillac Fairview. Now go outside and watch the leaves change!

It's always fun to visit Calgary ZoomLights and Spruce Meadows in fall.

I do love fall and reminds me of many momentous times in my life both happy and sad like being a young Halloween bride and the loss of a great partner in life. It his life that I continue to celebrate every October by making my annual trip to Winnipeg and riding bikes in crisp cool weather. Enjoying the explosion of autumn colours and visiting the most beautiful cemetery to be laid to rest in....
And a perfect prelude to those who made the greatest sacrifice for all our freedom...lest we forget.

Right now and for the next few weeks is watching the incredible amount of Monarch Butterflies making their way south for the winter. Must have seen a hundred of them yesterday near the lake.

Yeah, the leaves are nice. To be honest, I hate Fall! It marks the end of summer. Reminds us that winter is around the corner.

Style! Fall is the best season for sweater weather: it's cold enough to wear a sweater but not so cold that you need a jacket (at least sometimes, depending on where in the country you live). I'm loving my sweater collection right now, so fall is perfect!!

It's the season of new iPhones 📱!

Love how the air starts to get nippy in the morning! Also, the colour of the leaves as they change.
09-03-2019 01:32 PM
I love starting school and seeing all of my friends!
09-03-2019 01:29 PM
To me, September is the real "new year". The leaves change, it's a new school year, there are new activities for the kids, and work starts picking up again after summer vacation. I love that everything feels like a fresh start.
09-03-2019 01:28 PM
Fall! We welcome you!
Among everyone else it is definitely Fall weather. Beautiful fall breeze, amazing colours, and sweater weather of course 🙂
09-03-2019 01:26 PM
100% this. This is one of the best seasons to take photos in.
09-03-2019 12:57 PM
I like the weather in the fall. Not too hot, not too cold. Beautiful colours too.
09-03-2019 12:55 PM
It's the season that PM seems to offer their best promos!
Lets keep it going!!

Highlights of fall for me: Thanksgiving, Halloween, Black Friday, and the weather. Not necessarily in that order.
09-03-2019 12:42 PM
Bonfires & beers 😁

My favorite thing about fall is wearing baggy pull over hoodies, warm knitted wool sweaters, fall boots, basically the comfy cozy clothes.
As well as the smell, the cold crisp fresh air
09-03-2019 12:19 PM
I like it because it is not so hot and humid AND it is a prelude to winter... I like the snow!
09-03-2019 12:17 PM
I want Summer to never end
09-03-2019 12:16 PM
Fall is great time to connect with friends and family. All this with while able to enjoy the beautiful change in seasons that nature brings.

My favorite part about fall are the Pine Parties..where we pick up pine needles and enjoy a cold one around the fire pit.
09-03-2019 11:48 AM
All the colours outdoors are great for photography during hikes.
09-03-2019 11:39 AM
The best thing about fall is going outside for a hike in the mountains and being surrounded by all these magnificent colors in the trees!
09-03-2019 11:29 AM
Thanksgiving dinner! And sweaters... Black Friday is great too

One of my favourite things about fall is hiking at different locations and conservation areas where there are many varieties of trees. I really enjoy seeing the foliage change colours and feeling the different textures of leaves when I am walking around. In September, along the Humber River there are salmon swimming upstream. It's amazing to watch the large fish jump out of the water. Each time a fish makes it over a waterfall there are a group of people cheering. I join in clapping and giggling with delight. Since the fall season is cooler, I often love drinking a hot chai latte with warm and delicious spices while walking hand in hand with my beloved partner. Ahhh... fall is amazing.
