Cheapflights.ca Says Bon Appetit Canada

TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - Jul 3, 2014) - It's summertime in Canada and the "livin' is easy". After months of winter, Canadians know how to fully embrace and appreciate the sun, warmth and outdoors. So it's no surprise that Canadians take advantage of this time of year to eat and drink alfresco -- from restaurant patios to backyard barbeques to under-the-star campfires topped off with yummy s'mores. The travel experts at Cheapflights.ca, the online experts in finding and publishing travel deals, add food festivals to this outdoor menu and give you a tasting of what's ahead with their Top 8 Summer Food Festivals across Canada.
