Dawson Dental Centre's talented fang-fixers use the latest tooth-care techniques and equipment to enhance tainted tusks and mangled molars, whether it is family, cosmetic, or orthodontic dental care.

Used in conjunction with a brightening peroxide gel, the trays will allow customers to increase the reflectivity of their smiles in the comfort of their own homes. Results are usually seen after about one week's worth of daily treatment, revealing shiny mouthcessories free of coffee, tobacco, and Kool-Aid stains.

Jim Aru wasn't always a believer in chiropractic care, but it has had a profound impact on both his professional and personal life. After suffering a lower-back injury while playing football at Queen's University, he agreed to put his skepticism aside and follow a suggestion to see a chiropractor. Aru found a renewed athleticism and freedom from pain after treatment, and decided that he wanted to help other people experience that same healing. While earning his doctorate at Palmer College of Chiropractic, he met fellow student Heather Voisin. The two chiropractors are now married, and continue to lead a healthy lifestyle together: Doctor of Chiropractic Aru coaches rugby at a local high school and is on the Cambridge YMCA's board of directors, and Doctor of Chiropractic Voisin has run in multiple marathons. Of course, the duo also receives regular chiropractic care to maintain their overall wellness.

Dr. Aru assists patients with a variety of adjustment techniques at Aru Chiropractic, including the table-based Thompson technique and the traditional Diversified method. He also employs the Gonstead Technique, which uses a heat-sensing instrument to identify subluxation patterns and incoming acorn missiles launched by squirrels. Prior to treatments, patients kick back in a welcoming reception area replete with warm red-and-orange paintings, wood floors, and bright floral arrangements.

Spread across 270 historic acres, Knollwood Golf Course is a challenging 36-hole facility comprised of the Old Course set right alongside the New Course—both designed by well-regarded course superintendent Jack Harris in 1970 and 1990, respectively. Players can opt for a round on the Old Course or the New Course links and enjoy hole designs that embrace the natural Ancaster topography. Elevated tees and long, perplexing par 5 holes with ominous names such as Buried Treasure and Redemption lead to finely timed fairways that open up into stirring panoramas. The New Course entices advanced club swingers, and the Old Course's more accessible series of par 4 holes with large, accommodating greens is appealing for beginners.

Knollwood players don clean-cut golf attire and enjoy a golfer's paradise that has been open to the public since 1970 and keeps players happy with sprightly paced 10-minute tee times, on-site restaurants and beverage carts, and a "no-argue" rain cheque policy. The facility's proud groundskeepers maintain large, naturalized areas on the course intended to encourage the wildlife to thrive and occasionally join in on a game.
