Bask in the shade with new episodes on APN

As we sharpen our pencils for the back-to-school grind, we're also decidedly taking it easy. Hanging out in the shade and nibbling on icy treats, we're happy to present this week's newest episodes from the APN cohort.

Have a chilled out final week of August, all — and best wishes for your pre-Labour Day meal prep! Remember to stay hydrated out there, pals.
