Basu A feast for the senses awaits you in Ontario. From lush wilderness to urban adventures, Ontario offers a variety of year-round travel experiences and vacation ideas. Celebrate the seasons, arts, sports, heritage and culture. Whatever your passion, there's more to discover in Ontario. Due to Ontario's size, temperatures may vary tremendously from region to region and even within the regions themselves. Generally, the weather is considered continental, with January being the coldest month of the year and July being the warmest. Temperatures are given officially in degrees Celsius (C) with the Fahrenheit equivalent (F) often added. For an exact conversion of Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply the Celsius temperature by 9/5 and add 32. Many tourists visit Niagara Falls as it is an exceptional waterfall and a must if you enjoy waterfalls. It is believed that The City of Hamilton which is one hour drive away has the most number of waterfalls of any city in the world for its size of a half million people. To date 100 waterfalls and cascades have been found within the city boundaries earning it the nickname "The City of Waterfalls". __________Sights Edit This Point Pelee National Park Point Pelee National Park Joseph Hollick [Add Sight] West Montrose Covered Bridge Edit This West Montrose Covered Bridge in winter West Montrose Covered Bridge in winter photo by: Joseph Hollick The West Montrose Covered Bridge is the last remaining covered bridge in the province of Ontario.

The sun is warm on your arms and the breeze gentle on your skin. You’re paddling a canoe on a lake with forested shores, where neat cottages lie tucked away among the trees, and the only other creatures you’re likely to see are a pair of loons on the surface of the water, calling to each other with their haunting cry. Welcome to Algonquin Park, where time stands still, and the outside world is far away. This vast area, over 7,000 square kilometres of forest, lake and river, is located about two hours’ drive north of Toronto, in a remote part of Ontario, far from the noise and clamour of urban living. It’s a favourite destination for city dwellers, for a day trip, a weekend, or longer, and offers activities such as hiking, canoeing and camping or simply bird and nature watching. With hundreds of species of animals, birds, trees and plants, it’s not surprising that people are drawn there to catch a glimpse of a moose or a beaver or to see and photograph a rare plant. If you want to take a canoe trip, summer is the best time to go. If you’re travelling from Toronto, you’ll probably arrive mid-morning, so hire a canoe, paddles and life-jackets from the Portage Store - the supply station - a few miles inside the park. A good plan is to set out to cross Canoe Lake, and to enter one of the river systems that flow into that lake. Using a paddle gets tiring after a while, as you’ll soon find out, especially if the breeze picks up and slows your progress. So let the canoe drift in order to rest your arms while you take photos and look for any signs of life in the water. On one of these occasions, something wonderful may happen. The perfect stillness might suddenly be broken by the yodelling wail of a loon in the distance, followed immediately by its companion, taking up the call. You’ll sit transfixed, listening to this unbelievably beautiful sound echoing across the lake, loud and clear. Then as suddenly as it starts, it stops and silence returns. You’ll feel obliged to wait for a while, hoping in vain for a repeat performance, but it may not happen, so instead, head up one of the arms of the lake and after a mile or so and pull in at the shore. This is a portage, where the canoe has to be carried overland, to avoid a series of rapids on the river. Portages can vary in length from a few metres to a few kilometres, but thankfully, this is a short one. If you’re strong, you’ll be able to heave the canoe upside down onto your head and shoulders, while your companions carry bags, cameras and paddles along the trail to the riverbank. After a snack, set off again up the river, which is even calmer and warmer than the lake. Here, sounds travel for enormous distances. You’ll hear other canoeists chatting and laughing, but won’t be able to see them, and closer by, the chirping of cicadas in the afternoon heat and the lazy plopping sounds of fishes breaking the surface to catch flies is magnified by the perfect acoustics. On your return, you may find a marshy area, with its shallow muddy bottom full of fallen, moss-covered tree trunks, which will scrape the underside of the canoe as you pass over. Water lilies carpet the surface, and frogs sunbathe on their broad leaves. If you’re lucky, you’ll be greeted by a frog symphony! In the distance, a frog croaks “ribbid”, while another close by answers in a higher pitch. Others quickly join in, building up to a crescendo of raucous calls, punctuated here and there by the bass tones of a toad, and ending with a single, isolated “ribbid”, like a grand finale. You’ll paddle on, amused by what you’ve heard. Ahead of you, the surface of the water may be broken by a little head popping up, and looking around. A beaver, carrying a stick in his mouth, eyes you curiously, then slaps his tail on the water and swims on, no doubt to carry on with his construction work. You’ll cross the lake again, with the breeze in your favour this time, and arrive back at the pier, hot and exhausted, to have a meal in the café before setting off on the journey home. By the time you leave, the light is changing, and evening shadows ripple across the lake. With the sunset, the night shift appears – owls starting their nightly hunt, foxes and raccoons going on the prowl, and even a shy and elusive moose might appear from the shelter of the forest. The moon’s light casts a silver path across the water and silence returns to paradise. :::::::::Barry's Bay Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Balmoral Hotel built in 1894 Balmoral Hotel built in 1894 Joseph Hollick Barry's Bay is located at the intersection of Highway 60 and Highway 62 South in Ontario's beautiful Madawaska Valley in Renfrew County.

Visit www.mississaugatransit.com and www.gotransit.com for timetables, fares and other pertinent information. _______Getting There Edit This With its close proximity to Toronto, it can be surprising that the City of Mississauga benefits from much of the same transportation offerings as its neighbouring city of Toronto. GO Transit is the inter-regional carrier that radiates from Downtown Toronto (Union Station) and serves Mississauga at the Square One Transit Center in its City Center. In addition, the GO Train operates the Lakeshore Corridor service between the QEW and Lake Ontario, serving Long Branch, Port Credit and Clarkson stations.

Smith The City of Orillia is located on the shores of two lakes; Lake Simcoe (named after the British soldier and first lieutenant-governor of Upper Canada, JOHN GRAVES SIMCOE, (1752-1806), ) and Lake Couchiching (an Indian name which means Lake of Many Winds). From our shores we can go anywhere in the world. From Lake Couchiching we connect with the Trent-Severn Waterway, through three locks and the only marine railway in North America, which takes us to Georgian Bay on Lake Huron and if we travel the other way across Lake Simcoe we end up in Lake Ontario. From either one of the Great Lakes we connect to the St. Lawrence and the waterways of the World. The Village of Orillia was founded in 1867 (sharing the same birthyear as Canada), it was incorporated as a town in 1875 and then became a City in 1969. Many famous people have come from Orillia, such as famed singer songwriter Gordon Lightfoot, and Sir Sam Steele of the North West Mounted Police to name just a couple. Orillia has an impressive historical heritage. Samuel d’Champlain visited in the early 1600’s as well as LaSalle, Henry and Frobisher. At the “Narrows”, a small waterway that connects Lake Couchiching and Lake Simcoe there is evidence of ancient “fish weirs” that Huron and Iroquois people used to trap fish over 4000 years ago. There are several archaeological sites very close to us that gives us evidence that there were several trading, fishing and hunting camps that were visited for hundreds of years by the natives. Orillia is known as the “Sunshine City” in the heart of Lake Country. We have had many firsts in North America such as: Orillia had the first municipal hydro electric transmission plant in America, Orillia printed its own money in 1936. Orillia was the very first municipality to introduce “daylight saving time” and we had the best-lighted main streets on the continent in the 1930’s. The Champlain Monument (a National Historic Site) has been called one of the finest bronze sculptures on the continent. Orillia offers many different types of Restaurant fare One to mention is the Ossawippi Express Dining Cars, this is on the waterfront across from the Port of Orillia and at the gateway from the waterfront to the Downtown.

The County is home to artists, farmers, nature lovers, cyclists and Sandbanks Provincial Park. The County also offers galleries, shops, and a growing wine industry. The quiet roads connecting these towns offer great cycling opportunities. Aside from cycling or camping at Sandbanks, BEWARE: there is nothing to do! All shops close at 5 pm. Most restaurants offer mediocre, overpriced food, which makes one wonder why they insist on reservations and closing their doors before 8:30. One restaurant in particular, the Devonshire in Wellington, is especially unwelcoming. For such a beautiful area, one might expect hiking trails, cycling paths, farmer's markets, and water access to dot the countryside - this is not the case. Prepare to be disappointed in Prince Edward County. ::::::::St. Catharines Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see DeCew Falls DeCew Falls Joseph Hollick St. Catherines is a good base for visiting the Niagara Frontier.
