Yesterday my husband and I, along with our cousins, took a drive to Prescott Ontario, We had decided to visit the Portolano Outlet. It was really a beautiful store, so much to see and choose from. The softest leather gloves,the warm and soft wool hats, the shawls, the blankets, as well as the woolen gloves, I also really enjoyed the company of the store manager, as well as the sales associate Karen. They are so pleasant and I must say the manager did explain the full history of the Portolano brand name. I would highly recommend a visit to Portolano if you are in the Prescott area. Or just looking for a day trip away. I know for sure I will be going back.

Located in an abandoned Hershey’s factory in Smiths Falls, the Tweed Visitor Centre is more than a window into the world of cannabis - it’s a fascinating look into the past, present and future of our favourite plant. From the moment you arrive to peeking into working grow rooms, your senses will be engaged and your minds opened as you explore the history, science and culture of cannabis. An educational theatre experience challenges preconceptions and highlights society’s changing relationship over 10,000 years. Discover the complexities of the cannabis plant and learn about the role of terpenes, and witness our bean to bar artisanal chocolate production. Finish off your tour with a cup of coffee, browse through our collection of books, and stop by the gift shop for something special to remember us by. We hope this behind-the-scenes tour will broaden your understanding of cannabis and inspire new perspectives.

From entering the parking lot to the end of the tour, we really enjoyed speaking with the employees. Special shout-out to Rebecca ("Blue") and John for the great tour which was well organized, informative and interesting. The factory itself is unbelievable clean! We were greeted in the parking lot by some of the staff on their lunch break. They were all really friendly and smiling. At the end of the tour we milled about in the merchandise area and had nice, informative conversations with Blue and some other female staff. We really liked Blue in particular for her warm, friendly manner. She is definitely a good representative to be the 'Face for Tweed'. Don't ever let her...or John leave!

CLOSED as of October 3rd, for the 2020 season. Stay safe and see you in 2021. No fee but please look for our RED DONATION BINS. Key features of the Tunnel restoration include a paved concrete floor, a music program and state-of-the-art energy efficient lighting for safety and to highlight the Tunnel’s architecture and geology. Canada's First Railway Tunnel was completed in 1860 for the Brockville and Ottawa Railway and later owned by the CP Railway until being acquired by the City of Brockville in 1983. The Tunnel is a remarkable example of Canada’s pre-Confederation industrial heritage that has been repurposed for the benefit of recreation, tourism and economic development. . * Daily Access may be limited due to private rentals.

The Railway Tunnel is located in downtown Brockville and is a free attraction, although donations are welcomed. We stayed in an AirBnB in Brockville and were in walking distance to the tunnel. The tunnel is quite a bit cooler than the outside air and a light sweater or raincoat is good to have during summer months. Water occasionally drips from above, but it wasn’t too bad. You can walk the tunnel in about 30 minutes (one way). Inside the tunnel is a music and light show that lasts 90 minutes and repeats. The tunnel is open from spring to fall and closes after a special show around Halloween.

Needs more parking maybe. Mostly you need to park on grass. Not the safest with red hot catalytic converters sitting on dry grass. Great trails.
