We were at U of T St. George Campus on Sat, Oct 5, for the 11AM campus tour (signed up online weeks earlier). We registered at Nona Macdonald Visitors Centre and, since we had a few mins to spare, used the washrooms while we waited for the tour to begin (no washroom break during the tour). The lobby was standing room only by the time one student staff made a brief introduction and proceeded to divide the tour participants into smaller groups. Our tour group consisted of 5 prospective students and 9 accompanying family members while third year Civil Engineering student Nicole served as our guide. The general campus tour covered 7 colleges, a library, a sport facility, a dormitory-style residence, an activity centre, a park and more. It is a predominantly outdoor walk—it took us more than 2 hours to cover 3.5 km (we did not even see half of the campus)—so comfy shoes and weather-appropriate clothing are recommended. Although we did set foot inside a few building lobbies, we never lingered, sometimes just passing through. The one time we were indoors somewhat longer was at the residence. Here we climbed the stairs to the second floor and walked single file in and out a 2-bed dormitory room while the current student resident held the door open. Overall, it was an informative and interesting tour. Our guide did a great job and her enthusiasm and school pride was obvious. We learned fun facts which would not have been readily known to us if we walked around U of T on our own. We will likely be back another time to leisurely explore the campus grounds and see more of the beautiful architecture.

This was my first trip to Kingston. I've heard people and friends talk about attending Queens University but I had no idea of the historical heritage of this place. I was surprised to discover that Queens is the oldest University in Canada. It's heritage, history, and beauty is so tangible as you see the beautiful stone buildings that have been well preserved. Well worth the visit if you are passing through this area of Canada.

I happily accepted an invitation from a good friend who was organizing this end-of-summer winery and brewery tour at Niagara College. For our group of 8, it was a fantastic opportunity to learn about viticulture, wine making and the competitive wine business from our enthusiastic and engaging tour guide Larissa. We carried our wine glasses and walked, talked and received her generous splashes of wine samples. After our wine tour we drove down the campus road to the teaching brewery to listen to Filipe give us a comprehensive explanation of the brewing process. We received three good samples of some excellent beers. I purchased a few 650 ml bottles to savour at home. We ended our tours by lunching at the Benchmark, an excellent restaurant on the Niagara College campus. I highly recommend this tour and tasting experience for anyone who is interested in tasting and learning about wine and beer making in Niagara.

My favourite place in the area. The spectacular trails are accessible to those with walkers and wheelchairs which is uncommon in a lot of other places. I love to go see the deer but do wish people would stop feeding them as it's really not a good thing to be feeding them.
