1000 Islands / Brockville Region
Does Ontario come to mind for your next island getaway? It should. The Thousand Islands region stretches east along the St. Lawrence River and includes a staggering 1,864 islands between Canada and the United States.
Niagara Region
People like to think that they know Niagara, but there’s so much more to the region than its famous falls. The remains of British fortresses tell the tale of a war in 1812, artists immortalized the river rapids and worn rock faces beyond the falls, and wine cultivation thrives among the far-stretching fields.
Ottawa – Gatineau
Whether you’re exploring Ottawa's many heritage sites, browsing its galleries, or taking scenic strolls along the river, you can do it all with a good pair of shoes or a trusty bicycle.
Sault Ste. Marie
Sault Ste. Marie, a city forever linked to its river. The Ojibwe people named the river and its environs “Bawating,” or the “place of the rapids,” and as you’ll soon see why.
Toronto Public Art
Toronto is a famously diverse cultural hub for all of Canada. Perhaps less known is just how extensive and exciting the city’s public artwork is. But with a new initiative, all that is changing.
Waterloo
Tech may be what comes to mind when you think of Waterloo. While home to start-ups and the Canadian offices of tech multinationals, ‘Canada’s Silicon Valley’ wouldn’t be where it is now without the history of the Neutral and Six Nations people who were first there, and the Mennonite immigrants who followed. The region pays homage to its roots while staying thoroughly modern with new companies and tech spaces growing in its historic buildings.
