Ontario Yours to Discover

What ever happened to the slogan " Ontario Yours to Discover " ?

For various reasons we decided to remain in Ontario for most of the winter.
Do we long for a beach walk or the freedom of venturing outside without the cumbersome layer of outer clothing?  sometimes  ..... Of course when temperatures dip into the minuses there is that northern tendency to just burrow down  and wait for spring.... not necessary ..... There is an abundance of winter adventures waiting to be discovered.

For outdoor fun check out Ontario tourism. Many communities host winter carnival events. Ottawa has skating on the Rideau canal and an ice sculpting contest. Niagara Falls lights up the ice to create a magnificent water show. Ice huts appear on many lakes providing additional winter sport.

                                             Ottawa - night fireworks on the canal.

If you are more an indoor person look for the seasonal events which prepare us for the arrival of spring .... the Toronto Boat and Auto show. Gardening and RV events -- greenhouses offering tours of  early blooms forced ahead by an indoor climate. And of course my favourite trip in early March to the sugar bush to have pancake breakfast and pick up maple syrup.

We built our house so the outside was never far away. As you can see lots of huge windows. Time on the couch is short. The outdoors calls. So much to see and do.

Hat, scarf, mitts, snowpants, sturdy boots, extra warm coat ...... yup ..... I'm ready to explore.
Enjoy your days wherever adventures take you!
