Thought I might share a few things to do on Canada Day.

1) Get up at 9am and take advantage of this $49 deal that’s been offered by HotelTonight!

  • Look for deals in each destination marked “CANADA DAY.”
  • HotelTonight will have great deals all day, but the $49 rooms and limited. If you see one you like, GRAB IT!

2) Go Strawberry Picking….This is one of my favorite activities and the perfect activity for Canada Day.  My go-to- farm is Whittamores. (8100 Steeles Ave E, Markham). Here’s what I have learned over the years: wear sunscreen, hat, bring water, FLAT containers, and wear black clothes!

3) Visit an outdoor hotel pool – this is such a treat! I recently spent the day at the Sheraton Toronto Outdoor Pool (123 Queen St. W) and when I say “spent the day” …I mean it. I was there from 11 am to 8 pm.  Please note there is a fantastic fitness centre so you can bring your gym cloths and squeeze in a workout in between suntanning!

4) Visit one of the many conservation areas we are lucky to live near…Mountsberg, Crawford Lake, Kelso. My fav this time of year is Kelso because of the beach.

5) Just chill and relax! Nothing wrong with that, right?

Happy Canada Day!

I’m not sure how I discovered Crawford Lake but it’s a conservation area in Halton that I have been visiting for a few years now.

Kids of all ages love this place!!

It seems that every fall we visit: Chudleigh’s Apple Farm and Crawford Lake.

It seems that every winter we visit: Kortright Centre

It seems that every spring we visit: Mountsberg for the maple syrup Festival.

It seems that every summer I visit: Kelso Conservation area and several beaches.

OK..back to Crawford Lake!! Lost focus there for a minute.

We always begin by visiting the Indian Village. This year, we scored as there was a presentation of Traditonal Indian Dancers.

Then we took a lovely stroll on the boardwalk that surrounds Crawford Lake.

Great for Strollers!!!

Is this not a stunning lake?

To end the day, we  always seem to wind up at The Gathering Place for arts and crafts.

Again..an awesome fall day visiting an awesome conservation park.

Happy Hiking!!
