Ontario Travel to Fresh Veg North of Toronto

While listening to today's Fresh Air interviews of chefs and farmers on CBC and their excitement surrounding the fresh asparagus, reminded me to head over to Barrie's farmers market. I had may first taste of fresh asparagus last week after visiting Barrie Hill farm just north of Barrie. I actually enjoyed two raw spring spears on the way home.......... crisp and delicious. See Ontario Farmers' Markets for a location near you. Today's Globe and Mail features Cottage Country markets, farms and road side stands.

Travel Benefits For Canadian Travelers

The CBC is reporting today on a study of travel benefits for consumers

"Among those who took a trip for pleasure, almost two-thirds (63 per cent) said their main reason for taking the trip was a desire for rest and relaxation. The next most popular benefit cited was a desire to keep family ties strong. A full 48 per cent of all travellers responded that renewing personal connections and building lasting memories with spouses and children was a highly important benefit of vacations."

Needless to say the top 2 benifits can be found here in Canada, and specifically in Ontario. Check out the Family Getaway section of the Ontario Travel North website.

Ontario Travel: Where does Southern Ontario End?

How far north is the real north, or ture north or Canada north?? Where does Northern Ontario start? This ongoing question has been an enigma for years. Unfortunately northern Ontario boundaries tend to change and shift depending on governments looking for votes in so called boundary ridings. In reality, Northern Ontario is more about perception in the eyes of potential tourists, visitors, or southern Ontario residents. See Northern Ontario . Participate in our blog discussion and tell us where Northern Ontario starts. Photo: Green Wilderness Lodge, Gogama Ontario
