Growing up,
my parents loved to take us to different parts of the province, and looking
back at it, I’ve come up with my top ten vacation spots in Ontario.

I have been
throughout this great province of ours and seen many amazing things. Yet there
are specifically 10 things I remember about the most amazing vacation spots I’ve been to in
my life.
10) Halliburton
Wolf Reserve: This is the greatest wolf sanctuary I have ever been to. It’s
deep in Halliburton, on 10-acre parcel of land. They have it all natural, and
it shows how wolves live and interact. When we went, we say the alpha male. He
was this huge black majestic beast with these soul piercing yellow eyes. I’m
still affected by his presence to this day.
9) Camping: When I was a kid, camping
was a big part of our summer routine. Specifically Algonquin Park. It’s about
250km north of the city, and it was beautiful. Great campsites, and amazing
beaches. I always enjoyed our trips there.
8)Manitoulin
Island: I always like the trip there, because of the Indian reserve. Learning
about the history was always fun and interesting.
7) Kingston
Ontario: When I was younger, we would go to Kingston once a summer for a
bagpipe event. I fell in love with the city and the history. So much to do
there, and the people are really nice.
6) Orillia:
A beautiful destination to visit, especially in the summer. It’s a vibrant city
with a rich colourful history. Great shops, restaurants specifically the
Mariposa Bakery. They offer some of the best desserts I’ve ever had. Reason
enough to make the trip.
5) Barrie: I
enjoy Barrie because it has one of my favourite resorts: Horseshoe Valley. I
have briefly described horseshoe in a prior post. But, it was a big part of my
life many years. So, I grew fond of that place.
4) Toronto:
I picked Toronto more for the sights and attractions than accommodations. There
is so much to do in our great city; from shopping to arts, etc. Pretty much
anything you can think of doing, its there.
3) Burlington: This is a beautiful
city with lots to do. Yet, it’s still small enough that it has a small town
charm. There are historical sights, to modern shopping conveniance, plus, it’s
extremely close to the city. Nice, warm people make Burlington a great city.
2) Port
Credit: Town I was born in. It is the perfect mix of old and new. It has lots
of interesting things to see such as the old Adamson estate, the lighthouse, and
the walkway along lakeshore. Lots of things to do.
1) Mississauga: This one is obvious, why I chose
my city. Sure I have lived here my whole life, so I know what I’m talking
about. There is so much to do here; you can go to super built up, to nature all
around. From small density of people to large density of people. We have
theater, visual arts, and music. It’s a diverse city. I love it here.
