ONTARIO DID YOU KNOW?

NOT TO BE MISSED

MULTICULTURAL DISCOVERIES Celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday by getting to know the diverse cultures that make our country so unique. London’s TD Sunfest, Markham’s Jambana One World Festival, and Belleville’s Waterfront and Ethnic Festival all have an international focus, while the Fergus Scottish Festival & Highland Games and the Toronto Caribbean Festival, among others, shine the spotlight on one heritage in particular. FOOD AND DRINK Hungry? Sink your teeth into some barbecued goodness at Canada’s Largest Ribfest in Burlington. For a healthier alternative, try Carrot Fest in Bradford or the LaSalle Strawberry Festival. Thirsty? Wine lovers can sample the latest from Ontario’s wine country during Pelham Summerfest, while beer enthusiasts can head to Peterborough’s Kawartha Craft Beer Festival for a fresh pint of local ale.

Ottawa and Toronto are amazing places to visit, but there’s a lot more to experience in Canada’s most populous province than the CN Tower and Parliament Hill. For one, Ontario’s vast and varied festival scene is truly in a league of its own! What are you looking to celebrate? MUSIC Put on your dancing shoes! Top musical events across the province include Burlington’s Sound of Music Festival, the TD Ottawa Jazz Festival, Jazz Sudbury, and the one-of-a-kind Collingwood Elvis Festival. FILM TIFF — the Toronto International Film Festival — may be the biggest event of its kind in the province, but there are loads of other fantastic movie-centric celebrations to check out in Ontario. Canadian creations take centre stage during the Kingston Canadian Film Festival, while the Windsor International Film Festival features flicks from both sides of the border and beyond. Ottawa hosts the world’s largest Animation Film Festival, and Cinéfest Sudbury International Film Festival has a soft spot for French-language movies. THEATRE Stratford is the Ontarian mecca for fans of the stage. The Stratford Festival hosts a massive lineup of musicals, children’s plays, pantomimes and classic pieces over the span of seven months. If you’re in the area between April and October, attending at least one performance is an absolute must.

• Spanning more than a million kilometres, Ontario — Canada’s second-largest province — is larger than the countries of France and Spain combined. • In addition to pop-stars (think Bieber and Drake), rock bands (like Rush and The Tragically Hip) and hockey greats (hello Wayne Gretzky), Ontario has given the world an impressive crop of comedy icons, including Dan Aykroyd, John Candy, Jim Carrey and Mike Meyers. • The name Ontario is thought to derive from either the Huron word for “great lake” or the Iroquoian word for “beautiful

water.” Both are incredibly appropriate seeing as the province contains more than 250,000 freshwater lakes. • The Bruce Nuclear Generating Station, located on the eastern shore of Lake Huron, is the world’s largest nuclear power plant. • When Ottawa’s section of the Rideau Canal freezes over, it becomes the world’s longest outdoor skating rink. • If you don’t want the Hilton selling your horse, you’d better pay for your room. Ontario law still has a clause allowing innkeepers to auction off the horse of anyone who attempts to snooze and split.
