Ottawa is Canada's capital city, with a distinctive cultural center blending old and new architecture; much of which can be seen boating its Rideau Canal Waterway. Parliament Hill, visible throughout the downtown area, is one of Canada's most recognized landmarks and the seat of Canada's federal government; it too is the site of the "must see" Changing of the Guard. The National Gallery of Canada houses the world's largest collection of Canadian art, including a section devoted to contemporary Inuit art. The Canadian Museum of Civilization is the country's largest and most popular cultural institute; located on the shores of the Ottawa River, it presents over 10,000 years of Canadian pre-history, history, and culture. The National Museum of Science and Technology chronicles the technological development of Canada, including the Gregorian reflecting telescope and important logging machinery. Here too we witness the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Musical Ride, an evening of traditional entertainment with a troop of 32 horses and riders performing cavalry drills choreographed to music. Our intro to Toronto brings us to popular attractions such as Ontario Place, Harbourfront, Power Plant, Craft Studio, and CN Tower. We also explore the Toronto Zoo, the world's third largest zoo, which displays over 5,000 animals in a zoological park complete with ponds, waterfalls, and floral displays.

Honeymooners from around the world visit Niagara Falls. The American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side offer beautiful and romantic scenery for any tourist. Boat rides began in 1846, and even today a visit to Niagara Falls isn't complete without a ride on the Maid of the Mist to the shoe in the Horseshoe Falls. That isn't the only attraction at Niagara Falls, however. There are wineries, shops, restaurants, and 56 acres of parkland to entice every visitor. Venture further into Canada and tour the Deerhurst Resort; this natural masterpiece is located on 800 acres along Peninsula Lake, just outside Huntsville, Ontario and only two hours from Toronto. It borders Algonquin Natural Park and offers a unique blend of natural beauty with luxury and seclusion. There are activities for every age and every season, from hay rides to cross-country skiing, water sports, tennis, and golf.

This quaint town, nestled in the lush wine country within the province of Ontario, makes time stand still. The ten-day wine festival is the cultural event of the year, and ice wine is the centerpiece of the festival. This sweet dessert wine is made from frozen grapes and some call it "the golden nectar of the gods." Another annual event is the George Bernard Shaw Festival held each fall to honor the famed Irish playwright and author. The town comes alive as Shaw's plays are presented in an atmosphere of long-ago gentility and grace, where afternoon tea is an everyday event. The countryside around the town offers magnificent views of the Niagara River, and a bike tour along the Niagara River Trail is a must. Another side trip can be a winery's cooking school, where cooking tips and proper wines to accompany food are offered. Back in Niagara-on-the-Lake, a horse-drawn carriage takes us on a stroll through the historic district. To end our visit in this wonderful town, we pamper ourselves at a local spa, where a soothing massage and facial will revitalize any weary traveler.

Canadians are rightfully proud of their national capital city, Ottawa, and in this program we discover why. We learn right away what it is to be Canadian in this naturally beautiful city, which lies on the banks of the Ottawa River, a major waterway that forms the boundary between Ontario and Quebec; the Ottawa too contains the mouths of the Rideau River and Rideau Canal; the latter has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The country's fourth largest city, Ottawa has much more to offer its citizens and visitors alike. Love history? Then you'll love visiting the historic Parliament buildings on Parliament Hill; these are among Canada's most recognizable heritage sites; next we indulge in culture and view Canadian artwork at the National Gallery of Canada; then we explore the ByWard Market, the cradle of the city's French population, which once was known as Lowertown, but today is a bustling site with an exciting array of restaurants and boutiques. By tour's end viewers totally understand Capital Pride.

We begin our visit to Ottawa, Canada's capital city, at the Centennial Flame, built in 1967 to commemorate its 100th birthday, and we learn of the many festivals held here each year. Located in the province of Ontario, this city's pride is Parliament Hill, a historic cluster of buildings still used for legislative sessions. Built between 1857 and 1876, some have called it the purest example of Gothic Revival architecture in the western hemisphere. Parts were gutted by fire early in the 20th century, but the original section still houses the Library of Parliament. Royal Canadian Mounted Police patrol the area, and a highlight for tourists is the changing of the guard. Rideau Canal, a National Heritage Site, is one way to access all the historic areas of the city. Built for the city's defense during WWII, it is now used for pleasure boats. In the winter it becomes the world's largest skating rink and the perfect way to get to work each day! If you prefer walking instead of a boat ride, Sparks Street is the place to visit. This pedestrian mall and outdoor market is a stroller's delight. The National Gallery of Canada is another attraction not to be missed. Established in 1880 for the country's art collection and moved to a new building in 1998, the glass tower of the new architecture rises above the skyline to create an artistic statement of its own. Another landmark is the Chateau Laurier, built in 1912 as a railroad hotel and for members of Parliament. Its elegant Art Deco decorations still fascinate the many celebrities who stay there. Our last stop is less than twenty minutes east of Ottawa, a green space just outside the city. The Mer Bleue Conservation Area is a preserved ecosystem that delights visitors. A boardwalk spans this wetlands, best known for its sphagnum bog, and in winter there are cross-country ski trails to travel.

Niagara Falls is something one has to experience to truly believe its wonder. This program not only captures the beauty, power and mystery of the Falls, but also explores many attractions in this beautiful region. One of the most popular destinations in the world, Niagara Falls has two major sections separated by Goat Island: Horseshoe Falls, on the Canadian side, and the American Falls on the U.S. side; also on the American side are the smaller Bridal Veil Falls. Incredibly, over 2.5 billion gallons of water flows every hour over the falls heading north to Lake Ontario; it is the third greatest waterfalls in the world in terms of volume of water. We learn the Maid of the Mist boat cruise is the oldest attraction at the Falls; it has carried passengers beneath the Falls since 1846; also we discover a 63-year-old teacher, Annie Edson Taylor, was the first person to successfully plunge over the Falls in a barrel. Other than plane or helicopter, the Skylon Tower offers the highest overhead view of the Falls. Just a 10-minute drive north of the Falls is the Niagara Parks' Botanical Gardens, a horticultural center with nearly 100 acres and over 2300 plant types; it too is home to the world's largest Butterfly Conservatory. Next stop is Marineland, Ontario's largest theme park attraction, which offers live aquarium shows with killer whales, beluga whales, and seals. Last stop is wine country and the Vineland Estates Winery, called the area's "most picturesque winery."

Skiing enthusiasts will love the visits to three of Eastern Canada's most popular and most accessible ski resorts: the Domain of Killien Resort in Ontario; then Gray Rocks and Mont St. Anne resorts in Quebec. The Domain of Killien is located in the Haliburton Highlands and is a sophisticated hotel with superb food. Visitors can choose between cabins around a lake or the main lodge, and winter activities include cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and ice-skating, while water sports and hiking may be enjoyed in the summer. Next we reminisce in visiting Gray Rock Resort, once a popular resort outside of Montreal that offered amenities such as a pool, saunas, and exercise equipment, as well as weekly ski classes and mini-tournaments. The final destination is one of the most popular ski resorts outside of Quebec City, Mont Sainte Anne. This luxury resort has the highest elevation in Canada and offers year-round activities. Golf, mountain biking, and paragliding are just a few of the activities enjoyed in the summer, while cross-country skiing, dog sledding, and night skiing are highlights of the winter fun.

Toronto, the financial and transportation hub of the country, is also the largest and most culturally diverse city in Canada and has everything a vibrant, cosmopolitan city can offer. There is the harbor area for boating and sightseeing, and Ontario Place is a family-oriented park. You can browse the fresh produce and flowers at the St. Lawrence Market or visit historic Fort York, a battleground between Americans and British colonial troops, which is now an open-air museum. Canada's longest running fair is held in Toronto at the Canadian National Exhibition. Sports are key to Toronto, which is the location for the world famous Sky Dome, home to the Toronto Blue Jays. We also visit the Hockey Hall of Fame, a museum that traces the history of the game, houses the largest collection of hockey artifacts, and honors its players. After a day of viewing all the attractions, you're sure to enjoy the city's nightlife as well, and a visit to the Princess of Wales' Theater is a must.

For those interested in getting away from the frenetic pace of urban life, a trip to Ontario's Algonquin Park or Mennonite Country is the perfect remedy. The first stop is a large wilderness area called Algonquin Park, which was established in 1893 to protect the head waters of several Canadian rivers. Heavily forested and boasting over 930 miles of rivers and streams, the park is teeming with wildlife and offers visitors a host of wilderness activities, including canoeing, hiking, fishing, and camping. Accommodations range from the chalet style log cabins of Killarney Lodge, to the more than 100 organized camping sites throughout the park. The park also supports several businesses, including the local Portage Store and Avery & Sons paddle and snowshoe makers. Next, viewers are taken on a trip "back in time" to the Mennonite villages of Elmira, St. Jacobs, and Elora. Viewers watch artisans at work and selling their wares at the Farmer's Market, the Forge & Anvil Blacksmith, and the Hamel Broom shop. A visit with Mennonite quilters in Elmira shows how the tourist industry has had a subtle impact on traditional crafts. These two areas of Ontario clearly promote the preservation of an earlier, simpler way of life, and a strong sense of community and harmony with the environment.
