TORONTO STAR 2017 FAMILY FUN GUIDE 3

You already know the many benefits of spending quality time together as a family. Planning and going on a family outing creates precious bonding time; it’s a chance to focus on a healthy activity and it can be a fun way to get some fresh air and exercise, together.

This Family Fun Guide is designed to help you choose from the many great events, activities and attractions in Ontario. It’s loaded with information on festivals, day-trips, attractions, and adventures. And, during this special sesquicentennial year, there are many events that celebrate the 150th Anniversary of Canada’s Confederation.

While you’re browsing the guide’s helpful listings, the kids will enjoy its Fun Facts! and Did You Know? features about Canada. There are also puzzles and word searches for the kids to enjoy—maybe even on a car ride to one of Ontario’s great attractions.

Experience Canada’s wilderness and sleep under the stars in one of our province’s pristine parks. Tour its spar-kling waterways. Travel back in time at a museum. Learn more about our early aboriginal peoples. Visit an art gallery. Drop by one of this summer’s many book, music or art festivals. Whatever your interests, Ontario has an incredible summer experience for you and your family within driving distance.

Take a few days—or even just a few hours—out of your normal routine and reconnect with the people you love. Not only will you have fun together and maybe even learn

something, but you’ll be creating memories that will last a lifetime, for you and your entire family.

There is so much for families to see and experience in Ontario this summer!

Canadians are crazy for mac and cheese! We eat roughly 55% more of it each year than our American neighbours, and purchase 1.7 million boxes out of the 7 million sold around the world each week. Canadian-born founder of Kraft Foods, James Kraft, was the first to patent a process of powdering cheese to give it a longer shelf life, and released the first box of Kraft Dinner in 1937.

Born in 1961, Wayne Gretzky is a Canadian-born (Brantford, Ontario) professional hockey player and head coach. He is called “The Great One” because he is considered to be the greatest hockey player in the National Hockey League; he is still the league’s lead scorer, and currently holds approximately 60 NHL records for ice hockey during his career, which began in 1979.Hakandahlstrom via Wikimedia Commons

Tim Horton was not only the founder of the great Canadian coffee-house chain (Tim Horton’s),

he also played in the National Hockey League, beginning in 1950. He still holds the record for most consecutive regular-season games played, and had an interesting trick for players trying to fight him on the ice-holding them in a big bear hug. By Arnie Lee via Wikimedia Commons
