Ontario Trails - Cool Off in the Shade
Kingston By Bike
For quite a few years I have conducted information-filled bicycle tours, taking visitors from all over the world cycling around Kingston during our tourist season. It is a real pleasure to be able to ride around the city on a beautiful summer day, explaining at intervals why Kingston is such a special place, one so full of history and beauty.My Downtown bike tour of Kingston starts at City Hall and over the course of a roughly 3 hour tour you will see many things of natural and cultural interest, including the Royal Military College and Queen’s campuses, parks and the lakeshore trail, harbours and prisons, British Empire landmarks, and historic buildings including Bellevue house. No one has ever had a problem with the 14-kilometre distance, as the route is pretty flat and the pace is leisurely, and I can promise you an enjoyable and memorable experience. The cost for this tour is $30 Canadian per person for groups of 2-3 people, $25 Canadian per person for groups of 4-8 people.

Two New Peace Garden Trails Open in Southwestern Ontario
 |
| More information |
“This project is meant to be a lasting legacy to the 200 years of peace between Canada and the United States. It was started as an 1812 Bicentennial project.
When we began in 2008, we had no idea how quickly it would be embraced by so many communities across the Southern Great Lakes and beyond the Northern Border. We are extremely appreciative of every one of our Peace Garden partners, and to the Ontario Trillium Foundation, whose funding support was critical to bringing this concept to fruition” advises Arlene White, Executive Director of the Binational Alliance, and Project Lead for this initiative. “We expect more than 60 bicentennial themed gardens will be launched by 2014, and will continue to work with binational communities to create new peace gardens with a variety of binational peace themes beyond 2015.”
