We recently went to a wedding at the Gibson Centre, and what a beautiful place to host a wedding! Very rustic and beautiful and the staff and bartenders were very accommodating.

Banting Homestead Heritage Park is an educational facility, historical landmark, and historical house linked to Sir Frederick Banting, Nobel laureate and co-discoverer of insulin. Guests are invited to explore the historic farmhouse (built in 1925 by Thomas Banting and birthplace of Sir Frederick Banting) and drive shed; to see artifacts and Banting's artwork; to learn about diabetes and the discovery of insulin; and to enjoy the park (107 acres) and its exercise equipment. Displays are professionally assembled into "storylines" designed to inform and inspire. Notable exhibits include "What is diabetes?", "The Insulin Discovery Story", "Early Diabetes Patients", "Insulin Mass Production to the Early 80s", "Insulin Discovery Team, the Nobel Prize, and Other Canadian Winners", "Banting the War Hero", "Banting the Artist", "Banting Homestead Evolution", and "Banting Family History". Thank you, Kait, for the wonderfully informative and entertaining tour! Look for the fully accessible Banting Homestead Heritage Park at 5116 Sir Frederick Banting Road in the Ontario community of Alliston. Admission is free (donations are welcome). The complex is currently open to guests on a scheduled basis (call or e-mail the Sir Fredrick Banting Legacy Foundation) seven days a week from 10:00 in the morning until 3:30 in the afternoon (the park and its exercise equipment are available daily from dusk to dawn). Parking at the site is free.

This theater has been renovated and modernized. I went there as a kid and could barely hear the movie or last 2 hours in the old chairs. All has changed. You can even get a beer there now. Great place at a reasonable price.

My partner and I decided to take a drive to see the fall colours. I have been aware of the Forks of the Credit for years, but only now made it up there in person. While the colours were just past peak, they had all the impact, contrast, and visual appeal as Muskoka or even Algonquin within an hour drive of Toronto. I can see why it gets busy on the weekends. Lucky for us, we went on a Friday. You can take a nice drive through, or you can park (pay the machine & display) and hike.

This provincial park has a very large beach area surrounding the lake. It also has very large campsites, perfect for RVs, trailers, and motor homes. There is good drainage here so its also good for tent camping. We were very impressed with the trails, and recommend them. There is a fish ladder around the dam worth visiting too.

We came to see the Lion King. It was our first time at this theatre. It was the first time I had used automated tickets and everything went very smoothly. Nothing at the snack bar looked very appetising but we enjoyed our time here. Everything was very clean and the theatres are great. The sound is state-of-the-art, and the reclining chairs are extremely comfortable. We will definitely be back.
