Since we were going to Point Pelee National Park, we decided to visit this shrine last Saturday along with a couple of friends. The GPS took us the St. Anthony’s church which is 5mins away from this Shrine. You will have to drive on Talbot Rd E and take the right to 77, from there keep driving straight until you see the ‘Lebanese Club’ on your left. Take that left and keep driving till you reach the parking spot. You can see the Shrine from the parking itself. The Shrine is around 20-25mins from Point Pelee National Park. The statue is made of white carrara marble, is 145 feet high and weighing 12 tons. It sits on a conical base of concrete 42 feet in height and totalling just under 60 feet with a spiralling staircase to allow accessibility. Apparently, this is a replica of Our Lady of Lebanon Shrine in Harissa, Lebanon. The Mother Mary’s statue at the top of the tower is simply majestic and beautiful. You can climb the winding staircase to get to the top and the view from there is amazing. At the bottom, there is a door that leads to a small chapel where you can pray in complete silence. As you exit the chapel, on the right side there is holy water which you can take for a meagre donation. The shrine is surrounded with 14 stations of the cross that have been carved on huge boulders of rocks. In between there is a lotus pond and looks wonderful. I have never seen a lotus pond in Canada and this as a surprise to us all. A definite must visit. We loved the place and will definitely visit again if we get the chance to.

Gananoque Clock Tower is truly majestic. One can easily spot the same, when driving around in Gananoque. Worth visiting.

Brock's Monument National Historic Site towers over picturesque Queenston Heights, Ontario. The monument measures 56 metres (185 feet) in height and is the largest monument of its kind in Canada. Situated on the site of the Battle of Queenston Heights where British and American soldiers struggled for the destiny of two nations, Brock's Monument is the final resting place of Major General Sir Isaac Brock and his Aide-de-Camp Lieutenant Colonel John Macdonell.

Larger than life, this Monument to General Brock is set in the middle of beautiful Queenstown Heights Park. Staff dressed in period costumes greet you at the entrance. You can climb to the top if you dare! We'll worth a visit.

We had a wonderful time in Huntsville looking at the stores and purchasing items at the various stores and did a walk about looking at the sculpture and outdoor wall murals and reading the signage about the paintings. We didn't see all of them, but did enjoy what we did see. The day was sunny and relatively warm. A glorious day - we would like to visit it again when it's a little warmer...maybe in July.

A beautiful group sculpture, well situated near Parliament, celebrating the significant contribution of five women to the history of Canada. A timely reminder of the part women have played in the creation of modern day Canada. Information boards provide short biographies of the five plus a number of other influential Canadian women. Don’t pass this by without giving it due attention!
