We stumbled upon Chocolates, Etc on our way to Niagara--what an unexpected treasure of delectable treats! Between the four of us, we sampled them all. From gourmet Belgian chocolates and European pastries to specialty coffees and delicious Italian gelato--we thought we had died and gone to heaven! Not only were our tastebuds treated, but so were all our other senses, as the store, itself, makes you feel like you've stepped into old Europe. A family run business, we were made to feel right at home and appreciated the love and attention that went into everything that surrounded us. We then went out and enjoyed our desserts on a lovely patio--& because it was Saturday night, there was live music being performed! Needless to say, we got some goodies for the road. Thank you, Chocolates, Etc, for treating us not only to some of the most mouth-watering treats we've ever had--but for treating us like family! We would recommend you to anyone and will definitely be back! Grace Hardy

We went to see a new Norm Foster play called Renovations for Six at FirstOntario PAC. Norm Foster is always good, but, this time he outdid himself with a very funny play that most of us can identify with. The acting was magnificent.......everyone was perfect in their parts. The theatre itself is modern and easy to navigate, with a very friendly volunteer staff, who go out of their way to make this event so pleasurable. Thank you FirstOntario, Norm Foster, the great actors on stage and everyone connected to this play, for making this a wonderful outing for the 4 of us, we all agreed it far surpassed our very high expectations! *One warning....parking is a bit tricky. Parking at Meridian and across St Pauls.
