Enroute to Toronto this afternoon I witnessed the crowds at each overpass on the Highway of Heroes (a section of Hwy 401 has been designated the Highway of Heroes to commemorate Canada's fallen soldiers who have died fighting in Afghanistan. Crowds gather to witness the procession from Trenton to Toronto). It was hoped that the route, marked with red poppies, would encourage Canadians to reflect on the sacrifices our Armed Forces have made. The route was so named in 2007 - the crowds were amazing and it was very touching! My apologies for the blurry photos - I was driving as I snapped.
I was on my way to my first TMAC meeting (Travel Media Association of Canada) as a new board member. The CN Tower reminded me that many of our guests will be passing through Toronto on their way to the Resort - it's worth a trip up the Tower if you haven't been. The elevators are handy (I climbed the stairs for a WWF fundraiser one year...it's high!)
