@ Quelque Elk! Ande begins her tour of "Maples, Moose & Mounties - Ontario" by downloading a map of specially chosen locations! Quelque Elk!

@ Canada Goose - We Have Lift Off! "It must be so romantic working producing maple syrup, Ande," said Lucifer contentedly sipping grape juice after a hard day’s sightseeing. "Imagine going from tree to tree to collect the sap every summer and seeing it turned into delicious syrup!" "Hmm—now imagine being up at dawn in the cold winter with a great deal of complicated equipment,” said Ande. “The work doesn’t stop.” Lucifer waved his glass. “I’ll have staff to do all that,” he said. “I’ll just do the easy bits.” Canada Goose - We Have Lift Off! The Canada Goose is a large wild goose with a black head and neck, a white "chinstrap" and a brown body.

@ Canadian Butter Tarts “Hey, have you seen what the next stop is, Ande?” said Mitsy. "It looks fantastic!" "I'll get my camera ready," said Ande. Canadian Butter Tarts Roll out 13 oz/375g shortcrust pastry on lightly floured surface. Cut 18-20 rounds with a 3"/7.5cm fluted cutter. Use the rounds to line two deep 12-hole tart tins. Beat two large eggs in a large bowl and combine with 175g/6 oz light muscavado sugar, 100g/3 oz raisins, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 55g/2 oz butter and four tbsp single cream. Tip this mixture into a pan and stir continuously for 3-4 minutes until the butter melts, and the mixture bubbles and starts to thicken. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Don’t overcook, and be sure to stir all the time as the mixture can easily burn. Remove from the heat and stir in 50g/1½ oz walnuts or pecan nuts. Spoon the filling into the unbaked tart shells so it’s level with the pastry. Bake for 15-18 minutes at 190°C/Gas 5/375°F until set and pale golden. Leave in the tin to cool for a few minutes before lifting out onto a wire rack. Serve warm or cold. Enjoy!

@ Atibiti River, Ontario “Wouldn't it be lovely to live in a lighthouse like this one pictured in our itinerary in Nova Scotia? So romantic!" mused Ande, nibbling on a taffy lolly. "Well, I don't know," said Marty Mole. "It's not all about drinking coffee and gazing at the sea. You have to run up and down stairs, operate the light and the foghorn, and there may be no running water or electricity apart from a generator." Ande considered this. "Mine would be a luxurious, converted, non-operational lighthouse, then." Atibiti River, Ontario Just the way to spend a hot summer's day—in a canoe following the meandering curves of this waterway! The Atibiti River is 540 km (340 miles) long. At its far end it joins the Moose River and then enters James Bay.

@ The Maple Leaf Forever “Pass me the binoculars, Ande!” said Evie. "I think that's a Northern Cardinal just taking off over there! They stay in Canada all year round, you know." The Maple Leaf Forever At the time of Confederation in 1867, the maple leaf as a symbol of Canadian patriotism was relatively new. At a public meeting in August 1860, a group of Toronto citizens, planning for the upcoming Royal Visit of the Prince of Wales, decided to identify themselves as native-born Canadians by wearing a maple leaf. “The Englishman glories in his rose, the Irishman in his Shamrock, and the Scotchman in his thistle. Why should not Canadians, their descendants, wreath around their brows a chaplet of the maple leaf?” Maple leaf badges were worn at the reception for the Prince of Wales held in Toronto on 7 September 1860. Although the maple leaf had previously been used as a symbol for Canada, this was the first occasion on which it was worn as a national emblem.

@ Ottawa Art Gallery “Let’s pose with one of us each side of this attraction and I’ll set the self-timer to take a shot,” said Ande to Moo. “It’ll be a fab souvenir of our time here!” Ottawa Art Gallery A glass chandelier in the Gallery. An exhibition in November 2020 was Ottawa-based photographer John Healey's Plastic Beach, a set of still life images of foraged plastic refuse discovered along the shores of the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River. Discarded shopping bags, fragments of milk jugs, and crushed bottle caps are reanimated to show us the lack of care with which we treat the habitat of millions of creatures. Arranged in dramatic light, Healey positioned these plastic items, evidence of human pollution, as messages in a bottle that have washed up on shore to deliver an ominous message: we cannot ignore these warnings any longer.
