Family Friendly Mother's Day Brunches North of Toronto 2013

SHE DESERVES THE WORLD...AND BRUNCH.

Right now in my house, I think I hear the word "MOM" at least a thousand times a day, if not more. I am afarid to count and determine the actual number. Because of this, and more, this Mother's Day is all about taking a break from chores and duties and having some relaxed family fun.

Many of our resort and accommodation members are offering some sweet deals and expansive spreads of edible delights in honour of MOM. All mothers out there deserve the indulgence and down-right spoiling due to them on this day! Not only is it a treat not to cook, but may of the brunches are a chance to try dishes prepared by popular and distinguished chefs.

With a little cooperation from Mother Nature, after a delicious brunch in cottage country, your family can hike, bike, stroll or waddle depending on how much you ate, and enjoy spring sunshine!

If you're looking for more than just a brunch, you can certainly find some great MOTHERS' DAY WEEKEND GETAWAYS and enjoy a whole weekend off!

Maple Syrup and Fishing - but not together! Kids and Family fun activities and events happening in areas North of Toronto April 19-21

All right! Finally it seems safe to say spring is here...we think. Although with a second glance at the forecast we may notexactly be out of the woods yet. Fear not though, events and activities continue for families and kids in areas from the Bruce Peninsula to the Ottawa Valley. We always recommend a visit to any Ontario attraction or to get moving and have some fun at places that offer great family activities at good prices. If free is your thing, there are many options there too.

Saturday is the annual Elmvale Maple Syrup Festival. Try the syrup, buy the syrup or taste many other maple recipes and treats. Sweet and Savoury food stands, vendors and artisans fill the town's main area for strolling around. You can also dance at the main stage or get some thrills at the midway at the recreation centre. All the classic rides are there. Inside the recreation centre are vendors and other cool stuff to check out. As a tip - this is a busy festival. Pack wisely and light if possible, you may not want to use a stroller in the large crowds. Slings or backpacks if you got'em and have small (and light!) enough children to fit in them.

Friday is the first day of the Orillia Perch Festival, with the Opening Ceremonies at 7. The festival continues through until May 11, the day before Mother's Day. Coincidental? Maybe not...

Earth Day, April 22

See their website for details on how to participate. And if you're fishing with kids, see our family fishing tips on how to do so with as much fun as possible.

We continue to update the Spring Family Getaways and there are some fun family activities included!

Monday April 22 marks Earth Day where more than 6 million Canadians join 1 billion people in over 170 countries in staging events and projects to address local environmental issues. There are some organized events to participate in, or simply do your own activities around your house with the kids based on our easy-to-do suggestions.

Spring family and kids activities in areas north of Toronto at Ontario attractions and other cool places!

Festival fun continues through April

1. Maple festivals really make you feel like you are part of Canada’s richly delicious heritage.  Did you know that Natives used syrup to flavour food and make tonics long before Europeans came to North America?  We have a lot to be proud of.  Even though it is slowly getting warmer, you have not missed out on festivals for this year!  Maple Festivals in Ontario are ongoing throughout April.  Tree tapping ceremonies, maple taffy, maple taffy…something for every family member.  If you don’t already believe it is the perfect family outing, festivals usually offer horse drawn wagon rides for tired legs to boot!

2. Shake your winter hibernation and getaway!  Get into the spirit and enjoy the beautiful spring weather (cough - when it gets here)!  Take advantage of the Victoria Day longweekend. Many resorts and hotels are offering great spring getaways specials for every weekend, not just the long weekend in May! Choose an event and stay in the area for a day or two, or more!

Enjoy outside again!

3. Family passes, rentals, and trails for every skill level make mountain biking a very accessible option!  Sir Sam’s in Haliburton and Hardwood Ski and Bike near Barrie are popular choices with knowledgeable staff to set you on you tour.  Imagine the looks on your city-dwelling neighbours faces after you’ve honed your biking skills all weekend long—watch out!

4. It is not too hot or busy yet, and with the great weather why not take advantage of hiking, beaches, and even geocaching.  Whether it is the Bruce Trail, Tay Trail, the trans-Canada or park paths, you have many hiking options north of Toronto.  Even if you didn't make it south this winter, some of Ontario's beaches are truly hidden jems!  In case you’re not familiar, Geocaching is a growing trend in which players use GPS devices to find hidden treasures-- now that is a new way to get out and enjoy life!

5. If you are anything like me, delicious, fresh baked goods and produce really top off an active, fun-filled outing!  The month of May marks the start of farmer'smarket season.  Not only will you be supporting local farms, but the benefits for you and your family are countless.  Many farmer's markets also have live music and artisan tables.

Spoil her silly!

6. Spring also means celebrating Mom! The anchor of the family, the lady who deserves everything and more! Mother's Day is on Sunday, May 12, 2013. Many resort accommodations offer a weekend that will give mom a break and some pampering - if a weekend getaway is not in the cards, consider a brunch or another mother's day event perfect for any day trip.

7. On April 22, Canadians will be joining 141 other nations who annually mark Earth Day.  The day is intended to inspire awareness and appreciation of the Earth's natural environment.  What better way to celebrate this day than heading north to a new or favourite outdoor getaway!  For Earth Day events please refer to our calendar.

8. Adventure and wild excitement can be experienced at Ontario family friendly attractions. A sure sign of spring is when the seasonal attractions start to open again. If your little ones have energy to burn there are many adventure activities for them to choose from like zip lining over the tree tops, gemstone mining, mini golfing, taking a flight on a Georgian Bay Airways plane or finding a quiet meadow and enjoying a horseback ride. The list of options is long!

Wildlife is our friend.

9. Be sure to experience some of Ontario’s wildlife treasures that will make you and your little adventurers feel like you’re in the outback!  Pack your hikers and even your opera glasses if you wish.  Wye Marsh encompasses 3000 acres for bikers, hikers, and even kayakers.  Explore on your own or with a guide or catch their weekend Birds of Prey or Wet n' Scaly show. Your family can also head out on the beautiful trails or suspension bridge at Scenic Caves Nature Adventures in Collingwood where you will definitely see some wildlife, birds and a breathtaking view of Georgian Bay. Fishing is also always a great activity to do with kids. See our website for fishing tips with kids!

10. Summer holidays are right around the corner.  Research and reserve your children’s spots in the best camps Ontario has to offer.  Canadian Physical Activity guidelines state that children and youth need at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorously intense activity per day.  In addition to activity, camps build confidence, social skills, and educate!  Whether it is a day camp or overnight, horseback riding or arts and crafts, there are so many to choose from.

Ontario Family Travel Events North of Toronto for April 12-14 - Perfect for fun day trips with kids!

Yes! Still OPEN FOR SKI!

While the weather might be playing a hard ball game when comes it to spring - there are many signs out there that spring has indeed arrived. For one, the robins and Canada geese are back. They wouldn't come back for more winter, would they? Or maybe they wanted to see if it was true that Blue Moutain Resort was still offering day skiing with a good number of open runs and terrain parks!

OPEN weekdays for the season

Another sure sign of spring is the opening of one of the most popular Ontario historic resorts - Sainte Marie among the Hurons. The reconstructed 17th century European (French) and Native (Huron) community located in Midland is now open weekdays until May 17. May 18, it will be open 7 days a week until October 14. This is a must family attraction to visit or perfect school trip for any teacher looking for educational and historical fun! Activities include a short film, tours and activities on the historic site, a visit inside an authentic Huron longhouse, games and an indoor museum that contains some interactive displays. This is where Ontario started and is essential for any little Ontarian to see!

It's not too late to book a family weekend getaway either - we've been working furiously to update our FAMILY SPRING GETAWAYS - and there are some really great packages with all-or-nothing bells and whistles when it comes to activities or r&r time with the fam.

Fun activities, r&r for the whole fam!
