The bus tours arranged for the Convention are into Durham Region. Members of district 17 wanted delegates to see some of the beauty of Durham Region and opted to run the tours outside Toronto. This means leaving the hotel at noon, to provide enough time for visitors to enjoy the tours. To allow for this, the hotel is providing box lunches. We hope you enjoy the picnic atmosphere.
Buses are coaches, very comforable and the drivers are knowledgeable and friendly.
A visit to Cullen Gardens Festival of Flowers is a treat for the senses. The rose garden with 10,000 blooms on display is only a part of this beautifully landscaped area covering 35 acres just north of Whitby. There is a Wildflower Garden and Bird Sanctuary, recently opened. Most are miniatures of actual buildings in the Whitby and other surrounding areas. See the car ferry move vehicles across the lake, a cottage area, watch the local Fire Brigade extinguish a house fire, admire a wedding and many other fascinating scenes.
