Oshawa, Ontario view of Lake Ontario from the park terrace.
This was the home of R.S. McLaughlin, the Canadian Auto Baron and founder of General Motors Canada.
The Maple Syrup Festival in Oshawa, ON is mainly a local event. However, the festival is great with fresh pancakes and syrup, activities for kids and adults, and informative and interactive historical displays and activities. The festival typically occurs during March, and in Ontario, there's still snow then!

Room was in good condition. A bit surprised that there was no glass of paper cup in the room to get a drink of water or brush my teeth. Also try eating cereal out of a small bowl with a wooden teaspoon. A couple of hot breakfast choices would be nice as well. Staff were courteous.
