Creemore is located in the Georgian Triangle of southern Ontario and is about 1 1/2 hours north of Toronto. It is located South East of Collingwood, west of Barrie and about 1 1/2 hours north of Toronto. The easiest way to get here from Toronto is by taking the 'airport road' which takes you from the airport in Toronto all the way up to the Creemore area.

This is one page in a series of many pages about Canada. If you are interested in reading more about this beautiful country, you should take a look at my >Canada page
.
In the last travelogue of this page you can find an overview of all the pages I have already written and some ideas of what I will start writing about soon. I have listed them by province, starting in the east in Nova Scotia and working my way to the west to Vancouver Island. Here are some pictures from my other Canada pages.
