a5floor Says: When you are walking on King Street, you can walk towards the water. Up there you will find the harbour of Midland. It is really great to sit there and watch things happening on the water: the boats, jetskis, etc.
a5floor Says: In Midland you will find the library in a nice building. It looks really great from the ouside. From the inside it looks really modern (today's standard). On the back of the library they have attached a brand new building.
orlandom Says: This is the main tourist entrance where you get all the info and buy the tickets to get in. In the next pictures I will show you all the major buildings inside just like a virtual tour hope you enjoy. Here comes # 1
orlandom Says: Sainte-Marie among the Hurons is an internationally significant historic site and a must-see national treasure. Sainte-Marie was the 17th century fortress and headquarters for the French Jesuit mission to the Huron nation and was Ontario's first European community. In 1639...
cfuentesm Says: The town's main attraction. You'll find these wall paintings all over town. They depict the province's history. Get a mural map at the visitor's center and follow it. It describes each mural and its meaning.

Alright, good ol' bleachers!!, do not go to this bar on a Friday night, me and my boys made the mistake of taking a 20 dollar cab ride on a Friday night only to find out when we get there that it's all ages night. Don't get me wrong, the attention was great but i didn't feel like being brought to jail that night for being a pedofile, i'd much rather go to the drunk tank for drinking too much. Also, unless you're with a few friends that are bigger than you, then it's probly a good idea not to start any kind of trouble in this bar. If you're feeling a little ballsy then be prepared to take on the entire town of Midland.
Dress Code: haha!! dress code in Midland yeah right... a wife beater, bandana and ripped jeans would suffice...

Native Culture, Music, at Sainte Marie
airkarat Says: I can't describe how beautiful and magical these nights truly are! My favourite time is spent in the longhouse - the smoky traditional Huron (Wendat) community building where, surrounded by tobacco, herbs, and animal pelts, visitors are mesmerized by drum songs and legends....
airkarat Says: Every year, in the beginning of December, I attend First Light at Sainte Marie Among the Hurons just outside Midland, Ontario. Although our modern Canadian Christmas holiday celebrations are not even always celebrated from a religious perspective, it is interesting to learn...

SHOCKZ Says: Make sure that the girl you are trying to pick up at the bar is single. Due to the fact that the town of Midland is so small, everyone is a familiar face. Therefore if you're at a local Cougar bar such as Sha-na-na then it is almost positive that you'll get picked up being a...
Inside Sainte-Marie among the Hurons
sim1 Says: Even the photos can't find much possitive about Sainte-Marie among the Hurons.... it looks very boring in the photos I took. hahaha, sorry for my pessimism, but it is hard to get enthousiastic about a place I didn't enjoy so much.
%aThe best guide at the museum!
sim1 Says: Wel I shouldn't be too harsh, this young lady was actually very good. She started talking and explaining things out of her own. We tasted some kind of cookie here, and it tasted not bad at all. All the food in those days were made out of corn.

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.

cfuentesm Says: Georgian Bay is a great day trip from Toronto. You can drive yourselve, take a bus or a tour. You'll be amazed by the beauty of this bay, its charming houses and islands. A very worthy day trip to scape from the crowded cities.
