St Andrew's church

by csordila

St Andrew's is a beautiful church in downtown Toronto. It was constructed in the 19th century out of sandstone. This was done in a very Romanesque Revival style.What strikes me the most is the big difference between the new and the old. And yet they live together in perfect harmony.

Experience hunting in Ontario

by kris-t

Ontario raises the bar on the perfect hunting experience.Strict laws regulate when, where, what and how a person can hunt.Eeach gun hunter MUST pass both the Canadian Firearms Safety Course exam and the Ontario Hunter Education Course exam.Non-residents must present one of the fives types of hunting accreditation recognized in Ontario, comply with federal firearms regulations and be the registered guest of a tourist outfitter and/or hunt with a guide, where required.There are lots of hunting trips in wide price range. For example: Deer Hunt trip can cost from $425 CAD (White-tailed Deer Hunt, Indian Point Camp) up to $3354 CAD (Big Bush and Island Deer Hunt, fully guided, all inclusive hunt). It's our neighbor's trophy at the picture. We are not hunters at all.
