The first thing that most visitors find striking about the attractive
city of London, Ontario is the number of trees. Originally the
community was quite isolated, plunked in the middle of a forest, and
thus earned the nickname "The Forest City". Today Londoners remain
fiercely proud of the city's earthy beginnings, and has undertaken
the policy of planting at least 1,000 trees on an annual basis. As well as a strong industrial and commercial base, London is home to the University of Western Ontario, a renowned centre of academics and research—particularly in the field of medicine. In addition to the numerous trees, London is full of parks, pathways and green space that offer year round opportunities for leisure activities and relaxation.
Many people think Stratford, Ontario
has Much Ado About Nothing but theatre. The truth is, however, that although
this quaint Southwestern Ontario city is most known for its long-running Shakespearian
festival, the largest in North America, this is only one piece (albeit large
piece) of fabric in Stratford's colourful quilt. Stratford is a cultural haven
defined by the galleries, theatres, live music and eclectic shops found in abundance
throughout the city. Those who visit Stratford are lucky enough to experience
the kind of hospitality and charm that only proud citizens can provide.
