Cee's Which Way Challenge

Since Canada Day is July 1, I will post some Canadian and Toronto "Which Way" photos.


We start at the border crossing from the US into Canada - directional signs, CANADA sign and an Ontario license plate.

Hopefully you get across the border and won't need these services.

Sights as you head towards Toronto.
Burlington Canal lift bridge from the Skyway. The Burlington Canal Lift Bridge is located on the western shore of Lake Ontario on a site rich in history. The bridge spans the Burlington Canal that was opened in 1826. Once a narrow cut, the canal now provides Burlington Bay (Hamilton Harbour) with navigable access to the Atlantic Ocean.

Heading into Toronto towards home.

If you arrive by train into downtown Toronto then you may spot this very old sign in Union Station.

And if you arrive by bus, hopefully this doesn't happen.

Now that you've arrived in Canada's largest city, and North America's fourth largest city, let's have a
look at some public transportation.
You're going to want to visit some museums such as the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum), you'll get out at the Museum subway station, but take your time and enjoy the gorgeous nods to history.

Check out the hieroglyphics within the letters of the sign.

By now you'll be hungry so head to Chinatown at the Spadina station.

Perhaps you're coming intp town for the 2015 Pan Am games.

You can hop on a streetcar and head over to the Eaton Centre at Dundas Square. The square is much more exciting than going shopping.

Or make a stop at City Hall before Dundas Square? The building with the clock is "old" City Hall, the water is in front of "new" City Hall.

You never know what you might encounter!

You can cross at Dundas and Yonge using the Pedestrian Priority Phase. a feature that allows pedestrians to cross the road safely in any direction while traffic is stopped for all vehicles. In these selected intersections, a red light is shown to vehicles in all directions while the pedestrian "walk" sign is provided to pedestrians to travel in any direction they wish including diagonally across the intersection.

Then maybe the CN Tower and/or the Aquarium.

From the top of the CN Tower you can contemplate "Which Way" next?

West?

East?

North?

South, perhaps a boat ride over to the Islands?

Or are you up for a  steep climb to Casa Loma?

This is thirsty work!! Next stop, The Distillery District.

You can wander the pedestrian lanes of the District and choose a patio or restaurant that draws you in.

Or maybe it's time to head back home?
