Feedback from the 2008 tour:

 

"The tour was one of the most memorable vacations I have ever taken.... It was such a pleasure traveling through small communities that I would otherwise not have seen from the 401 corridor. The community members went out of their way to welcome us to their neighborhoods.... We are so lucky to live in a province with such a remarkable waterfront trail stretching some 680 KM across Ontario." - 2008 Participant

"An experience and an excellent memory that we will not forget!" - 2008 Participant
