Toronto is Canada’s largest city and the fourth largest in North America. Home to a diverse population of approx. 2.8 million people, Toronto is a global center renowned for its fashion and finance districts; its culinary hotspots; its world-class medical and research facilities; and its celebrated arts scene. We invite you to experience Toronto’s many sides by registering for one of our fantastic tours.

For the artist:
McMichael Canadian Art Collection – Thursday, October 23, 2014
Located north of the city, the McMichael Canadian Art Collection combines a pastoral setting with the creativity of the human hand. This 15-room facility was constructed out of hand-hewn timbers and native stone, providing an impressive setting for works by Canada’s most famous artists including the historic Group of Seven.
The tour will start with lunch at the historic Doctor’s House where you will enjoy a three-course meal. After lunch you will have an opportunity to stroll down the main street of the Town of Kleinburg where antiques, collectibles, early Canadian architecture and beautiful handcrafted furnishings provide a flavour of early provincial living and values. The tour will then continue to the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, where you will have the opportunity to experience the work of Tom Thomson, the Group of Seven, their contemporaries, and First Nations, Métis, Inuit and other artists who have made a contribution to the development of Canadian art.
