Oshawa, Ontario view of Lake Ontario from the park terrace.
This was the home of R.S. McLaughlin, the Canadian Auto Baron and founder of General Motors Canada.
The Maple Syrup Festival in Oshawa, ON is mainly a local event. However, the festival is great with fresh pancakes and syrup, activities for kids and adults, and informative and interactive historical displays and activities. The festival typically occurs during March, and in Ontario, there's still snow then!
