    Cute video - Niagra on the Lake is a gorgeous and historical town. Think you did a great job pointing out the "uniqueness" and specific features of each town that you chose. I noticed that you point out that people take pride in the gardens, surroundings, houses, etc. at certain points. Maybe this is something Canadians take for granted - but it something really nice about the English part of the overall culture of Canada - the pride in gardening, flowers, etc. Of course many cultures do, but the English characteristic is really noticeable when it comes to gardens. Nice job!

    Often, people forget that southwestern Ontario exists. I would strongly recommend Amherstburg ON as a destination. Quaint town with shops, cafes, and B&Bs and loaded with history (the War of 1812). You can tour Fort Malden grounds and barracks. There are many festivals and events in the warmer season (and in this part of Ontario, mild weather lasts long into the fall😊).

    One year I took a couple of weeks and did a lighthouse tour of Canada's Lake Huron shore after having read a book "Alone in the night" about the lighthouses, their keepers and their experiences in the early days of Great Lakes navigation in the 19th century. Fascinating. Some of the things those people and their families experienced were amazing. One keeper had to maintain the lighthouses on both Owen Sound and Leith on the other side of the sound. While rowing between them he was swarmed by black flies, his eyes became infected and he went blind. He applied for a government pension and the reply was "You should have rowed faster"! If a family member died in the winter they would be preserved in the snow until they could be buried!
    If anyone has seen the Stephen King movie "The Dead Zone" they will recognise NOTL as the location where it was filmed. I believe the gazebo @18:38 on the video was built for the movie.

    Peterborough has a few neat attractions but has turned into a toilet consisting of methadone, crime, drugs, tent cities, and poverty. It was great in the 60s and 70s but has gone downhill, with its traffic system incapable of handling the over-development.

    I would say check out Leamington as well. Home to Point Pelee National Park the southern most part of Canada actually below the 42nd parallel!
    Port Colborne is great especially during their annual fest which is Canal Days. An amusing thing about Canal Days, if you look closely at the signs you will notice the "C" in Canal is always securely fastened and people have a habit of stealing it! Not being rude, just stating a fact that I've witnessed several times!

By the way, I'm an avid canoeist, and this is a good starting point for trips. Not very wild, but very pretty waterways all around this area. By the way, I didn't know about Grimsby, so thanks for that tip. I'll drive down this summer!
      I'll just add that I know almost nothing about Eastern Ontario at all, except for Morrisburg, where there's a famous pioneer village. There's an excellent pioneer village in N/W Toronto as well, of course, which I recommend to anyone who hasn't seen it. I also recommend Fort Ste Marie Among the Hurons, near Midland, and The Martyrs' Shrine across the road.

      In Peterborough, strongly suggest to visit the history of the canoe/boats., possibly known as PETERBOROUGH BOATS I believe. Canadian Broadcasting of Canada [CBC] of Education filmed ages ago my granddad the canoeist and my mom acted as a naive passenger in the canoe. Other than the 50 foot Lift Locks there is another one of smaller height in Kirkfield, ON....all the other locks on the beautiful Trent-Severn Canal River System have a total of TWO two-door gate system division of of two front or back either travelling upstream or downstream. VALVES WILL OPEN INTERIOR TO FILL UP ENCLOSURE...A LOT OF JUMPING WATER around your craft which is Quite exciting or if going downstream, the valves will be opened outside of the enclosure. Well, of your nine places mentioned I only need to visit Grimsby and Niagara on the Lake. Thx for the input. I might add re Southhampton as you approach the view of Lake Huron on the main street a unique LIT UP CENOTAPH OF "LEST WE FORGET" separates the boulevard!

      There’s two quarries divided by a road; one is for pedestrians to swim in and has a high dive, while the other people use to fish in. Also, there’s an epic trail around most of town and some of it comes from removing of railroad tracks. It’s very scenic and trail/train bridge crosses the Thames river. Many landmarks/buildings are made from limestone, and our town was used in a Murdoch mystery episode on TV, because of the ‘looks’ of the main downtown street. There’s a few good restaurants there lots of specialty shops so it’s worth a look 👀, and I’ve almost forgotten the little falls, which St. Mary’s was once named.

From there you can go north through Espanola to Highway 17. Turn right there to Sudbury. The Big Nickle Mine in Sudbury does offer tours of the mine. Without rushing it can be a e day round trip. In the summer it is best to book your crossing from Tobermory to South Bay Mouth. On the way South, take the ferry tour of the 30,000 islands at Parry Sound. You won't be disappointed.

    Although I agree that Niagara on the Lake is absolutely charming and worth the stay. Great place to go visit vineyards close by. I do however have to disagree about that nice restaurant you mentioned. This is a place where they put ALL their efforts on the outside to lure people in. It is gorgeous with all the pretty flowers and all. Once inside though, it was quite disappointing. The light fixture above our table was so thick with cobwebs, we actually were afraid they would fall on our plates. And the food!?? Clearly this is a place that doesn't care for repeat business. They know people who are there, will likely not have an opportunity to come back so why put in the effort. I'm sure local people stay away from it and they would be right to do so. We were 6 adults and none of us enjoyed the food they ate. Be warned if you are in the area.
    The Garrison House just on the edge of town was a much better choice. Maybe not as picturesque but by far a superior dining experience.
