ARTSY FARTSY LIVELY ART + CULTURE FOR SUMMER

Summer is my favourite season. People emerge from their cozy dens, ready to explore the world around them. And there is so much to discover in York Durham Headwaters (YDH). The charming villages, vibrant festivals and show-stopping art. Such a wonderfully vast array of choices!

To begin, a dash of art. Depending on my mood – is it

a folk art day or a national treasure day? – I visit one of

the region’s many galleries. The McMichael Canadian

Art Collection is a great place to start. I could gaze at

the architectural glory of the building all day long. Also,

it features works by Tom Thompson and his contem-

poraries, as well as First Nations, Métis and Inuit artists.

After strolling through the galleries, I clip-clop along the

winding outdoor pathways to the sculpture garden.

When I’m feeling somewhat intangible, a visit to the

Robert McLaughlin Gallery is just the ticket! It holds

the largest collection of works by the Painters Eleven

– Ontario’s first abstract art collective. The Station

Gallery has that vibrant buzz that comes from creative

collaboration. Housed in a vintage railway station, the

gallery hosts a bevy of working artists that use the studio

spaces and give public workshops.

Driving through YDH with the wind flowing through my

mane, I’m struck by the unique character of each small

town. For lakeside charm, I stop in Historic Port Perry

and browse the boutiques along the waterfront. To im-

press Big Red with a hearty meal in a gorgeous location,

I’ll suggest meeting in Main Street Unionville,

a simply beautiful street located in Markham. For some-

thing completely different, I gallop through Downtown

Orangeville, which has 55 enchanting wood sculptures

nestled within the tree-lined streets – not to mention

incredible shopping!

Our country was shaped by the automotive industry,

and the Canadian Automotive Museum tells the tale

with aplomb. A car enthusiast’s dream, the museum

boasts an extensive collection of Canadian and

European cars, and a captivating exhibit on Canada’s

auto-making history.

From an architectural perspective, the Hillary House

National Historic Site is worth a visit. And when you

consider that it holds the Koffler Museum of Medicine

with medical instruments dating back as far as the 1800s

– it’s a cultural double whammy! Need more history?

I also delight in visiting the Dufferin County Museum &

Archives which is filled with incredible artifacts that tell

the stories of Headwaters’ past. Another architectural

gem (a golden carrot, if you will) is the Sharon Temple

National Historic Site and Museum. This iconic land-

mark features historical exhibits, heritage herb gardens

and a picnic-perfect lawn.

To experience the sights, sounds and...ahem...smells of the

1800s, I visit the Black Creek Pioneer Village. The grain

barn is especially appealing with its intoxicating aroma of

fresh hay. For more old-time action, the Georgina Pioneer

Village depicts life between 1850 and 1920, with historical

buildings including a one-room schoolhouse and a

blacksmith shop that crafts #insta-worthy horseshoes.

At night, the YDH theatre scene sparkles with comedy and

mystery. I like to take in dinner and a show at the Herongate

Barn Dinner Theatre. Horses and humans alike adore the

clever refurbished dairy barn, and the

performances are on point!

Summer is festival season in YDH and this year’s line-up

does not disappoint. On July 22, I’ll be at the Alton Mill

Arts Centre Wine + Food Festival – the perfect storm of

gastronomy and art. I can almost taste the gourmet good-

ies and fruity wine now. Another treat for all five senses is

the Jambana One World Festival, which showcases art,

music and flavours from around the world. And of course,

it wouldn’t be summer without the TD Markham Jazz

Festival sending smooth sounds into the night sky.

Satisfy your culture cravings with YDH’s sophisticated –

yet friendly – offerings. Connect the dots to create

your ultimate summer art + culture getaway at

YorkDurhamHeadwaters.ca. Then saddle up and

head north for an unforgettable road trip adventure.

#visitYDH

There is a ton of cool stuff to do here that you just

can’t find in the concrete jungle.

As the resident daredevil, my friends look to me to

plan the trip – well, except for Chuckles. He’s more

of an indoor horse. But you should see him on a

zip-line. Man, that horse can fly! Treetop Eco-Ad-

venture Park has seven zip-lines where you can

hit speeds of 60km/hour. And if you’re stuck in a

car for an hour with three stinky friends, they also

have combat archery – which is like paintball but

with foam-tipped arrows. Not a bad way to release

tension, right? Oh, and if flying projectiles are your

jam, run – don’t walk – to BATL Pickering for a

round of axe throwing. It’s thrilling and

empowering, and there are coaches on hand to

help beginners, so you don’t have to worry about,

er...mishaps.

Um, new topic! One of my favourite things to do

in life is hitting the trails. Uxbridge is literally the

Trail Capital of Canada. My friends and I blaze our

way through the wicked network of trails on foot or

bike. For more action, we head up to Albion Hills

Conservation Area for over 50 kilometres of super

fast double-track and single-track mountain bike

trails. The views are so extraordinary...if you slow

down long enough to look.

I think summer is for making a splash. Which is

what the Rail Yard Wake Park is all about. It’s an

easy way to get into board sports like wakeboard-

ing. They use a cable system to pull riders so the

lake is completely boat-free, and beginners get

help from certified instructors. So, yeah Ma, it’s

totally safe! Another addictive water sport is stand-

up paddle boarding. Let’s call it SUP. You stand on a

board (kind of like a surf board, but thicker) and use

a paddle to motor through the water. Last summer,

my family went to Port Perry SUP to take on this

cool new sport...everyone from my 5-year-old

cousin to my 80-year-old granny had a blast. If you

wanna stay seated, that’s cool too! Rent a canoe

or kayak, and explore the sparkling waters of the

Island Lake Conservation Area.

Back on land, there is nothing like burning rubber

at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. I’m talking

extreme karting action AND you get to watch

celebrity drivers speed by on the legendary Grand

Prix Circuit track. And get this: after some high

performance on-track coaching, the gang and I will

take an adrenaline-charged hot lap with the Ron

Fellows Driving Experience.

Let’s be real. There are days when being outside

just won’t work. It could be too hot or too rainy. Or

you don’t want to wreck your flower girl dress be-

fore your auntie’s wedding even starts. Don’t worry.

There’s lots to do indoors, too. Like defying gravity

at Sky Zone Trampoline Park in Whitby or Vaughn.

Their wall-to-wall trampolines take dodgeball to a

new level! And speaking of levels, the HUB indoor

climbing centre is the biggest climbing gym in

Ontario. They’ve got lessons and supervised climb-

ing for beginners, and experts can try to conquer

the Dragon – a beast of a climb that ends with a

thrilling jump into a foam pit.

Can I tell you a secret? Sometimes I like to chill out

and go fishing. The gang and I will book a charter

from the Port Whitby Marina and fish for salmon

and trout. At the end of the day, we take the fish

home for the world’s freshest barbeque or charcoal

grill. Yum – so smoky and delicious!

So, break free from the city. Choose your own

adrenaline-soaked adventure at

YorkDurhamHeadwaters.ca. Then pack a bag,

make a playlist, and carpe diem. This is gonna

be your squad’s raddest summer ever!

Don’t get me wrong. I’m serious about my golf.

When I want to play like a pro, I make my way to

the many world-class courses in the region. If I

feel like walking a mile in Jack Nicklaus’s shoes,

I go to Wooden Sticks. Their 18-hole course

features 12 bucket list golf holes inspired by PGA

courses such as St. Andrews, Augusta National,

TCP Sawgrass and more!

A WORLD-CLASS GOLF HOLIDAY IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD

If you’re as passionate about golf as I am, you’ll

recognize the name of Doug Carrick – he’s

crafted award-winning courses across Canada

and around the world. We’ve got two

Carrick-designed courses in our region: the

challenging rolling greens of Osprey Valley Golf and the exquisitely creative layout of

Eagles Nest Golf Club. Trust me, these courses

will keep you on your toes. Bring your A-game

and a little luck, and you’ll love every swing!

My Aunt Henny-Penny used to say that a long

day on the links left her feeling “peckish”. When

I want a little nosh with my game, I visit the in-

ternationally recognized Angus Glen Golf Club.

It has two challenging 18-hole championship

golf courses – and offers a swanky afternoon

tea on the first Sunday of every month.

Look what I’ve done. I’ve mentioned food and

now I’m all hungry. But that’s the thing about

golf – it pairs well with friends and food.

When golfing with friends, I love Deer Creek Golf. Its North Course will challenge the pros,

while the South Course is friendlier for begin-

ners. We’ll play a round, then meet for drinks

and laughs on the patio at the Gem Room

Restaurant.

One of the best kept secrets about golf is that

when you play with your sweetie, the date lasts

all day! I like to treat my sweetheart to a game

They say that golf is an individual sport. I say that’s poppycock!

Hole-In-One Golf Courses For Players Of All Stripes By Chelsea Chicken

Why keep the fresh air, gorgeous vistas and delicious challenge of the game all to yourself? At York Durham Headwaters (YDH), we believe that when you share golf with friends and family, you share an unforgettable experience.

at Copper Creek, followed by a tête-à-tête in

the dining room. We’ll share tagliere for two

and a bottle of wine, and leave with stars in our

eyes. For a longer romantic retreat, we book

a getaway at the Hockley Valley Resort. The

18-hole course is set within the natural land-

scape and offers stunning views. After a day of

golf, we treat our tender muscles to a couple’s

massage and explore Adamo Estate Winery

before heading back to the resort and lingering

over a candlelit meal at Cabin. What could be

more perfect? Remember: the couple that golfs

together, stays together!

As you may have guessed, my love affair with

golf is lifelong. It started when I was a little

chicky following Mum and Dad as they played

around the world. I heartily recommend intro-

ducing your little ones to the sport too. We like

the Lynbrook Family Golf Centre where you

can play a full nine holes or challenge the fam

on the mini-golf course. Bathurst Glen has a

terrific family course that introduces kids to the

sport, building confidence without the pressure

of playing on a full course. And after twilight,

for every paid adult, one child plays free!

Golf. It’s a sport best shared with others. Design

your own golf experience with friends and fam-

ily by visiting YorkDurhamHeadwaters.ca. It’s

easy! Get out of the coop and onto the course!

After all, that’s what summer’s all about!

When it comes to spirits, if we want authentic black strap rum and moonshine, we go to the Last Straw Distillery. The distillery tour is the bee’s knees – and so are the spirits! The thing is, moonshine gets Gatsby’s stomach rum-bling. After a tour, we always pull up to Asian Legend for the most delicate and delectable dim sum in town.

With spirits having their moment, the craft beer movement remains strong in YDH. One of my favourite breweries is the Old Flame Brewing Co. in Port Perry. Take the tour, smell the malts and hops, and taste the difference handcrafted makes. And while I’m in town, I always make time for beet salad at Marwan’s Global Bistro. It is unbeatable!

Now, with a name like Manantler, you know you’re in for an epic ride. The Manantler Craft Brewing Co. offers six signature suds and 25 other brews. I’m stuck on their explosive Seismic Narwhal. If old Papa Hemingway were here, this would be his beer.

Speaking of beer, it’s hard to believe you can improve on pizza, yeah? Allow me to intro-duce beer-infused pizza crust. Gatsby couldn’t

I’m a man of few words. Except when it comes to the outstanding local food and drink coming out of York Durham Headwaters (YDH). My man Gatsby and I are teaming up to cruise the region and relish all it offers. Buckle your seat-belts, rev up the jalopy and leave the wet blankets at home – summer’s here!

Back in the day, YDH was a hot spot for rum runners. What pairs well with giggle water? Yep – cheese. You better believe Gatsby and I will be all aboard the Boxcars & Beers: The Cheese Train for a curated cheese and craft beer tasting. We’ll disem-bark in Uxbridge for an additional tasting and tour of The Second Wedge Brewing Co.

While in town, we’ll grab a bison burger at the Urban Pantry Restaurant. Then browse the farmers’ market and pick up a new cheese board at The Passionate

Cook’s Essentials before we hop back on the train and head for home.

Our region is a beverage boom town. Craft breweries, wineries, cideries and distilleries are cropping up everywhere. It’s an exciting time for anybody that craves premium local ingredients in their booze! For the best of the best, I tackle the Rural Routes & Dirty Boots self-guided craft brewery tour which explores all the great brews and tasty treats in Durham. Gatsby and I plan to park our bikes and hit the road with the top down and the tunes cranked. We’ll sail through the region, stopping only to sample artisanal beers and ciders, with fresh charcuterie (just for me of course), fresh produce and bread.

During Prohibition, Grand Valley was infa-mous for being the wettest town in Ontario. The Grand Spirits Distillery is the first legal distillery in the region. Gatsby’s keen to sample their handcrafted whiskey and gin. Then we’ll head to Landman Gardens & Bakery for a farm fresh dinner in the Blackhouse. After dinner, it’s back to Grand Spirits. The joint hosts copacetic speakeasy vibe held in an old-time school house.

FanaticsFOODIE believe his taste buds when I took him to

Hungry Brew Hops. We paired their smoked duck pizza with the gastropub’s own lager and let me tell you – it was the cat’s pajamas.

As you can see, summer is one of the top four seasons to enjoy food and drink in YDH. But don’t be a sap. If you’re going to get zozzled on giggle water, call a taxi, make a date with Uber, have a designated driver (DD) or better yet, stay overnight at one of our lovely accommodations.

If you go for a DD, pay them in artisanal cheese. Trust me.

No secret knocks or passwords required.
