Get a Behind the Scenes look at the GM Centre!

Follow in the footsteps of the world’s greatest athletes and entertainers with a “behind the scenes” tour of Vancouver’s state-of-the-art arena, General Motors Place. Our tours offer an intimate look at the facility – where your favourite players get ready for the big game where world-class entertainers prepare for their performances. There is also the opportunity to see the spectacular sightlines from the press area and private hospitality suites.

Included with your tour are interesting facts and stats on General Motors Place, as well as information on Vancouver’s professional team: the Vancouver Canucks of the NHL.

Enjoy the presentation in comfort from the seats in The River Rock Club or in one of their restaurants the Wiser’s Centre Ice Grill. A General Motors Place tour is a “not to be missed ” opportunity for visitors to Vancouver, as well as locals!

Free Toronto Event!

FREE, FREE, FREE! You heard me! For those of you in Ontario’s capital, don’t miss out on the city’s Doors Open Toronto event taking place May 29 and 30, 2010. One weekend, once a year, 150 bulidings of architectural historic, cultural and social significance open their doors to the public for a city-wide celebration.

The program allows visitors free access to properties that are either not usually open to the public, or would normally charge an entrance fee. Many locations have organized guided tours, displays and activities to enrich the visitor experience.

Participating buildings include heritage landmarks, modern structures, hidden gems, green roofs, places of worship, halls of learning, boardrooms, bedrooms, breweries, lighthouses, mansions, museums, theatres, national historic sites, centres of rail travel, cemeteries, factories, banking halls, architects’ offices and more.

Doors Open Toronto invites you to get to know the city, whether you’ve lived in Toronto all your life or you’re visiting for the first time. See Toronto like you’ve never seen it before!

This event is free, so I don’t know why you wouldn’t want to go!
