TLTV Ep 39 - St James' Cathedral (Toronto)

St James' Cathedral is an Anglican church situated in downtown Toronto's northeast corner of King and Church Streets. It is probably the most dominant neo-Gothic church in Toronto. It's steeple, which in the late 19th century was the tallest man-made structure in Canada, stands 305 feet above the ground. The construction of the present church began in 1853 on the foundations of several earlier churches which had the habit of burning down. It was completed in 1878. Currently the church is both a parish church ministering to the historic St Lawrence neighbourhood and a cathedral (the church where the bishop's chair or throne is located), making it the spiritual centre of the diocese and a focal point for the civic life of Toronto. The Cathedral has also been designated as an Ontario Heritage Property by the Ministry of Culture and has been designated as a heritage site by Heritage Toronto.

TLTV Ep 38 - Rock Garden - Part 2

We're back at the incredible Rock Garden. The blooming flowers in a variety of colours, the stone paths going in every direction, the huge amount of wooden benches just waiting for tired travelers, the super tea house overlooking the gardens. This place is magical and is a must-see for anyone in Southern Ontario.

TLTV Ep 37 - Rock Garden - Part 1

We're back at the RBG, this time visiting the incredible Rock Garden. This Japanese-style garden is nestled in a small valley in Hamilton and is well worth the trip. First-time visitors are usually stunned at what has been created at the Rock Garden. Each spring, the sheltered bowl of the Rock Garden bursts into a spectacular display of over 100,000 bulbs, as you will see in this video. The bulbs are brought in from growers in Holland and planted in September. After they bloom they are lifted and sold at the RBG's bulb sale.

TLTV Ep 36 - Royal Botanical Gardens - RBG Centre

We are beginning a three-part series of videos from the RBG (Royal Botanical Gardens) in Hamilton. Established by the provincial government in 1941, the RBG now enjoys a worldwide reputation based on its first-class horticultural collection and natural lands. It is Canadas largest botanical garden (2,700 acres) and one of the countrys premier cultural, education and scientific institutions. It has extensive educational programs and serves as an outdoor laboratory for scientific research. Currently the RBG is comprised of five large garden areas and four nature sanctuaries, from a Japenese rock garden to an arboretum to a berry tract. In this video we'll see how the colours of spring are bursting out at the main location, the RBG Centre.
