The University of Guelph is ranked as one of Canada's top comprehensive universities because of our commitment to student learning and innovative research.

It was established in 1964 after the amalgamation of Ontario Agricultural College, the Macdonald Institute, and the Ontario Veterinary College. While the U of G currently offers over 94 undergraduate degrees, 48 graduate programs, and 6 associate degrees in many different disciplines, it is the on-going history of achievement in its roots of agriculture and veterinary medicine, and the modern focus on life sciences that define the university.
The University of Guelph was ranked by Maclean's magazine as the fourth-best comprehensive university in Canada in 2008 and 2009 ("comprehensive" indicating institutions with significant research activity and a range of programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels, including professional degrees). It has held the top place in this ranking in 1999, 2002, 2003, 2006, and 2007, with its reputation, innovative research-intensive programs, and lively campus life cited as particular strengths.

Hotels Close to Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO)
LCBO stores are generally the only stores allowed to sell hard liquor in Ontario.
The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is a provincial Crown corporation in Ontario, Canada established in 1927 by Lieutenant Governor William Donald Ross, on the advice of his Premier, Howard Ferguson, to sell liquor, wine, and beer through a chain of retail stores. Such sales had been banned outright in 1916; thus, the creation of the LCBO marked an easing of the province's temperance regime (see Prohibition in Canada).
LCBO stores are generally the only stores allowed to sell hard liquor in Ontario. Currently, the LCBO is one of the world's largest single purchasers of beverage alcohol products. Beer is also sold by the (Molson Coors, InBev and Sapporo Brewery owned) Brewers Retail Inc., which goes by the name The Beer Store. Wine can also be found in a number of stores operated by wineries and licensed to sell their own brands, however the LCBO is by far the largest wine retailer in the province.
Licensed bars and restaurants may resell alcoholic beverages, but they must be consumed on the establishment's premises. The bars and restaurants themselves must buy their products from the LCBO, The Beer Store, or directly from Ontario wineries and breweries.

Conestoga College

~25.66 miles from Burlington city center
Hotels Close to Conestoga College
Conestoga College is a leading Canadian Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning.
The Conestoga College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning is a public college based in Kitchener, Ontario in Canada.
The College was founded in 1967 as the Conestoga College of Applied Arts and Technology, one of many such institutions established in that time by the Ontario government to grant diplomas and certificates in career-related, skills-oriented programs. It was renamed in 2002 when the government extended the school's reach, namely to grant degrees in technology-based fields.
Over the years, it has added additional programs such as the Master of Business Administration program, in cooperation with the University of Windsor. In addition, the College offers a new nursing curriculum leading to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.Sc.N.) degree. Students accepted to Conestoga’s Nursing Program will take all four years of study at the Doon Campus in Kitchener. Graduates of the program will receive a degree from McMaster University.
Beginning in August 2003 two new programs began which would be the first to award a degree to students entirely through the college. The two programs are the B.A.Tech Integrated Advanced Manufacturing Technologies program and the B.A.Tech Architecture - Project and Facility Management. Both programs award graduates a Bachelor of Applied Technology degree. Beginning of 2005 a new Bachelor of Applied Health Sciences Degree in Health Informatics was started in the School of Health Sciences, Community Services and Biotechnology.
In 2006, the college purchased the former University Heights Secondary School in Waterloo for nearly $6,000,000, into which its Waterloo campus relocated later that year. The property is significantly larger than its former Waterloo campus, which the college will sell to cover the cost of the purchase.
Conestoga has a one, two, three or four-year programs; as well as apprenticeship training programs. There are also many options available to students including four-year degrees in Advanced Manufacturing, Teletronics (Telecommunications and Computer Studies), Architecture, Health Informatics or the brand new International Business Management degree which started in the fall of 2006. Conestoga also has several agreements with some Ontario universities like Wilfrid Laurier, Windsor and McMaster, with many more in the works, as well as several other Canadian and international institutions.
Doon Campus is the main campus for Conestoga College. It is located at the south end of Kitchener and houses the central administration offices as well as the majority of courses offered by the college. Regional Campuses have select programs.

Hotels Close to Rose Theatre Brampton
The Rose Theatre is located in downtown Brampton, Ontario. A series of public events throughout September 2006 culminated in a grand opening on 29 September featuring Diana Krall. The theatre includes a main performance hall with seating for 880, and a smaller multi-purpose hall with seating for 130-160, depending on configuration
It was built as "a cultural and tourist destination that will attract significant new business to surrounding restaurants, shops and services". City planners projected that the facilities would generate $2.7 million in economic activity in its first year of operation, and grow to $19.8 million by the fifth year. This is predicted to attract more than 55,000 visitors annually who will spend about $275,000 on before and after-show entertainment, creating close to 300 permanent jobs.
The Rose Theatre was built over a parking lot on land which was originally going to be used to construct an apartment building. However, the soil was found to be too wet and the result was that the Rose Theatre was built there instead.
In May and June 2008, construction included renovations to the surroundings and the installation of a fountain stage.

Montgomery's Inn
Toronto ON
~29.51 miles from Burlington city center
Hotels Close to Montgomery's Inn
Montgomery's Inn is a historic home and inn in the Islington neighbourhood of Etobicoke in the city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Built in 1832 in a Georgian style with later additions, the inn has been restored to an 1847 period, and operates as a museum of the City of Toronto. Once in danger of demolition, it is a cherished remnant of colonial times in Upper Canada. Though most of its artefacts are not original to the building, they are period pieces, and a few belonged to the Montgomery family.
Montgomery's Inn operated as Etobicoke's civic museum before the City of Etobicoke was absorbed into the City of Toronto in 1998. Yet it maintains a tradition of showcasing Etobicoke neighborhood history through historical interpretive displays in the modern sections of the building. Travelers are not permitted to lodge there anymore, but school groups have overnighted as part of the museum's educational outreach program.
Located at the corner of Islington Avenue and Dundas Street, it was built on the historic colonial route connecting Toronto (then called York) with Dundas to the west, and around Lake Ontario to Niagara-on-the-Lake (then Newark). The Inn was located on Mimico Creek, in a neighborhood known as Mimico. But when a train station and then a post office opened with that name nearer the shore of Lake Ontario, a new name was sought. At a meeting held at the Inn, the story goes that councillors could not come up with a satisfactory name. They asked the wife of one of the men where she was born, and when she reported "Islington" in London, England, they adopted it. Today, there is some debate as to which modern neighbourhood this belongs to, but many agree it resides in Humber Valley Village.
Staff offer guided tours of the Inn, but self-guided tours are permitted. Highlights include the Montgomery family's private sitting room, a bar with its wooden cage, the Victorian meeting hall upstairs, and an open–hearth kitchen, which serves treats to visitors, made the old–fashioned way.
For a couple hours each afternoon, a Tea Room serves pots of tea and light snacks for a modest price. There, next to an open fireplace, is a baking oven which, if a fundraising campaign is successful, will operate once more. A bookshop sells souvenirs and items related to the Inn, its period, and neighborhood. A local–history archives is available for research.
The original owner also had land further east on Dundas Street, which recently became an infill townhome development. This project is called Montgomery Estates.
Thomas Montgomery is buried in a gated cemetery on Dundas Street, between Islington and Kipling. The key to the gate is at the Inn, and can be requested to access his plot.
