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

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.

Etienne Brule Park

Hotels Close to Etienne Brule Park
Etienne Brulé Park is located in the Humber River valley just north of Bloor Street West in Toronto, Ontario. It is named after Étienne Brûlé, an early French explorer in the Toronto area.
The Old Mill and The Old Mill Bridge - Mills have existed at this site since 1793 when King’s Mill, Toronto’s first industrial building, supplied wood for the construction of Fort York (1793) and early Toronto. A bridge has stood over the Humber River at this location since 1837. The present arched stone bridge was built in 1916. Both the mill and the bridge are historically significant and have been designated under the Ontario Heritage Act.
Fishing at the park
Significant improvements are being made to the health of this fishery based on the Humber River Fisheries Management Plan.
One of the projects is to improve fish movement in the watershed. Many of the dams from the Old Mill to Palgrave in the Town of Caledon have already been modified to enhance fish migration and the access to 70 km of fish habitat that has been disconnected from Lake Ontario for over 150 years.
Other initiatives to help protect fish during the sensitive life cycle periods and to promote angling opportunities are also underway.
