Whether you’re on the east coast or the west coast, the signs of spring are everywhere. And nothing heralds the start of warm weather in Canada more than Easter. It’s time to get family and friends together for a brunch outing, pysanka decorating or to check out some of the fabulous places to get sweet treats across the country.
Here are some of our Vacay.ca recommendations:
La Fudgerie in Quebec City has two locations, a boutique in the Quartier Petit Champlain and a factory on Louis-XIV Boulevard. If you’ve been holding off on getting your chocolate fix for Lent, here’s the place that made it worthwhile to wait.
Langdon Hall Country Hotel and Spa in Cambridge, Ontario has its popular Fish Friday in Wilks’ Bar, featuring fish & chips or a daily fish feature. Langdon Hall has ranked No. 2 on the Vacay.ca Top 50 Restaurants in Canada in 2012 and 2013. Read more about it here.
Diefenbunker, Canada’s Cold War Museum in Carp, Ontario (a suburb of Ottawa) is holding a massive Easter egg hunt on Saturday. Imagine how many places you can hide in a 100,000-square-foot bunker and chances are someone’s going to get lost. Don’t worry, you will eventually be found. Read all about the Diefenbunker here.
Whitepoint Resort in Queens County, Nova Scotia is having a Banana Dreamboats day on Saturday. Stop by the bonfire pit to make your very own dreamboat with chocolate chips, marshmallows and bananas.
Oak Hammock Marsh in Stonewall, Manitoba will have events all weekend with a GPS egg hunt. You can test your GPS skills by hunting for plastic eggs hidden in the marsh and then a Bunny Bingo Game where the price is chocolate Easter bunnies.
