Ontario, Canada, has a lot of charming small towns. These characteristic towns have a very long history and are the legacy of early European colonists. The natural environment here is well protected. Let’s share with you the small towns in Ontario, Canada.

Lindsay travel diary.

After reading the list of the top ten most beautiful small towns in Ontario, I decided to include them in my plan. I slowly walked closer and collected them all with my own pen and lens.

The small town of Lindsay is just over an hour east of Toronto.

On October 5, 2017, the weather was perfect and I decided to go for a trip.

The blue sky, white clouds, and red maples are so beautiful and refreshing all the way! 1. First stop for a tour of the town: Museum address: Olde Gaol Museum, 50 Victoria Ave N, Lindsay, ONK9V4G3. Plan to visit the museum first.

But I found that it was closed and I had to call to make an appointment before it would open.

Had to give up.

I read the notice and it was open from Wednesday to Sunday. There was a phone number on it. If you are interested, you can make an appointment in advance.

After walking around nearby, I found that the city hall is right next to it.

It looks low-key and meaningful.

Second stop: Old Mill Park Address: Old Mill Park, 16 Kent St E, Lindsay, ONK9V2C1 Seeing that it was only ten minutes’ walk from Old Mill Park, I decided to walk there.

Walking along the riverside trail is the most comfortable and pleasant.

Several people were fishing on the dam.

After observing for a while, I found that even though the water flow was fast, I could actually catch fish.

These are the remains of the old mill.

If the ancestors wanted to survive, the mill was the basis for survival.

So I found that many cities here still have old mills.

There is almost no one in the park. It is really beautiful and lonely.

I recently posted on a circle of friends that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, white squirrels, white swans, and frogs came to visit.

Later, I received a comment from a friend: In China, all animals except humans are endangered; in Canada, except humans, all animals are overrun.

This period coincides with the National Day holiday in China, and I saw crowds of people everywhere in many domestic scenic spots.

China and Canada are really going to two extremes. It would be nice to have a balance! Third stop: St. Mary Church. On the return trip, we decided to go for a walk in the city.

Not far away, I saw this beautiful church.

Looks very new.

While we were standing there staring, a car stopped in front and asked us if we were interested in coming in to visit. He said he was Thomas Lynch, the pastor of this church.

Rather than being respectful, it is better to obey orders and enter the church.

I found that the church was being renovated, but it was indeed very delicate and beautiful, which is extremely rare among Canadian churches.

I have seen too many old and luxurious churches in Europe before. Compared with the two, I have always felt that Canadian churches are too simple.

The pastor said that the last renovation was at the beginning of the last century, and this renovation lasted five years.

First, it involves renovation of the entire interior and exterior, which is a huge project; second, the renovation can only take half a year, and construction is impossible in the Canadian winter.

During the chat, I learned that the pastor’s ancestors immigrated here from Scotland in the 19th century.

Now there are four brothers and three sisters in the family, which is a rare big family.

But think about how prosperous Canadians would be if they all had children like this.

Looking around at such a huge renovation project as the church, it must be expensive.

Ask weakly, and the pastor will tell you honestly.

It is said that the total *** cost is 3.5 million knives.

I asked again about the source of funding, and the pastor said that it was all funded by believers, and the government would not provide funding.

The pastor said that the church decoration is about to be completed and will have a grand opening at 11:00 am on December 10, 2017, and invited us to go.

It's more than an hour, not too far, so you can come here to experience it if you have time.

Walking along Russell St W, you will see several churches along the way.

This city is not big. At a glance, there are at least four or five churches.

This is St. Paul's Anglican Church, which is equally spectacular! Passing by the fire station.

It says Everysecondcounts.

Indeed, every second counts for fire engines.

Therefore, when driving in Canada, if you encounter a fire truck flashing its lights and sirens, you must give way as soon as possible, otherwise you will be ticketed.

2. Town History Enjoy the scenery of a city and read the history of a city.

I only made up for my homework after returning home and searched for relevant information online.

The town of Lindsay began in 1825.

By 1827, the American family Purdy's built a dam on the Scugog River at Lindsay.

The next year they built a sawmill and in 1830 a gristhouse.

After that a small village slowly expanded.

In 1834, surveyor John Huston came here to plan streets.
