On a recent whirlwind day trip to Ontario's Prince Edward County, I learned a lot (that P. E. C. is an island, for starters) and ate even more. It was all part of a five-day gathering for leaders of Slow Food Canada, which coincided with a visit from Slow Food International founder Carlo Petrini.

The good news is that the LCBO and its workers talked long past their midnight strike deadline to reach a tentative deal at 7 a. m. Wednesday. It's good because the province's 6,000 LCBO workers appear to have made some important gains in the proposed settlement.

Mary Murphy How about asking someone who has a cottage or cottages located at East Lake, West Lake, Northport, etc. Another place is Lake on the Mountain.

I'm hoping someone can give me some suggestions to my problem here. Aside from the many beautiful wineries in The County, are there any other really great spots to have wedding pictures taken in Prince Edward County?
I'm sure there is but just can't think of any. Message me if you would rather do it that way than posting here. Thanks in advance.


Prince Edward County is looking forward to the first Creative Minds event next Tuesday. Check out the event link on our page!
