About Elmira and Surrounding Area

A world away from busy urban Ontario, and sometimes a century away from today’s fast-paced society, Elmira and area is an oasis of rural tranquility ( www.township.woolwich.on.ca ). Here, you’ll find that strangers are greeted with a smile and a “hello” and customs and traditions of yesteryear are still observed and honoured.

In this laid-back corner of the world, where Maple syrup is still harvested and produced, visitors can enjoy a multitude of outdoor activities from hiking and cycling, golf, and canoeing, to fly fishing for brown trout in the nearby Grand and Conestogo Rivers. Indoors, you’ll find theatre, shopping for handcrafted objects and the region’s internationally famous quilts, fine dining, and a warm welcome at the many bed and breakfast establishments and country inns (www.bbcanada.com).
