Visits from Ontario Athletes
We had a fantastic time at the pavilion today and we even got to control the lights on the CN Tower live by using brainwaves (very cool).
They have a full menu filled with Ontario treats from roast duck and maple cheddar to cheesecake on a stick. Their beer selections are mighty tasty and include an organic choice. All plates, cups and utensils are also made of biodegradable material and they really encourage you recycle and use the organics bin.
I’ve only been to a few pavilions so far but Ontario is leading the pack when it comes to food, drinks, and all-round cool (okay well, geeky) things to do. You can check out my pavilions map to see the exact location and follow them on Twitter @EventsOntario.

Any idea/guess as to the capacity for the concerts?
What time do the concerts start do you think? particularly tommorows? Only know one song of theires, but its free!
I’ll have to look into concert times. I know Ontario House is open 10:00am – 2:00am daily.
aaaah pretty cool, can’t wait to be off for two weeks and enjoy all the things happening in the city.

Just to ensure, is it free the entry of the Ontario House? And will it has a big line up to enter on friday?
cheers all!
one band should play at the ontario house is a band from east york ontario they are called still life still
Do you have to be 19 to get in and see the shows?
Went down tonight stoked to see Bedouin Soundclash. Took my teenage son with me. We were VERY disappionted to learn the show was 19+. 🙁
If you get a chance, you should try and catch Tyler Yarema, who is playing from 6 to 8 each night. He’s amazing and should be better known than he is.
Any idea on the special guests tomorrow? I am almost thinking it will be Metric. They were recently added to the bill for the Neil Young tribute shows (last night and tonight), and would likely still be in town tomorrow for a special appearance.
