When not touring themselves guide members are able to take
educational excursions with CTGA. We are seen here visiting at
Ste-Marie-Among-the-Hurons near Midland, Ontario. This is great
preparation for the day when the boss says, "Surprise, you are going to
Ste-Marie!"
When taking a tour to Midland, its neighbour Penetanguishene is
usually on the itinerary too. Here we are at the King's Wharf Theatre in Penetanguishene.
Both towns are jumping off points for beautiful Georgian Bay and the 30,000
Islands.
Our coach window identifica-tion is pictured above. Watch for
it on tour coaches in the Toronto area. It means that a conscientious and
professional CTGA
member is aboard showing our visitors the sights.
