After visiting the falls, students continued their jour-

Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament Restaurant. At
this landmark, students enjoyed watching a rousing live
jousting tournament and eating a delicious meal. Band
Director Ms. Townsend states, “The kids loved this!
They got to eat a three-course meal (with no utensils,
just as in the Medieval Era) while watching professional
jousters put on a fantastic show.”

In addition to these activities, students toured the To-

gave a performance beneath a breathtaking crystalline
sculpture. After their performance, they had dinner at
the Toronto Hard Rock Cafe and were privileged to
hear a phenomenal concert by the Toronto Symphony
Orchestra.

They also traveled to York University, where Profes-
