  • Today we celebrate National Indigenous Peoples day. A day to recognize, the history, heritage, and diversity of First Nations, Inuit, and Metis peoples in Canada. . In Queenston Heights there is a touching and poignant monument that we visited recently (again) called: "Landscape of Nations" "It is a living memorial dedicated i to the contributions and sacrifices made by Six Nations and Native Allies on Queenston Heights and equally important throughout the war of 1812."🔸 . There is a beautiful turtle mosaic laid out in the concrete. A Two-Row Wampum belt design in the walkway. Statues of John Norton and John Brant stand on either side of the long boat entranceway which leads to the Memory Circle. The Six Nations and Native allies in the war of 1812 are all represented: - Onondaga - Tuscarora - Seneca - Cayuga - Oneida - Mohawk . "The Memorial inspires citizens to learn and acknowledge the critical role that Indigenous people played in the defense of this land and the ability of Canada to remain free." 🔸 . . . 🔸 @niagaraparks website
  • It is the sweetest day of the year... Today is National ButterTart Day. . We are on the quest to find the best butter tarts in Canada. If you love the deliciousness of the iconic Canadian treat, be sure to follow us on our #Buttertartquest. . Show your favourite butter tart baker some love by tagging them in the comments below, so we can discover new places for our quest and future #Roadtrips. . #buttertartday #buttertarts #nationalbuttertartday #Roguetrippers
  • Happy National #RoadTripDay. . At @rogue_trippers, we love a good road trip, and we can't wait until we can pack up our vehicle and hit the open road to explore more of this great country of ours. 🇨🇦 Without a doubt, one of our favourite things to do on a road trip is to search for amazing #Roadsideattractions along the way. Nick is always up for shenanigans, and his silliness makes for some fun travel photos. 📷 Here is just a small collection of the fun attractions we have visited along the way. 📍 Which Canadian #Roadsideattraction do you think we need to add to our future travel plans? . . . . #Tourismcounts #Canadiantravel #ExploreCanada #Roguetrippers
  • I am sure you know what today is... If you don't... I find your lack of awareness disturbing. . Today is #MaytheFourth... Or #StarwarsDay. 🌑 Full disclosure... I have never watched a single #StarWars movie (unless you count the spectacular Holiday special with Bea Arthur) until I met Nick, and he made me watch the first 6 in order shortly after the Sith (I mean 6th) was released. . In 2013, we went on a bit of road trip to Ottawa for the tulip festival, or so I thought. It turns out we went because there was an exhibit at the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum called "Star Wars Identities." It is an interactive exhibit exploring human identity, where you become immersed in the fantasy world created by George Lucas. It includes the many characters, props, costumes, and artwork from the Star Wars movie franchise. You create your own Star Wars character. As the exposition progresses, you not only explore your own identity but your fictional Star Wars hero's identity and the characters' personalities. . #Roguetrippers #maythefourthbewithyou
  • Today is International Chernobyl Disaster Remembrance Day.  . This year marks the 35th anniversary of the worst nuclear disaster in history.  . This holiday was created back in 2016 to teach people about the history of this incident, observe the consequences of what happened, and prevent future events from happening again. . A  couple of years ago, a traveller who visited the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone & Pripyat, shared their first-hand experiences of their visit with us. You can read their article which depicts some of the horror, the devastation, and environmental aftermath which still lingers to this day. . https://roguetrippers.com/chernobyl-nuclear-disaster-ghost-town/ . . #ChernobylDisasterRemembranceDay #chernobyl #Pripyat

  • Today is #NationalUnicornDay. 🦄 These legendary creatures have been capturing our imaginations for ages. They inspire thoughts of fantasy, beauty, enchantment, and magic. 🦄 Before the pandemic, we checked out the "Giants, Dragons, and Unicorns: the World of Mythical Creatures" exhibit at the #JosephBrantMuseum in @cityburlington The exhibit featured other mythical and fantastical creatures like mermaids and the Kraken, as well as dragons and giants. 🦄 #roguetrippers #unicorns
