Get Moving!

The Brock Trail is the perfect place to explore nature within the city. Walk, run, or cycle on this trail. Pay attention to your surroundings, trees will be budding, blooms will be popping up and the birds will be singing. What are you waiting for? Grab your wellies and go.

Have Afternoon Tea and Cosie’s!

Have afternoon tea at Cosies British Tea Room. Whether it’s their signature pasties, traditional scones, jam and clotted cream or their fresh baked rolls (aka baps) with delicious fillings, Cosie’s will give you the very best experience of an authentic British Tea Room.

Go Ship Watching!

One sure sign of Spring is when the CCGS Martha L. Black, the Canadian Coast Guards icebreaker passes through along the St. Lawrence River. This means that the shipping season has begun. Blockhouse Island is the perfect spot to watch passing ships go by. To learn more about the vessels and the schedule of when they will pass through Brockville visit: https://ais.boatnerd.com/

Visit the Aquatarium!

The AQ offers a full range of exhibits for all ages as guests are encouraged to experience life in the 1000 Islands region. Visitors will see many species of land and aquatic animals, such as River Otters, North American Beaver and over 50 species of fish native to the St. Lawrence River.
