This meeting could have been a day at Parkwood
Don't let their email find you. Set your OOO and wander around Parkwood National Historic Site. Take a deep breath among the gardens, and count how many movie scenes you recognize. Have a long lunch at the teahouse or follow up your visit with Indian-Mexican fusion. Extend your visit with treasure hunting at record and comic book stores. Wrap the day with refreshments in a venue that The Supremes once played.

Put the ‘OOO’ in Out of Office at Thermëa Spa Village
Maybe you need a day to show up for yourself? Block the day for Thermëa Spa Village in Whitby. Completely unplug with a cold plunge. Rest in a hammock. Don’t answer any emails. Round out the time away from your desk with a dinner at Thermëa's on-site farm-to-table restaurant. We recommend booking your visit to Thermëa in advance.

Circle Back…to a bike ride along the Waterfront Trail
Put a pin it. All of it. Plan for a day on two wheels cruising along Lake Ontario’s shores. Start with a visit to an old school diner, before hitting the pavement to cycle 25 kilometers along the Lakeshore Trail. We're suggesting little rewards along the way like a visit to Falcon Brewery, pizza from Lowland’s Fire Food’s wood-fired oven, and Town Brewery’s Pump House beer garden.
