Not Ontario, just Toronto. :)=

Greg, distances are large here. It's like a two-day drive to Halifax from Toronto. Four or five days to the west coast. If you want to get a taste of down east (where your kind of music resides), when you're making your travel arrangements you might look into flying from ye Auld Countrie to Halifax or St John's (Newfoundland, not to be confused with Saint John, New Brunswick), spending a couple days, then on to Toronto.

For one thing, the Celtic Colours festival in Cape Breton will be winding down just before your specified date there. Look it up, it's a big deal.
