Niagara Falls and Lake Ontario feature in final talk of current series of Clitheroe based Trinity Travel Talks
Niagara Falls to the Atlantic Ocean is the subject of the next Trinity Travel Talks by Steuart and Anita Kellington.
It will take place on Friday, February 20, at Trinity Methodist Church and Community Hub in Clitheroe at 7-30pm. The final talk in the current series, a new series will begin in the autumn.
The long drive of nearly 2,000 miles took place over several weeks in summer. Steuart said “We flew into Toronto, collected a hire car and after a return visit to Niagara Falls, we drove along the shore of Lake Ontario to Kingston, the first capital of Canada. We then followed the St Lawrence River east for 800 miles, from its start in Kingston to Cap Gaspé at the very end of the huge estuary of the river.
"We made special visits to the Thousand Islands, the Rideau Canal, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec and the Gaspesie National Park.”
Anita said it was fascinating to see that people from different countries who emigrated to Canada over the years still wished to be identified with symbols from their homelands, adding: “ Sometimes it is with flags but more often by the name of their town or communities such as Hamilton, New Carlisle and Prescott. In Quebec province most of the names are in French and the French language is still commonly spoken.”
Admission is £5 (no tickets) including interval refreshments with net proceeds for the further enhancement of outreach activities at the church and hub. Brochures with full details of Trinity Travel Talks from Autumn 2026 will be available from Trinity Methodist Church and the Platform Gallery in Clitheroe in the autumn.
