We believe that everybody who visits Ontario as a tourist will enjoy shopping to take something home - either as a gift for friends, as a souvenir or because he gets a bargain.
Our intention is not to replace the yellow pages. That is not the purpose of our travel guide. We want to attract visitors to our beautiful province.
Being from Germany, I will only show a few things which may attract Europeans and visitors from overseas. Certainly Canadians and Americans already know what is being offered in Ontario. I hope our shopping tips will help you.
Whenever, you purchase something which you want to take home - please keep all the receipts. You can claim a tax return when you leave our country! Get the respective actual information when you arrive.
We had visitors from Germany who purchased a full size, VIP equipped van here or took back computer equipment. Others purchased in Toronto in a good store Swiss made watches. I will not comment on this. You must make the decision.
We only show you what you should see during your holidays and what we think should be considered to be taken home to remember your time in our province or to make friends happy.
Naturally, many things which are offered here are imported. You may find the same articles in many countries. Please be always careful - especially when you purchase souvenirs. Many of them are not made here! this applies even for some "Native Art".
