Spend the 29th (Sat) exploring nature at Point Pelee National Park. There's still lots to do: do a tasting at Viewpointe Estate Winery, contemplate the long history of Fort Malden National Historic Site, don't miss a visit to Amherstburg Navy Yard National Historic Site, and walk around Seacliff Park.
