Now in its second year. Ontario‘s “We Treat You Royally“ program is having good results. according to Industry and Tourism Minister Larry Grossman. More than a slogan. the program runs courses in the basics of good hosting. like having a ready smile. dealing with the un- pleasant tourist politely. and being proud to let others enjoy Ontario. Mr. Grossman, who is a cheerful charactef himself. pointed out at a recent Ontario Place press Conference that tourism is Ontario‘s second largest industry. but needs the help of every citizen to keep the business flowing. By ANNE WANSTALL 0 TRAVEL EDITOR It wasn't so long ago that Canadians from other provinces thought of Cape Breton as one huge mining area. frequently struck down by underground tragedy and depression times. This notion was rein- forced by business lravellers whose only sight of Cape Breton was from a hotel room in one of the least attractive of Canadian cities. Sydney. Cayuga 11 will cross Lake Ontario. between Toronto and Niagaraâ€"on- the-Lake. June 15 through Labor Day. There will be two trips daily each way with seats reserved under a computer system. Fare is $6.50 each way. Going with one and returning with the next gives enough time to explore Niagara-on-the-Lake and see the lunchtime theatre (not the Shaw as yet) in a SYDNEY, N.S. â€" You don’l hear talk of separation in this part of Canada, but Cape Bretoners lend to feel they belong to a province within a province and prefer to be called Cape Bretoners rather than Nova Scotians.

It‘s deadly dull. rather grubby, virtually devoid of culture, and has only one ameliorating circums- tance â€"~ it is the gateway to the spectacular beauty of the Cabot Trail and more attractions than anyone can possibly cope with during a week's vacation.

Your next problem is more easily solved ~â€" what to do on your vacation Nova Scotia is a delightful province and Cape Breton has more attractions. natural and man-made. than almost anywhere else in Canada. First thoughts naturally swing towards the rolling surf that beats against Cape Breton‘s shores. The terrain is very much like that of the Scottish highlands, but the weather is generally better. There are times when you can have a sandy inlet all to yourself. using the rugged rocks as a backrest. There's 180 miles of scenic driving along the (‘ape Breton route, all marked and mostly on first»class roads. The (‘ape Breton Tourist Office in Sydney can provide you with maps and information on where to stay. but don‘t take the route too quickly because there‘s more than scenery to see. Reservations can be made ahead of departure by calling 1-800565-7105. It‘s a toll free number, computerized reservation system for all of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brun- swick. For‘l Louisbourg. reconstructed under a federal grant by miners forced out of work a decade ago is an absolute must for anyone finding themselves within 100 miles of the historic monument. The small town where time stands still in the mid~18th century, puts the visitor into the ghost-like position of walking through the past without being seen. The “locals” ignore anyone not asking questions, carrying on with the day-to-day life of one of our earliest commercial cities that doubled as a fortress. Children love a trip down the mine, and at Glace‘ Bay, decked out in Village. The village shows the home life of the miners in the period 1850 to 1900 and includes a company store and gift shop a miner‘s outfit they can [our Ocean Deeps Colliery ang the Mi_x_1er‘s Other mines open to tourists in Cape Breton are Port Morien â€"â€" the reconstructed workings of the first coal mine in North America - and Princess Colliery Tourist mine.

Little more than one hour‘s drive out of Sydney is Baddeck, where Alexander Graham Bell spent many summers in the countryside that reminded him of his native Scotland.

McCurdy‘s flight in the Silver Dart (the first plane flight in the British Empire), the invention of the hydrofoil and the first experiments with solar energy. Baddeck is on the shore of a 450-square-mile inland sea. Bras d‘Or. whose unpolluted salt waters are a paradise for sailboat enthusiasts. There are many landing ramps around the sea. and boats can be rented or chartered. For in- formation contact the Cape Breton Tourist Association Information Centre at the Baddeck intersegtion on Route 205 and 105. Canoes can also be rented for trips along the inland waterways. With all that water around you‘d expect to find good fishing. The western shores are highly recommended for both salt and fresh water fish.

There's available ac- commodation all around Cape Breton, but it's often in private homes or in lodges‘. Rates are dreamlike to travellers conditioned by high prices, often going as low as $5 to $7 a night for each person. During the Second International Gathering of the Clans in July and August. most of the billed activities are taking place in Halifax.
