The rates are now as of today 18% better for US that means the 129.99 Room rate ONLY costs 103.55 for americans.. That is a good deal the way i see it. Hope to see many of your their and don't forget your FORDBARN BUTTONS!!!
Very well said and it is indeed very true ! Canada is known for our tremendous hospitality. Come and enjoy ! Wayne

Mark,
I agree that it's not that bad. I asked what the cost were for the Hotel for US funds and they said it was about $106 at the time... and sounds like it's even less now.
I'll be bringing my slant window sedan but have to get it whipped into shape yet.. and will be presenting the tool seminar as well. Looking forward to traveling with our group and seeing friends and folks we know from everywhere.
It will be a great time!

That's a nice area for touring.

We drove through that border a couple of years ago with a hire car and Aussie passports. From what I remember, they looked at our photos and we were off.

Credit cards will do most of the currency conversion.

Speed signs are in kph. If you are concerned .... set your GPS to kph instead of mph.

Enjoy.

Some that are attending the MARC National Meet in Niagara Falls, are going a day early to the "Fords in the Park" event in Milton, Ontario on June 20th.

There will be tour from there to the MARC meet the morning of June 21st.

Looking forward to seeing you Larry....

There are just so many FALSE rumors going around about Canada I had to make people aware of it, and how good it will be and easy to attend. Thanks Larry

Here's a quick (round numbers) conversion

KPH - MPH
100 - 60
90 - 55
80 - 50
70 - 40
60 - 35
50 - 30
40 - 25
30 - 20

Our club is going into Canada on the Western Front later this month. We will be in Whitehorse for the July 1 Parade.
