Anything and everything goes in here... within reason.

No, I don't think the ride costs are included in the trip payment, unless there's a pass you can buy that allows you to get on all of them.
As for beavers, they'd have to have some guts to attack a large group of people. Looks like using my bassoon against those wouldn't be a great idea either (it's wooden).

Well, how do they react to bright red band uniforms?

I also live near Toronto and May is my birthday, the 14th, when are you going?
Well, I think 18F is like, 0C here, right?
Yo, there are NO beavers here in Ontario, believe me.
You will not need Canadian money. You just go to a regular store and ask them to convert the money to Canadian money, if you want to. You can still use USA money.
Here is the chart for average highs:
January: -10 - -20
February: -10 - -15
March: -1 to 10
April: 5 to 15
May: 15 to 20
June: 20 to 25
July: 20 to 30 (Highest can get up to 42)
August: 20 to 30
September: 15 to 20
October: 10 to 15
November: 0 to 5
December: -5 to 0
Then theres humidity, smog and heat waves that can last for days.

You'll also want to remember to bring something comfy and layerable to sleep in. You'll probably have group accomodations, and there will always be someone hotter or colder than you are who will complain until you adjust the heat/air conditioning to suit their preference.
Have a great trip!

You should be ok with your band uniforms, but the basoon fighting won't work. Yeah, you can buy a day pass for rides and it is probably $20, but that may already be covered since you are allowed in the park. Also when you are at the park make sure you buy a funnel cake. They are too die for!

I don't know about Toronto, but there are beavers in Ontario.
Maybe not where she's going, but beavers live all over Canada and the US.

As Ahoteinrun said already, as well as Ammer, USD is
not legal tender is Canada, stores wont accept it because it's useless here. At Wonderland, however, there may be currency convertors.
And there
are Beavers in Ontario, yes, in Brampton as well. Have you ever been to Fletchers Creek? That whole forested area has tonnes of beavers. Professor's Lake, the forest areas in the hills across of chingousey(sp). PLENTY.
As well, the forests surrounding Wonderland has beavers. You just need to look to find them.
You really need to look up stuff about Brampton man, might as well know the city if you live here.

Nice, I'm not the only one who is addicted!

Ok, stuff for hotel, buy funnel cake, and more about beavers. Why do beavers specifically hate green? Just about every plant has some green color in it...do they think you're a tree when you're wearing green?
Also, I've heard that all of the places we're going will accept USD, or at least convert it. So I should be fine.
Oh, I'm going first week of May, Pokemon Kid. That's when I should be going anyway.
Mon Mar 14, 2005 8:28 pm
Maybe beavers are like bulls and colour blind? The only colour bulls can see is red and that's why it sets them off.

Tourist places like Canada's Wonderland have currency conversion but if you guys are let loose upon somewhere in the Toronto downtown core, you'll have trouble converting except at certain intersections (bloor/yonge or front street) so try to have about 10$ in cash just for small things like pop or chips or something.
What places are you visiting?
Don't be so sure about the weather in may, we might be having a late winter..

It's still snowing in Toronto right now. (Not this exact second, but last night, the night before, etc) Worry about the weather closer to the event.

I know we won't be let loose into the city. Too many of us would get lost.

I know we're going to see the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, we're going to Canada's Wonderland, we're going to the Hard Rock Cafe in Toronto, and that's all I can think of right now.

You're right! At Fletcher's Creek there are. Not many though. Most of them died.

About the USD issue- some stores in Canada accept it, but not all. However, they come up with their own conversion rates, pretty much all of which they would benefit from. Just look for the "We accept American money" signs with the little changeable numbers on them beside counters. They're generally found in convenience stores and such (at least in BC...), so don't expect them everywhere. Go for it if you have to, but try to stick with our not-so-green-except-the-twenty currency instead. :D

personally i'd change some money over. you can always change it back when you get home.
and we have beavers! at least where i live in ottawa... they are always trying to cross the road silly things.
and it might still be snowing when you get here... its rather unpredictable!
