CANADIAN NATIONAL EXHIBITION-TORONTO ONTARIO CANADA 2014

The Canadian National Exhibition celebrated 135 years. 65 years of an Annual Air Show. Beginning as Toronto Industrial Exhibition, it remains one of the top 10 Agricultural fairs in North America. Since we are commemorating the start of World War One, it served a s military and training camp for 15th Battery of the Canadian Field Artillery during the war-1914-1918.
The CNE has always been a fun place to go. Situated on Lake Ontario near the waterfront, it has brought generations of Canadians to its events.
From entering at the Princes Gate


to the many food stands

to rides,


to capturing famous landmarks like the CN Tower in pictures,
to the many signs that help find our way,
to the colourful variety of painted Muskoka chairs found everywhere,
to the FARM building with activities and pens of farm animals for children and adults to learn about our many farm activities,
the EX has something for everyone. Spending 6 hours of a Saturday with one daughter and her family, it was a wonderful time. The Air Show was on. The roar of the jets could be heard everywhere.
Difficult to try to see everything in one day but fun trying to get in as much as possible. Labour Day is the last day. Been to the EX lately!!
