and give the gift of freedom.
Sometimes we just need an excuse to get away — a reason to stop, take a breath
and enjoy the moment. A Go Resorting gift certificate opens the door to over 100
resorts and inns across Ontario. It’s a passport to a romantic rendezvous in
a charming inn tucked away in the pines, a kickstart to a family get together in
a year-round resort, or just a way of saying ‘thank you’ to an employee.
It’s the freedom to say ‘I’m taking off for the weekend’.

She left the city
2 hours ago
but it has taken her
whole life to get here
Her leap lasted forever it seemed. Floating above the water,
anticipating cold. She clutched her knees, clenched her shoulders.
Toes touching first. Then silence, as the cool washed over her.
Then breaking the surface she emerged. New. Refreshed. Ready.
The city is a lifetime away at
