Canada AM: Indoor Activities to try out on Family Day or March Break
From canadaam.ctvnews.ca:
Escape Game
Location: We tried out the Casa Loma Escape Series. Escape games have become a big trend and there are many locations popping up across the country. This one is unique because it’s set inside historic Casa Loma.
What they have to offer: Casa Loma currently has two escape games and two more are in the works.
They are interactive puzzles where the participants have to work together to solve a series of clues in order to “escape” the room.
Age ranges: The games are recommended only for those over 13 years of age. Everyone under 16 years old must be accompanied by an adult.
How the Canada AM team enjoyed it: The game we played was called ‘Escape from The Tower’ and took place over four levels connected by spiral staircases.
Some of the puzzles were tricky, but they were all achievable. There were actors to guide us through the game, and they would also offer hints when necessary. It’s a great teambuilding activity because you really do have to work together.

Canada AM: Indoor Activities to try out on Family Day or March Break
From CanadaAM.ctvnews.ca:
Archery Tag
Location: Canada AM staff visited Archers Arena in Toronto. There are various other archery tag facilities in many cities across Canada.
What they have to offer: If you’re a fan of “The Hunger Games” and have been dying to try out some moves like Katniss Everdeen, this might be the place for you. They have a shooting range where you can learn how to use a bow and arrow, before you move on to some combat archery.
In combat archery, dodgeball rules apply, but instead of a ball, you had a bow and arrow. Don’t worry, the arrows have foam tips.
Age ranges: Archers Arena accepts children as young as 10 for private games.
How the Canada AM team enjoyed it: Everyone on the AM team enjoyed target practice and learning how to properly use a bow and arrow. Combat archery was an interesting experience, as most of us had never tried it before. There were some talented archers amongst our staff, as well as a few who felt very intimidated!

Got a great New Years gift from the folks at “Canada AM” today.
For as long as I can remember Canada AM has been the soundtrack to my morning. When I was a kid my parents relied on Carole Taylor, Percy Saltzman, Helen Hutchinson and Norm Perry to start their mornings. I grew up watching and listening to those people. In our 1970s two channel universe they linked us in Nova Scotia to the rest of Canada and the world.
Every Friday for the last eleven years I have chatted with either Beverly Thomson, Marci Ien, Jeff Hutcheson or Seamus O’Regan (before he left to become King of Newfoundland) about movies. They always make me feel at home, welcoming me into the Canada AM family.
Today, instead of sitting at my usual seat at the coffee bar, I was invited to sit at the desk. The iconic desk. It’s like being asked to bang Judge Judy’s gavel or dribble Meadowlark Lemon’s basketball. For the last half hour of the show (from 8:30 to 9) I was thrilled to sit alongside Marci and Anwar Knight on the final show of 2015. I talked, listened, laughed and even ate some champagne jello. It was a great way to spend the morning and I’m happy and honoured they entrusted me with use of the middle chair today. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
