| In the evening, the group visited the newly named Rogers Centre, (formerly the Skydome) to enjoy a baseball match between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Seattle Mariners; an ideal way to round off the Toronto leg of the tour. |

This will be a free day to take in the many sites and sounds of Ottawa, Canada's capital city. The group had the opportunity to take in the atmosphere of this cosmopolitan city by enjoying such attractions as a boat trip along the Rideau Canal or simply unwinding in one of the areas many pavement café bars. A visit to the world famous Byward Market, together with a visit to one of Canada's most recognisable heritage sites, the Parliament buildings, was also highly recommended. |

Before the end of the game, the netball players had finished their tournament and had arrived to witness their fellow tourists claim victory against their hosts in what was an extremely enjoyable match. The whole touring party then travelled to Petrie Island, a local man made beach where Cumberland United laid on a BBQ for the entire touring party. I would like to pass on the thanks of Widnes & Runcorn 6th Form College and Burleigh Travel to Cumberland United Football Club for this gesture as it proved to be one of the highlights of the tour for many of the tourists. |
