"I can tell how hard they work for this." Long-time Burloak athlete Jamie Andison, a Pan Am Games participant in 2007, said Toronto 2015 is providing valuable experiences for many area youth. "Whether (kids') goals are to go to the Olympics down the line for be an athlete for a long time, (the Games) are a means to get them inspired," said Andison, 29.

McTavish Travel Ranked as one of the top destinations in the world by TripAdvisor, Peru has long been a dream destination for many seasoned travellers. Insight has introduced a new "Luxury Gold" itinerary called Treasures of the Incas ­ a Peruvian journey into the mysterious world of the Inca. The world of the Inca Empire is played out on this 12-day stylish exploration of Peru ­ a truly diverse country with 11 eco regions and 84 of the 117 life zones that exist worldwide. Starting in the capital of Lima, gourmands will enjoy lunch in Amor Amar ­ a hidden gem in the bohemian district of Barranco that serves classic Peruvian dishes with a touch of the Mediterranean. Guests are also treated to dinner at one of Peru's top restaurants, La Huaca Pucllana where chefs Marilu Madueno and Andrea Massaro serve their take on "new Andean" cuisine ­ while patrons dine overlooking the illuminated ruins of a 1,500 year old pre-Inca pyramid. From there, travellers board a flight to Cusco ­ a UNESCO World heritage site known by the Incas as the "Sacred City" ­ where a drive down to Peru's Sacred Valley of the Incas is sure to captivate the senses. Stretching between the former capital of one of the main pre-Columbian empires, the Tahuantinsuyo, and the legendary city of Machu-Picchu, lies what was once the fertile homeland of the Inca Empire. After exploring the ruins of Machu Picchu with a local expert, guests board the award-winning Andean Explorer that traverses between mountains, clouds and highlands. On this 10-hour journey to Lake Titicaca and Puno, the Orient-Express style train takes passengers back in time to the bygone era of glamorous train travel. Upon arrival in Lake Titicaca, guests cruise the most sacred lake in the Incan civilization, to the floating island of Uros, where they will meet the native Kotsuna (lake people) as a Signature Experience. The first departure for Treasures of the Incas is scheduled for 26FEB16, and travellers can take advantage of early booking savings when booking and paying early ­ 10% savings by paying in full before 19NOV15.
