The free 60-minute live tour of Uncle Tom’s Cabin Historic Site brings the history of the Underground Railroad to life. The live-streaming experience incorporates a tour of the museum and two-hectare (five-acre) property, including the Interpretive Centre, three historical buildings – including the Josiah Henson House – a sawmill, two cemeteries and numerous artifacts that have been preserved as a legacy to those freedom seekers.

A brief question-and-answer session will follow each tour.

If you’re an aviation fan you can now get up close to aircraft coming and going from London International Airport.

The airport is opening the city’s first public plane spotting park. Residents can get a front row seat in their vehicles to runway 15-33, the most used take off and landing strip at the airport. There’s also signage to inform visitors on the types of planes that use the airport.

There is no charge to use the YXU Air Park.

London is home to a bustling aviation community, and countless aircraft enthusiasts (we’re home of North America’s Best Airshow after all😉).

We wanted to create a place for families and plane spotters to fuel their aviation passion. #YXUAirPark pic.twitter.com/jCR7Y0TDd9
