July Links

Each month, the Rose Garden will recommend four world wide web links. These links are categorized as follows:
  • Link of the month
  • Hamilton Ontario link
  • Children's link
  • World Issue link

Link of the Month: Prince Edward Island

My favourite beaches are in Prince Edward Island. The official PEI web site allows you to do a little armchair travelling. It offers a complete run-down of attractions, tours, accommodation, dining and beaches. A beautiful series of aerial photos highlight PEI's magnificent scenery. The site also offers greeting cards, screen savers and wallpaper. You can even tour Green Gables using Quick Time VR.

Hamilton, Ontario Link: Cultural Landmarks

Too rainy to visit the beach? There's plenty to do in Hamilton. This site contains a description of museums, heritage sites, conservation areas, art galleries and major sports facilities in the Region of Hamilton- Went worth. A clickable map is included so you can pinpoint the geographical location of each landmark.

Children's Link: KidChef

KidChef -where kids rule the kitchen! A list of favorite kids recipes with easy instructions for kids to follow. Quizes, cooking news and discussion of unusual foods as well as food traditions from around the world.

World Issue Link: Oceans in Peril

This site is part of the "Ocean Planet" exhibition created for the Smithsonian Museum. It highlights issues ranging from pollution and alien species to habitat destruction and over-fishing. All topics are well illustrated and are linked to more extensive scientific articles.
