    Flowerpot Island is a ferry ride away from Tobermory. Upon docking at Beachy Cove, there's a map of…read morethe island, the hiking trails available, and what the highlights of the island are. We took the Loop Trail more or less along the shoreline to see the small and large flowerpots. This is the Easy Trail. There are picnic tables along the trail. The next stop was up a few flights of stairs to see the cave. Then onwards to the light station and lightkeeper's cottages. Unfortunately, we went during shoulder season (not during summer), and the cottages were closed for the season. There are many Muskoka chairs there to sit on and take in the beautiful scenery. Instead of backtracking along the same trail, we decided to continue the Loop Trail through the interior portion of the island. This is considered the Difficult Trail. It's described as rugged on the Parks Canada website (https://parks.canada.ca/amnc-nmca/on/fathomfive/activ/flowerpot) and there were definitely lots of huge rocks directly in the trail path and steeper sections with lots of stairs. Just before getting back to Beachy Cove, there's a Moderate Trail (Marl Trail). There are six campsites available on the island, and they have tent platforms. The campsites are spaced decently apart, so there is privacy from one another.

    Takes a bit of planning ahead to catch a ferry ride here, but once you arrive, exploring this…read moreisland is pretty self-explanatory. Most people take the Loop Trail hugging the coastline to and from the Lightstation. If you walk with purpose, you'll be able to go out and back within an hour. There's also plenty of places along the coast to rest and admire the rock pillars and the water.

    This location does nothing to put an end to the stereotypes about government employees and…read morecontractors. Although I was born in Ontario, lived here all my life, and meet the requirements for an OHIP card, I cannot have one according to this office. I have never been treated so rudely in my life. I appreciate that it's a difficult job, however I was dismissed and laughed at at this location. I bought a semi-detached home, built as a semi-detached home in 1986, however because their system doesn't recognize my address, they will not issue me an OHIP card. My drivers license was generated without issue, however because my address isn't "liked" by their system, I no longer get a new health card. I politely suggested they open a ticket with, for example, an IT department, or escalate my issue to someone who could help. This was met with sarcasm, smirking, and dismissiveness. Staff was unwilling to do anything to attempt to rectify the fact that their "system" was incorrect. "How then, may I obtain an OHIP card?", my follow up question, was met with shrugging and more sarcasm. I had to contact my MPP to assist. These people do not care, take no pride in their work, have no answers, and cannot escalate their own issues. Many Service Ontario locations are private contractors, not actually Service Ontario. You can phone Service Ontario to find an actual government-run office at 1-800-268-7095. I suggest going out of your way to attend one in person.

    Bunch of incompetent, uncaring front line sheeps in the Lexington Road, Waterloo office. Like who…read moresupervises these people and manages the location? Went last week and the "service" person almost charged me twice for the Drivers License renewal fee until I stopped her. She also issued me a temporary OHIP card with incorrect information. Returned this week to have that corrected and was immediately and rudely told by another front line rep there is nothing she can do as per Head Office. Instead of making sure if she was actually correct she kept being argumentative with me. She finally called head office and turned out she was wrong and she could in fact fix the information. Not even an apology from her. Such great quality of service! SMH.
