The Village Travel Club

The Village Travel Club was formed by Grace-Ann Cambray when her father moved to Ina Grafton in 1997. The first tour was a Winery Tour and it was such a great success that Grace-Ann has continued on in her role as volunteer tour coordinator. Her background includes teaching geography at Seneca College for seven years, working as a research economist for the provincial government, and being a stay-at-home mom for 16 years. For the last ten years, Grace-Ann has been conducting educational tours for local school boards, but she finds her tours with seniors to be more rewarding.

Is The Village Travel Club for You?

  • Do you enjoy visiting new places and revisiting familiar haunts?
  • Do you like to sit back and relax and leave the driving to a professional?
  • Is fine dining one of life’s pleasures for you?
  • Do you enjoy good conversation and the company of pleasant people?
  • Do you want to stretch your travel dollar to its limit?

Yes………then The Village Travel Club is for YOU!

On a regular basis, happy travellers set off from NIGG Village on a new adventure - attend a theatre performance (e.g. Shaw Festival, Dryden Festival, Stratford Festival), go on a cruise, or travel the back roads on a mystery tour.

All our tours are by coach, include dining at unique restaurants, and are fully escorted by Grace-Ann.

For further information, contact the Administration Office.
