Above, a group of seniors from the Richwood Civic Center recently spent a week in Canada visiting sites like the waterfalls of Niagara Falls and Casa Loma, a Gothic-revival castle in Midtown, Toronto. Casa Loma is currently doing a Legends of Horror Halloween experience as October kicks off, with live characters, haunting installations and chilling scares throughout the grounds and tunnels under the castle. This month’s October mystery trip is scheduled for Oct. 20. (Photo submitted)
