![]() [quote=Scav;667665]The whole Canadian money thing is gonna be comedy for me though. Never held another currency before. I know you can exchange US to Canadian at the track, but can they give you US funds for your Canadian when you are done?[/QUOT
Be careful with the money. They have coins forth at least $5. Maybe more. The first time was in Toronto a group of us left all the coins plus a normal size tip with bills. The bartender was so nice to us when we left, we figured it out a little later that we had left a tip of about 120%. So look at the coins before you leave a pile of them on the bar. |

![]() Do not exchange money at the track....you will get ripped off and pay a premium for the conversion.
Canadian currency has a $2 coin and a $1 coin....the lowest bill is a $5....... Coach...that poutine is a Quebec thing! We in Ontario have different ways to get our cholesterol levels flying.......

![]() Not so much a Canadian tradition as specifically a Quebecois specialty.
POUTINE.. Springy cheddar cheese curds on fresh cuts fries covered with a unique topping which is more sauce than gravy. It's obscene.

![]() I think I ate in the Northern Dancer dining room.. but I toured the whole facility (Favourites is nice.. you will have a good time) and it may be the best race track (as far as facilities) going. Its very nice and they (management) do a wonderful job @ Woodbine.
Enjoy.. though I'm bummed you wont be at Churchill as I am thinking of making an appearance.

(Don't plan to be able to sit at a table though unless you're willing to play $500 minimum black jack.)
