The Shrine honors the Jesuit saints Jean de Brébeuf, Gabriel Lalemant, and their 6 other companions who were responsible for bringing Christianity to Canada over 350 years ago!
Upon reaching the place, you will experience stillness and tranquility. It was worth the 2 1/2 drive from Scarborough. Aside from the church/shrine, it has a 75 acre beautifully landscaped grounds and picnic tables. Recently, I heard a hostel is now available for overnight staying visitors.
