Many of our guests remark that staying at the Edge is a sort of gourmet experience. How to share the richness of the experience of being at Northern Edge Algonquin on the internet has always been a challenge.

Imagine singing Tibetan and Canadian Songs while paddling canoes with berobed Tibetan Monks, learning polyphonic chanting or [...]
