After an inspiring first visit, Ontario 360° Tours is heading back to Burlington in May, 2025 — this time to dive even deeper into the city’s spirit, history, and vibrant community life.

Ontario 360° Tours sets out with a simple but powerful mission: to help communities showcase the places that make them unique. Through a series of immersive 360° videos, they shine a spotlight on the parks, waterfronts, small businesses, and local landmarks that tell a town’s true story. While these videos help boost tourism, their deeper passion lies in helping residents reconnect with the places they call home — and rediscover the gems that have been there all along.

Time and time again, the Ontario 360° Tours team hears a familiar theme: shop owners surprised that many locals have never stepped inside, or longtime residents amazed to find hidden treasures in their own backyard. It’s these overlooked favorites — the coffee shops tucked away, the beautiful parks just off the beaten path — that Ontario 360° Tours loves to bring into focus for the world to see.

Ontario 360° Tours creates narrated, high-quality 360° videos that let people explore towns, businesses, parks, and attractions across Ontario virtually before visiting in person. Their multilingual platform makes it easy for a broader audience to discover and appreciate these incredible communities.

This trip to Burlington holds extra meaning for co-founder Dave Flook. Having grown up in Burlington, this visit is like stepping back in time — returning to places that shaped his youth, like the beloved local theatre on Brant Street where he watched countless movies. For Dave, this is more than just a project — it’s a heartfelt opportunity to give back to a city that helped shape who he is today. Their first visit only scratched the surface, and this time, Dave is eager to capture even more of the Burlington he knows and loves.

One of the special features will be a dedicated 360° video of Spencer Smith Park — a waterfront jewel where many family memories were made, and a cornerstone of Burlington’s vibrant community life.

Ontario 360° Tours isn’t just about making videos — it’s about bringing local pride back to the forefront. By capturing the heartbeat of Ontario’s towns and cities, they hope to remind residents why they fell in love with their hometowns in the first place. It’s about celebrating the spirit of community, championing small businesses, and encouraging a renewed appreciation for the stories and landmarks that make each place truly one-of-a-kind.

If you see the Ontario 360° Tours team out and about in Burlington in May, be sure to stop by and say hello!

Better yet, swap a few fun stories with Dave — he’d love to hear your favorite Burlington memories and take a trip down memory lane with you. Whether you’re a lifelong resident or new to town, your stories help paint the bigger picture of what makes Burlington such a special place.
