HAHA you are going to love this, I'm actually going up there to do some missionary-type work. There is a missionary in Montreal that our church supports. I am going to help their church start a private school (I'm a teacher). As I mentioned earlier, it's probably a good thing for me to be getting out of the public school system! How far away from Montreal is Ontario?

Going to the "City of Churches" (sorry, old nickname) for missionary work?
Montreal to Quebec City or Ottawa are nice passable day (if you leave early enough) or weekend trips... both are a blast during the summer. If your in Ottawa during July, look into the Government's Experimental Farm across the canal from Carleton - should be Tulip Festival; the Market's always busy... and of course check out the Changing of the Guard and the Governor General's House (I used to be one of the guys in the red jacket and black fur hat
) - if you go to the GG's take the time to wander the grounds and toru the house - don't just stop at the gate and take pictures of the Guards or the PM's house across the street. Quebec City during the summer is also great - stick to the Old City and you'll feel like your in Northern France - with the language, architecture, art & antique chops, cafes, and relaxed attitude.
One thing to get used to in Canada is that everyone discusses distance in time not actual distance - driving, flight, train, walking, etc. (as evidenced by Lady Pi Phi's answer)
Finally come dressed for the heat - the summer is hot up here too... and can be very humid.
