A month-long celebration of the most wonderful time of the year!

Witness the winter beauty of the Kawarthas as Viamede transforms into a wonderland of holiday adventures and memories for all as we cherish traditions and embrace the Yule season for the entire month of December. Every weekend, the Viamede Elves stock the cookies and fill the hot chocolate mugs throughout the weekend to ring in the holidays. The only thing not included is an awkward family Christmas card.

Due to Covid 19, most of the Holiday activities we like to do won’t be able to be run this year. However, below is a list of ongoing fun that you can do throughout your stay to keep you in the Holiday spirit!

  • Brave the elements to track the Viamede Yetis. Find 3 of the 7 yetis and bring back photographic proof of your sightings for a prize. Legend has it, this is what he looks like.

  • Stop by the dining room to take a quick trip back to grandma’s kitchen to pick up your individual cookie decorating kits! These will be for preorder.

  • Swing by the lobby to decorate a stocking for each member of the family. Add your name and carefully hang it over the fireplace in the dining room. Check back Sunday morning to see if you made the nice list.

  • It’s never too late to tell Santa (or Toby) what you want for Christmas.  Write a letter and we promise we’ll hand-deliver it.

  • Grab a Hot chocolate from our served Hot chocolate bar served daily at 3 pm.

  • Skating on the ice rink on the lake
  • Snowshoeing or cross country skiing on the trials

Our amenities and recreation activities are complimentary with your stay.

Effective December 4, 2015

We at Viamede Resort value the privacy of all our guests and friends. That’s why in addition to a lock on the door of each guestroom, we have detailed how we use any information we receive.

Oh—and before we go any further—we’ll just let everyone know right off the bat that we comply with current Canadian privacy legislation.

1) What kind of information do we collect?

There are two different types of information that we collect: personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) and non-personally identifiable information (“Non-Personal Information”).

This might sounds complicated but it’s fairly straightforward.

Personal Information

We are a resort and people come visit, book rooms, and enjoy gourmet local food all of the time. As a result of these exchanges, we end up collecting some personal information—which is usually voluntarily given—that includes things like:

We take this information very seriously and only use it to facilitate your stay with us and to keep you in the loop should you wish.

Non-Personal Information

Through your interactions with us, our website and analytics platforms, and through our advertising partners, we may collect information that cannot be used to identify who you are. This type of information that may be collected are things like:

2) How do we collect information?

We collect this information in a few different ways.

When you provide us with information in making a purchase.
Fairly straightforward. You book a room, we receive personal information.

When you sign up to our e-mail list.
If you sign up to receive updates, we end up with a bit of your personal information. With your permission, we send you special information and you can decide to opt out at any point.

When you communicate with us.
When you reach out by e-mail, social media or by hand delivered letter, we may keep those for our records.

Information we automatically collect.
Like most websites, our services may incorporate fancy things like “pixel tags” and “cookies” which allow us to track actions and serve you information about our products and services. All of these collect Non-Personal Information.

3) How is the information used?

Personal Information could be used to:

4) What about Non-Personal Information?

From time to time, we use third-party advertising companies to serve you ads when you visit our website. They may use Non-Personal Information about your visits to this and other websites to provide ads about goods and services that are of interest to you. If you would like more information about this wizardry or to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies you can look here.

5) What else?

We want to make sure you enjoy your time with us and that your information is protected. Personal Information will only be used or shared when necessary and we would never sell you out by giving your information to third parties without good reason.

Unsurprisingly, we reserve the right to update our privacy policy at any time. When that happens, we will update the effective date at the top of this page so that you know.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. We hope to see you around soon.
