People walking along the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail in Oshawa can now explore a new interactive experience.
Those walking along the trail in Oshawa can use their smartphone cameras to scan Quick Response (QR) codes placed on signage to learn about the various parks, points of interest, and amenities on the trail, while also using a navigation guide to link to other points of interest along the way.

Best known as an architect, interior designer and landscape designer who has brought to life over 200 resorts, hotels and palaces in more than 30 countries, few may know that Bill Bensley is also an artist.
