As many of you know me by now, I am ALWAYS on the MOVE. This week, I am driving the 2021 Honda Civic Sport Touring hatchback to roam around different places in Ontario.
And as part of my travel segment “Ontario Travel Series“, check out the places and photos that I have visited and explored while driving this Honda Civic Sport Touring 5dr hatchback. Perhaps my visit to these places/events will give you inspiration to explore and experience yourself with your loved ones! Enjoy!
The 2021 Honda Civic hatchback was provided by Honda Canada so that I can be On the MOVE to explore Ontario. However, as always, the opinions expressed in this post is entirely my own.
First up, let’s check out the city of Mississauga. What better way to miss the Civic Centre with the 2021 Honda Civic. LOL. I know, I know, play on words, it’s lame, but hey, it works!
