Calling all Ontario teachers: You could win a trip to London! Just join the contest hosted by the Ontario College of Teachers (OCT).
Explorica has always supported the OCT, and over the past 15 years, we have worked together on a number of projects. This year, we’re sponsoring their contest for teachers to win a trip to London!
OCT has developed an app that allows teachers to carry out transactions and services while on the go. Available in both English and French, the app provides a one-stop spot to manage all of your OCT membership benefits. If you download the app by November 30, you’ll be entered into a contest to win a 5-night trip to London for two!
If you’ve never been to the great city of London, you must add it to your bucket list. With an endless collection of museums, monuments and theatres…there is something for everyone. Most of us are familiar with the city’s top attractions like Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, and the River Thames. But if you’re looking for a more unusual London experience, why not try one of these hidden gems recommended by Visit London, the city’s official visitor’s guide.
The Upper Deck Cafe at the HMS Belfast
With stunning views of the Thames, the Upper Deck Cafe is free to enter. Or, you could go ahead and combine it with your visit to the historic HMS Belfast!

Thames Barrier
Comprised of 10 steel gates and standing five storeys high, the Thames Barrier was completed in 1982. Created to prevent floods, this beautiful piece of engineering brilliantly combines form and function. It also makes a great addition to your visit to the Thames.

If you’d like to learn more about travelling London with your school, visit Explorica’s extensive collection of tours to the U.K., and by next March you could be exploring one of the greatest cities in the world. And remember, teachers always travel free!
Mark it on your calendar!
You have until November 30 to download the app and enter the contest.
Best of luck!
