If you find yourself getting excited at the thought of hunting for chocolate eggs, the Easter long weekend marks a perfect opportunity to connect with your inner child. Whether you\u2019re dreaming of meeting the Easter bunny or looking forward to a sumptuous and upscale lunch, here are the top Easter events across Canada to enjoy this year.<\/p>\n

Easter Brunch at Casa Loma, Toronto, March 27:<\/a> <\/strong>Constructed between 1911 and 1914 and originally designed as a home for the wealthy Sir Henry Mill Pellatt, Casa Loma is known for its breathtaking architecture and scenery. For a change from the usual whimsical activities which usually mark the Easter weekend, try heading to Toronto\u2019s very own castle for a festive meal. Visitors can tuck into brunch fare created with local ingredients, sip on prosecco and mimosas and take a stroll through the luxurious castle grounds.<\/p>\n
