I would like to know the font/type used at the following address
http://www.savourontario.ca/
for the copy which says, "Savour Ontario ~ culinary vacations ~"...the
font is also used throughout the site for headlines but it always
exists as an image file.  The font is also used at
http://www.savourontario.ca/html/packages/streams_ai.cfm
with the copy "Ambient Indulgence"...the site continually uses this
font throughout.

The second part of my question is similiar but with another product
company...what font does Ilford,
http://www.ilford.com/html/us_english/homeng.html , use throughout
it's website as it's dominant font, type...the copy on the main page
is "ILFORD YOUR PARTNERS IN IMAGING".

Thank you,

Jason Michael

Greetings jasonmichael!

The ILFORD appears to be a Future Bold font.   Use the following two
links to view "ILFORD" in each type.

"Futura Extra Bold font":
http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/futura/extra-bold/?s=ILFORD
Futura P Extra Bold font":
http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/urw/futura/extra-bold/?s=ILFORD

The text under Ilford ("Your Partners In Imaging) is, I believe, is
either "Futura Medium Rounded" or "Futura Book."

"Futura Medium Rounded font""
http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/urw/futura/medium-rounded/?s=YOUR+PARTNERS+IN+IMAGING
"Futura Book font""
http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/bitstream/futura/book/?s=YOUR+PARTNERS+IN+IMAGING

Lastly, the "Ambient Indulgence" font is a variation of Schneidler. 
Both of the following are quite similar:
"Schneidler Mediaeval T Regular"
http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/urw/schneidler/mediaeval-t-regular/?s=Ambient+Indulgence
"Schneidler EF Roman"
http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/ef/schneidler/ef-roman/?s=Ambient+Indulgence

If you feel that these are not the correct types/fonts, please let me
know before issuing a rating and I will be glad to further research
this question.  If possible, please point to other pages that have
larger versions of the fonts.  Also, please include any additional
information that may help identify the font.   I hope this information
is helpful.

Also, the following site can sometimes be useful for identifying a
font, but it helps to have many letters from the font:
"Identify a font":
