Outdoors, in nature, surprises are inevitable — and that’s the beauty of it
As someone who often feels a need to control things around me, spending time outside forces me to let go, writes reporter Lex Harvey

The first (and only) time my parents sent me to sleepaway camp, I cried for two weeks straight.
I was 12 and a serious homebody — and admittedly a bit of a drama queen.
Driving up the gravel road to the canoe-tripping camp I was set to attend in Ontario’s Algonquin Highlands, I moodily stared out the window, Train’s Drops of Jupiter in my headphones, willing my parents to turn the car around and take me back home. To this day, that song still makes me a little emotional.
For practically the full 14 days in July, while the other kids swam in the lake and roasted marshmallows, I sulked and wrote letters home begging for my parents to come pick me up.
My mum can’t recall the specifics of those letters, but she said the central message “was that we had to come and get you RIGHT NOW.” My dad remembers one note including the zinger: “Why would you do this to me?”
Thankfully, there was a mail strike that summer, so none of my laments made it home in time.
Instead, my dad said he remembers what a big smile I had on my face when he picked me up, gushing about the new friends I had made and showing off a canoe paddle they had all signed for me.
The harrowing letters continued to arrive for about a week after I got home.

Weekend road closures in High Park have had 'positive impact,' majority say in city survey
City consulting residents as part of its High Park Movement Strategy
The city is studying how travel to, from and within High Park can be improved. The online survey results, recently released, are part of a first round of public consultation on what it calls its High Park Movement Strategy.
"The idea of the strategy is really to gather public feedback, understand the way that people use the travel network within the park and really to look at how we can improve safety, reduce traffic speed, support a number of different uses of the park and really make the best decisions around vehicle access, around pedestrian safety," said Jane Arbour, manager of stakeholder relations and issues management for the city's Parks, Forestry and Recreation Department.
