Martin Goodman Trail / The Wider Waterfront / Explore Projects / Waterfront Toronto
"Giving people more access to the waterfront is a key priority for Waterfront Toronto and it’s why we have made a number of improvements to the Martin Goodman Trail. Since 2005, Waterfront Toronto has completed several improvements and additions to the popular multi-use recreational trail. Improvements included the repair and maintenance to particularly bad sections of the trail, filling in gaps in the trail system, and adding an extension of the trail through a section of the Port Lands to improve public access to Tommy Thompson Park."

Hiking - Things to do in Ontario - Hunch
"Hiking is an outdoor activity which consists of walking in natural environments, often on hiking trails. The word hiking is understood in all English-speaking countries, but there are differences in usage of the term.
A set of customs and ettiquette have arisen around hiking. One goal of hiking is to observe the natural world: some hikers make an effort to minimize the environmental impact of their hiking. Another set of behaviors is designed to minimize the personal risk of hiking."

"If you can block out the distant din of traffic and glimpses of high-rises, there are spots along the Don River that could fool you into thinking it is wilderness.
But the omnipresent smell of sewage wafting from dozens of storm drain pipes and culverts that empty into the Don cannot be imagined away, a stinking reminder of the work still needed to clean it up.
We went for a canoe ride Sunday in the annual Paddle the Don event, sponsored by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and found stunning beauty along its meandering course, in contrast to the bleak iron shoring and multi-lane traffic along its lower stretch.
About 600 people in canoes and kayaks traversed 16 kilometres of the Don, from E.T. Seton Park, near Leslie St. and Eglinton Ave., to the Keating Channel, with some raising money for the Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto, to be used for river restoration projects.
The Don is normally so shallow that canoes couldn’t be used to navigate it; an upstream dam was opened to raise the water level allow enough to float the craft."

"The Liberal government’s preoccupation with saving electricity is undermining other energy conservation efforts, warns Environment Commissioner Gord Miller.
In a 70-page report released Monday – entitled Rethinking Energy Conservation In Ontario – that criticizes the province for not doing enough to encourage Ontarians to use less gasoline and other fuels, Miller said it is time for a policy revamp.
“The government’s approach to energy conservation is uncoordinated and improvised with no clear plan,” he said in a statement.
Miller said Queen’s Park needs to examine ways to conserve oil, propane, natural gas, and gasoline.
“We are too focused on electricity. We need a strategy that addresses conservation of all sources of energy,” he said."

"Sustainable urban agriculture: stocktake and opportunities
This paper reviews research on urban agriculture which relates to the three dimensions of sustainability: social, economic and environmental. We propose that urban agriculture has three elements: urban agriculture in isolation; its interface with the people and environment within which it is situated; and its contribution to the design of built form. Additionally, we consider its scale: micro, meso and macro. The analysis draws attention to legal, social and economic constraints and opportunities."
