Erie Coast packed with gems | Travel | London Free Press
"Ontario's South Coast has been called many things including the Ontario Riviera, Bluewater Country and the Lake Erie Coast.
This is the scenic southernmost point in Canada along the north shore of Lake Erie from Port Dover to Harrow.
It inspires thoughts of far-away places. Port Dover is Canada's version of Cape Cod while Pelee is great for island hopping and sampling wines from a climate similar to that of Northern California, Spain and Italy."

Trail plan detoured - The Barrie Examiner - Ontario, CA
"What can be done is being done about safety on Barrie's Northshore Trail.
A motion to look at doing more -- specifically concerning vegetation cover -- didn't pass muster with city councillors this week.
'People are still concerned about break-ins and vandalism from the trail, people sleeping outside, partying,' said Coun. Mike Ramsay, who represents Ward 1, where much of the trail lies beside Kempenfelt Bay."

Going away to ride horses
"They are the Riders Without Borders, trotting far beyond the enclosed arenas of Singapore in search of good horses and riding trails.
From Johor Baru to as far afield as Jordan and Mongolia, they are drawn by the wide open spaces, the different kinds of horses, terrain and riding experience and, above all, the affordability.
This informal gathering of around 50 �������riders often organises groups of about 10 people, comprising experienced riders and beginners, for trips across the Causeway for lessons."

TheWesternStar.com: Columns | Drinking and driving can be stopped
"According to the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, “drivers with a blood alcohol above 0.05, but below the legal limit are 7.2 times more likely to be in a fatal collision than drivers with a zero alcohol. This clearly supports a complete ban on driving with any alcohol in the blood.”
Before you say this is impossible and cannot be done you might want to look at ATVs and snowmobiles because this sector already has a zero tolerance to alcohol. This should raise a few eyebrows when people realize that the rules around alcohol are stricter for ATVs or snowmobiles than cars."
