"The children‘s centre helps youth who have mental or substance abuse problems cope with the challenges they face every day.
“We did a pilot project with one child and a recreationist. That individual worked with the child around the specific interests they had,” Walters said.
“The child was interested in outdoor recreation kinds of things, canoe trips, hiking, things like that.”"

Great Tips On Fishing In Ontario | Trolling Fishing Reel
"In fishing, there are also different regulations to be followed. If you are going to indulge yourself in a fishing activity, you have to bring with you your fishing license. For Canadian residents, they have to be provided with a fishing-version Outdoors card. Attached to this card is a license tag that will validate the card. For non-residents of Canada, they should carry with them their signed basic license form. For it to be valid, the proper licensed tag must be attached to it.
The license card or outdoor card must be brought along every you would go into fishing. The non-resident license card or the fishing-version outdoor card is non-transferable. Only you are entitled to use it. If a Conservation officer asks for your license or outdoor card, you have to show it since it is authorized by law."

BioOne Online Journals - Effects of Recreational Trails on Northern Cardinals (Cardinalis cardinalis) in Forested Urban Parks
"Trail use was estimated using cameras at seven of 14 sites. Nest attendance was not related to distance to trail, nest height, or trail use. We found little evidence that daily nest survival rates were related to distance to trail, nest attendance, trail use, or site. Rather, daily nest survival was best explained by and positively related to nest height. Though vegetation characteristics in randomly-located plots were unrelated to distance from trail, nests closer to trails were surrounded by more small stems (8 cm), less native vegetation, and were placed at greater heights and farther from the foliage edge. Thus, birds may modify nest-site selection in relation to recreational trails."

Welland Canal Trail Riding - GTA Motorcycle.com
"In spite of the rutted and washed out sections the trails have a lot of potential. If trespassing could be eliminated and the trails groomed smooth to flatten out the ruts these trail sections would make an excellent grand prix style track that run along a beautiful section of the canal. In fact, if the wide sections of land up to 100 metres across between the roads and bridges were groomed for this purpose there would be several tracks that could be used and enjoyed by riders of all skill levels."
