Snowmobiling is all 'about the lifestyle' - The Sudbury Star - Ontario, CA
"A few years ago, the Greater Sudbury area was the heart and soul of snowmobiling activity -- the epicentre, really -- in northeastern Ontario.
A huge event in Garson this Saturday is looking to attract 350 snowmobilers from across Ontario. Organizers also want to help get that image back after a number of rather quiet years on the trails in the Sudbury District.
'The Big Deal Poker Run idea came up back in October,' Mark Lang of Snow Goer Magazine Canada."

Always check ice before you head out - Northumberland Today - Ontario, CA
"This is where my mixed emotions come into play. The forecast for the next couple of days is calling for abnormally high temperatures and rain for our part of Ontario. If that comes true, and it sure looks and feels like it will, we won't have to worry about fighting deep snow until we get back to cooler, freezing weather again. I like that idea, simply because I like to zip around the lakes on my ATV and fish a variety of locations, which usually results in better catches, especially when an area gets too much fishing pressure as some locations are.
On the other hand, will we even be able to go ice fishing until the ice firms up again? Will the ice be safe enough to walk on, let alone drive on? Only time will tell, but you can bet I'll be checking the ice conditions thoroughly before I head out on it."

Stoked on Stokely skiing - thestar.com
"The three of us — Nordic skiers of varying levels — have stopped halfway through our 15-kilometre trek at the propane-heated Stokely Lake Cabin to eat lunch, swap ski stories and pose for pictures with fellow skiers. Pat, Carina and I have plans to press on to the legendary Norm’s Cabin on Bone Lake, where trapper Norm Bourgeois lived until his death last year. Maintained by the Algoma Highlands Nature Conservancy, the rustic cabin is filled with memorabilia and tea and cookies, awaiting famished skiers. But our aching quads demand our attention, so we head back to the trailhead under sunny, blue skies — and a few slippery slopes along the way."

BikeShow
The Toronto International Bicycle Show is continuing its tradition of staging the industry’s top annual spectacle while, at the same time, helping the environment and giving back to the community. As the industry’s No. 1 exclusive Canadian bicycle consumer show enters its 25th year, attendance figures are holding and more importantly, surveys indicate that 50% of visitors still purchase product at this show. Some 37% of visitors are 18-34 and 31% are 35 to 49 years of age, so the popularity of cycling is not restricted to any specific age group. The show is also a hit with young people – 13% who attended last year were 17 and under.
The show also gives back to the community. It sponsors BAM (Bicycle Assembly and Maintenance Program), donates BMX Ramps to the City of Toronto’s BMX Program and gives free space and show passes annually to 22 Ontario clubs and associations to promote recreational cycling."
