"Canoeists and kayakers planning a traditional Canadian summer trip — including Scouts and Girl Guides on group excursions to explore a quiet lake — could now face a mountain of paperwork and a boat tax under new federal rules, critics charge.

Hike Ontario Certified Hike Leader Course - Sat, Mar 26 2011

"Interested in leading hikes for the TOC or on your own? Want to ensure you are prepared as a leader?

The TOC is offering Hike Ontario's Certified Hike Leader course - this is open to TOC volunteers and members.

Why does this course exist?

Leadership – the TOC and Hike Ontario recognizes the need for competent outdoor leaders who have the knowledge and understanding of group interactions and how best to lead people.

Risk Management – The safety of every hiker “out there” is important in and of itself, and to keep hiking popular and growing.

Social – A skilled Hike Leader can enhance the hiking experience for the entire group and create a social as well as physical outing.

Physical – Hike Leaders are people who can lead others in an activity that is physically good for them, and in which they might not be comfortable participating alone.

Environmental – Hiking is a great opportunity find out, learn about and appreciate the environment. Hike Leaders need to be well informed and create teaching opportunities for a better understanding and appreciation of our natural resources, and how we can protect them."

Trails of 1812

"What does a bike-share program have to do with the War of 1812?" you ask. "What better way to get to the event than by bike?" the city's planning department answers.

On Tuesday, the city council voted 6-2 to apply for the grant, which requires the city to pony up matching funds in the amount of $66,000. If the grant is awarded, the city will have a total of $136,000 with which to install the stations (the amount matched, plus $4,000 matched in-kind). There will be three stations in total, to be located at the College Park Metro, City Hall and the Hollywood Commercial District, and each station will hold four bikes.
