Ontario Trails - Update

WEATHER WATCH - from the weather network

People heading back to work or planning more holiday travel this week may want to bring along a snow brush.

A low developing over the southern United States will push into central Canada on Tuesday and rapidly intensify.

Precipitation will start as light rain, but as temperatures drop Tuesday evening, the rain will change to snow. Parts of eastern Ontario, including the Ottawa Valley, could see up to 15 cm by Wednesday.

Ontario Trails - Sled, Ski, Hike or Ride Ontario's Trails

Centennial College: Impetus for a shift to sustainable tourism is ever present; sustainability will be the underpinning of best practices within the tourism industry moving forward.  I am happy to announce that the School of Hospitality, Tourism and Culture wishes to close this gap by developing a four-year bachelor degree program in Sustainable Tourism Management.

 

This broad-based program is designed to produce tourism professionals with a unique blend of theory and practice that intersects the Tourism, Hospitality, Culture, Heritage, and Business Sectors and leads to the world of work in hospitality and tourism sectors with a specialization in sustainable tourism management.

All of us at Context Creative wish you and your families peace and love over the holidays and a joyous and prosperous 2012! To help spread joy around the world, we made a donation to WaterCan. Thank you for a wonderful 2011 and we look forward to continuing our work together in 2012.

Toronto Bruce Trail Club Annual General Meeting will be held onSaturday April 21, 2012. The event will be once again at the Kortright Centre. The address is 9550 Pine Valley Drive, Maple Ont. The phone number is 905-832-2289. Parking will be free.

We are proud to announce that this year celebrates the 50^th Anniversary of our first hike and to honour the occasion we hope to have with us some original founding members. Keep your eyes on E-Notes, your Toronto Club’s periodic email newsletter, and our website for ongoing updates. We will also permit non-members to attend the guest speaker portion of the event where space permits.
