Killbear Provincial Park, Georgian Bay area
Travelling within the vast and varied province of Ontario can be like visiting a few different countries, and the amount of time it takes to do it attests to that! It’s such a big province that it can take as long as flying abroad to cross it by car. That means there’s lots to see and do!
In fact, travel and trekking in Ontario is as diverse as the province’s landscapes and ecosystems. Whether travelling for leisure or trekking for rugged adventure, each region within Ontario has something distinct to offer.

Victoria Day weekend, we left Halfway Lake park, rejected by park wardens fearful of forest fires and evacuation notices nearby (the situation being fairly dire this dry season). Undeterred, we drove another few hours north and found a park that would let us into the backcountry. It wasn’t initially supposed to be a Wakami Provincial Park backcountry trip, […]
We kept hearing a hooting owl every time we went out back to feed the chickens. One day I decided to follow the sound into the forest, first going back for my camera. I told my dad what I was up to and he decided to come, too. We didn’t get very far at all before seeing the […]
Last weekend, Marc and I traded in our hiking boots for rubber ones during the Land of the Voyageurs Rubber Boots Festival. Amazing as it was, we’re ready for different footwear.

“I saw an otter today, splashing around near where we were working. It spent all day just swimming around and eating fish.” Did Marc know how jealous he made me when he said that coming home from work yesterday? The weather’s been gorgeous and he’s lucky to have gotten to spend the day outside. As for me, I […]
Awareness about the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement (CETA) between Canada and the European Union is growing and opposition is mounting. There are currently 45 municipalities in the country that have passed — or are in the process of passing — resolutions on CETA, some seeking full exemptions from the agreement. In addition, six school boards and nationwide and […]
Deep in Peru’s Amazon Basin, a hacienda nestles in the rainforest along the shores of the Tambopata River. A covered walkway leads to outer buildings, then transforms into a narrow footpath leading past a banana field, lemon trees, and a vegetable and herb garden. The path ends at an enclosure which engulfs and fences an unseen part of […]
I got my first kombucha culture from my uncle. A good many of my relatives have always made the most of nature’s bounty, especially easy around here since we all spend so much time out in the bush. My uncle ordered the kombucha online, though. His kombucha culture had a baby, which he gave to me once mature. […]
Arriving at St James Park around 2 p.m. on Sunday, onlookers at Sunday’s Occupy Toronto General Assembly would have seen an ocean of spirit fingers, as a self-described Raging Granny asserted through the human microphone, “We are involved in a new way of thinking.” Scanning the park adjacent to St James Church, located at the intersection of King […]
