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.

I was out on a day hike in Killarney Provincial Park, located on the shores of Georgian Bay between Parry Sound and Sudbury, Ontario, when the idea struck for the March for Merazonia. It was early May, the weather was beautiful, the northern verdure was blooming and blossoming in every direction, and I was inspired. I thought to […]
Found three abandoned baby squirrels in a nest, one already stiff and cold! So I rescued the other two… One suffered from dehydration (on the left above — notice how the skin is a bit wrinkly), and only made it a week and a half :((frowny face). Was able to rehabilitate the last one before releasing it into […]
Sighted off the roadside near Noëlville… For a couple of really great moose stories, read — and learn why I think eating wild meat is ethical, too!

Bylaw 2007-41 rezones a parcel of land from a Rural area to a Waste Disposal area. Halton Recycling Ltd. has entered into negotiations with the owners of […]

Residents were allowed 30 minutes […]
Got wheels? If so, Scanlon Creek Park, part of the Simcoe Region Conservation program near Newmarket, is a great place to walk or hike. The park is pretty big: there are various trails to follow, so a half-day can be planned. From the parking lot, the trails leading to the lake—the main attraction—are neat and wide, well-kept, easy […]
A week after my Northern bush excursion, I decided to try a longer walk, minus my heavy pack (I brought a day pack only). I set off from Toronto’s Beaches and walked to the access point of the Don Valley recreational trail along the Lakeshore. To my surprise, it was closed for construction. Deciding that I would skirt […]
May long weekend, my brother and I went bushing (it really can’t be called hiking) on my parents’ property in the French River area. I loaded my pack for trek training, weighing in at 40 lbs., and we set off through the dense Northern Ontario underbrush. My brother taught me how to use a compass and guide myself […]
