HAMILTON HALTON BRANT 2-DAY WATERFALL ITINERARY 2 WATERFALL ITINERARY TIPS & A HEADS UP Welcome to Waterfall Hiking in The Heart of Ontario! This 2-Day experience features the iconic waterfall sites in the centre of Hamilton, Ontario. Enjoy safely, while preserving our beautiful trails, natural areas, and the Niagara Escarpment’s landscapes. The routes are designed to offer you insight to the history and footprints of the past. DAY ONE’s itinerary offers a round-trip journey, guiding you on the Niagara Escarpment’s edge, through rustic groomed trails to Scenic Falls in the Iroquoia Heights Conservation Area. Just for fun, take the pedestrian bridge that leads you over Highway 403 and peers over the crest of the “mountain” and over to Ancaster. Hikers will trek along the towering escarpment rock walls of the city above, delivering you to a tranquil garden of trails and waterfalls. It’s a loop experience, if you want to challenge the stairs back to the upper section of Hamilton. Before you venture up, be sure to visit Hamilton’s diverse communities within the city. Foodies will love the selection of restaurants and cafes, in downtown districts, nearby the trails. DAY TWO will take you on a waterfall exploration to must-see Albion Falls and Felker’s Falls. Included, is a wonderful rushing waterfall discover to Upper Glendale Falls, which is uniquely found beside the old Mount Albion access. This is a wonderful day hiking among the buzz of community life, as these waterfall sites are perfectly tucked away in the middle of plenty of what Hamilton has to offer. To make it an easy day, plan to park nearby Albion Falls, and then at Felker’s Falls CA. An optional experience to Conservation Hamilton’s natural adventure, Eramosa Karst is a must, as it lends to the discover component of this itinerary. Note: Trails are subject to change as alternate routes may be required. This could be due to maintenance, and other unforeseen circumstances. Bruce Trail Conservancy updates trails on a regular basis. Please check www.brucetrail.org. HAMILTON HALTON BRANT 2-DAY WATERFALL ITINERARY 3 WATERFALL AND TRAIL ETIQUETTE We want you to enjoy your adventure! VIEW THE FALLS • Check out the falls from a viewing platform, this is the best place to see the falls and enjoy the view! • Stay away from the bottom of gorges, waterfalls or escarpment areas – there is a chance of falling rocks and you could slip and fall on wet or algae-covered rocks. • Stay away from slopes and edges of the escarpment – ground can become unstable in these areas and pose a fall hazard. • Whenever visiting water, always be mindful that some areas are prone to flash flooding — pay attention to weather conditions. • Stay at least one body-length back from the edge of gorges, waterfalls and escarpment areas. This is especially important for children and pets. • Some Waterfalls in Hamilton have polluted water, do not swim or wade in them. • Stay away from dangerous areas to take a photo your life is more important than a selfie or landscape shot. TRAIL SAFETY • Stick to the marked trails to access the waterfalls, creating your own trail is dangerous and is considered trespassing. • Respect posted signage, stay on trails and do not climb or bypass fencing. • Ensure you wear appropriate footwear and only visit the falls during the daylight hours. • Do not consume alcohol or take medication that may affect your balance while walking near the falls. • Enjoy the plants and wildlife near the waterfalls, do not litter or trample the delicate plants. Parents/ Guardians keep a very close watch on children and take the time to discuss safety concerns before and during your visit. BE PREPARED • Leave no trace – leave what you find and take out what you bring. If you are packing food to enjoy on your hike, please be sure to pack it up and take the garbage with you. • Weather, terrain, and various trail conditions can be challenging. Be prepared by packing drinking water, bug spray, sunscreen, light jacket, and even a first-aid kit. Minimize any risk by simply planning ahead. • Bring change for parking meters, where applicable.

Hike the trail veering left, opposite the Chedoke Radial Trail. There are two options, but take the Scenic Iroquoia Heights Trail (lower trail option), and it will weave along the escarpment’s edge. It’s a lovely hike, experiencing some panoramic views of Hamilton and discovering your bearings as you see the traffic up and down the “Mountain.” It’s an easy trail in a forested splendor set in an urban destination. The trail will intersect with the Iroquoia Heights Side Trail/Bruce Trail. Follow the Bruce Trail, merging right until you come to the Scenic Falls, on your right hand side. Scenic Falls flows from the Chedoke Creek Tributary and is a dynamic 20-metre ribbon, terraced cascade waterfall, and set in Hamilton Conservation Authority’s open space. This is the end of this portion trail, and to get to the Chedoke Radial Trail, you will retrace back to the bridge.

There are many side trails and if you happen to take one, you will eventually arrive to your destination. Plan to stay on the trail which grips the escarpment, it will easily intersect with the Bruce Trail. To access the Pedestrian Bridge, the Scenic Iroquoia Heights Trail will link to the Bruce Trail, and lead you to the bridge.

  • THE NATURE of HEALING Living Architecture for Long Term Care & Rehabilitation Hospitals
    THE NATURE OF HEALING Living Architecture for Long Term Care & Rehabilitation Hospitals By LAUREN KYLE A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfi lment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Architecture in Engineering Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2019 ©Lauren Kyle 2019 AUTHOR’S DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis including any required fi nal revisions, as accepted by my exminers. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii ABSTRACT Healthcare interiors are perceived as stressful and isolating spaces; endured during times of vulnerability causing stress for patients, visitors and staff . This thesis examines studies, which prove that this psychological stress is intensifi ed by the overly artifi cial and sterile conditions typical to medical environments. Further studies collected, reveal that this stress worsens the sensation of symptoms, causing increase in medication dosage and overall hinders the immune system and recovery outcomes. The paradox of the sterile healing environment is that nature, the adversary, is essential to healing processes. This thesis concentrates on research proving that not only do people generally prefer natural environments, as supported by the theory of Biophilia (see defi nition), but that exposure to elements of natural landscapes in healthcare spaces, greatly improves the holistic health of patients, visitors and staff . This thesis examines the historical and contemporary factors infl uencing the design of hospitals. In the past few decades, healthcare design has progressed by integrating therapeutic design, through these strategies discussed, Evidence-Based Design and Biophilic Design (see defi nitions).
