Arriving Early / Staying Late: Consider an overnight option at one of Ontario By Bike's certified bicycle-friendly accommodations in southeastern Ontario. HERE. Total Distance: 147km trail out and back (to 175km if looped routes are chosen) Experience Level and Ride Guide: Moderate. Riders need to have some experience on roads with vehicle traffic as the route is approximately half on roads and half on trails or park roads. The route does follow a signed bike route, the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail, but not all segments have bike lanes or paved shoulders to ride on. Some of the road route is on very quiet country roads, other segments are busier. Off-road trails do incorporate some segments of unpaved surfaces, which are hard-packed, and easy to ride. The majority of the ride is on paved surfaces and combined with limited elevation changes, the flat terrain makes this ride suitable for hybrid bikes, mountain bikes and road bikes. Note: Due to health and safety precautions, the itinerary for this ride has changed from earlier years and it is no longer a linear end to end route, requiring bus and bike transportation back to the start. Use of a personal vehicle will be required for transportation to start locations for day 1 and 2, an alternate that worked well for the 2020 ride. Price and Booking: Double $399 pp + HST ($450.87) Single $529 + HST ($597.77) Triple $339 pp + HST ($383.07) Quad $309 pp + HST ($349.17); **$20 discount for child/youth 16 years and under OK Cycle & Adventure Tours Inc. - 666 Kirkwood Ave - Suite B102 – Ottawa, Ontario Canada K1Z 5X9 www.okcycletours.com Toll Free 1-888-621-6818 Local 613-702-5350 TICO Ontario Registration No: 50022848 Included: 2 nights hotel accommodation; 2 breakfasts; 3 lunches; luggage transfer; van support; snack and water stops; group social; detailed route maps; booking fee.

  • Trans Canada Trail Proposed in the City of Toronto (Various Wards)
    Trans Canada Trail Proposed in the City of Toronto (Various Wards) (City Council on February 29, March 1 and 2, 2000, adopted this Clause, without amendment.) The Economic Development and Parks Committee recommends the adoption of the following report (January 24, 2000) from the Commissioner of Economic Development, Culture and Tourism: Purpose: To report on the development of the Trans Canada Trail; identifying the City of Toronto’s potential participation through the identification of a trail route through the City and the siting of one or more Trans Canada Trail pavilions at appropriate locations along that route. Financial Implications and Impact Statement: Identifying existing trails and cycling routes within the City as part of the Trans Canada Trail can be accomplished at very minimal costs to the City (e.g., the installation of Trans Canada Trail signage). The development of new trails to fill in gaps in the City’s trail network will also provide linkages that may be suitable for the Trans Canada Trail, in either an interim or long-term framework. These sections of new trail will be planned and budgeted for as part of the City’s future Capital Works Programs. Since pavilions are an integral part of the Trans Canada Trail program, the Trans Canada Trail Foundation provides 100 percent of the funding for the construction of each pavilion. Funding assistance for trail development in each province/territory is potentially available from the Trans Canada Trail Foundation. Individual donations may only be identified by the donor to be used on a provincial/territorial basis and not at a more specific local level.

    Acknowledgments The site of Exhibition Place has had a long tradition as a gathering place. Given its location on the water, these lands would have attracted Indigenous populations before recorded history. We acknowledge that the land occupied by Exhibition Place is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands. Figure 1.

  • Mimico Land Assembly for Waterfront Trail, Ward 3 ______
    Mark Grimes Toronto City Hall Toronto City Councillor 100 Queen Street West Ward 3, Etobicoke-Lakeshore Suite C48 Toronto Ontario M5H 2N ______________________________________________________________________________ Date: March 2, 2021 To: Members of Etobicoke York Community Council From: Councillor Mark Grimes Subject: Mimico Land Assembly for Waterfront Trail, Ward 3 ______________________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY The Mimico Waterfront Park, situated between Humber Bay Park West and Norris Crescent Parkette, is a 1.1km multi-use waterfront trail created by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) with funds provided by Waterfront Toronto. It was developed in two phases, the first completed in 2008 and the second in 2012. It provides safe access to the waterfront, improves the ecological functioning of this section of the Lake Ontario shoreline and offers environmental, economic and social benefits to the Mimico community and broader region. Currently the Waterfront Trail along Lake Ontario ends at Norris Crescent, travels north to Lake Shore Boulevard West, and then continues as a cycle track west along Lake Shore Boulevard West to First Street. There are several privately-owned parcels of land along Lake Ontario that preclude the trail from continuing westward. Many of these lands are vacant, for sale, or are being assembled for development. This presents an opportunity to acquire the lands abutting Lake Ontario for the purpose of connecting and continuing the Mimico Waterfront Park westward. This motion seeks a report from City staff, working jointly with the federal and provincial levels of government, TRCA, Waterfront Toronto and other waterfront organizations, with a plan to extend Mimico Waterfront Park between Royal York Rd and First Street, through the sale, acquisition, and development of privately owned lands, including identify potential sources of funding.

  • Waterfront Toronto Rolling Five-Year Strategic Plan
    December 6, 2018 2019/20–2023/24 Waterfront Toronto / Rolling Five-Year Strategic Plan / Past · Present · Future Toronto is at a critical juncture. It has a strong and diversified economy, The Opportunity a thriving cultural life, and has earned a growing international reputation for Toronto, as a welcoming destination for visitors and new immigrants. At the same time, like other cities around the world Toronto is working to address an Ontario, array of challenges associated with economic inequality, affordability, and Canada mobility and environmental sustainability. The challenges many cities face today are products of their growth and success. Urbanization is a major global trend: 55% of humanity already lives in cities, and the UN projects that this figure will reach 68% by 2050. The Greater Toronto Area is home to nearly half of Ontarians (48.3%), a share that’s expected to keep growing. Toronto’s assets and systems —from housing to roads to transit—are strained precisely because so many people want to live and work here. In addition to facing challenges associated with its growth, Toronto is navigating trends that are shaping life across many jurisdictions. Toronto’s neighbourhoods have become more fractured along lines of income and identity. Opportunities related to technological and economic change have been unevenly distributed. Variations in social capital and trust leave some residents at increased risk of isolation. And extreme weather is becoming more frequent, raising concerns about the resilience of our built environment. Over the next five years, Toronto—and by extension Ontario and Canada, whose economies and reputations are tied to their largest city—has an opportunity to address some of the pressing urban problems of our time, growing economically while thriving socially and culturally.
