  • Mary Lake and Eaton Hall Lake Hike
    Gate entrance to Mary Lake Mary Lake Eaton Hall Seneca Lake Monastery Mary Lake and Eaton Hall Lake Hike The Oak Ridges Moraine gets its name from its rolling hills and river valleys extending 160 km from the Niagara Escarpment in the west to the Trent River in the east and was formed 12,000 years ago by advancing and retreating glaciers. The hiking group of the Chinese University of Hong Kong Alumni Association (Ontario) will have the next hiking trip at the west end of the Oak Ridges Moraine Trail in King City. Here the natural area trail passes through two kettle moraine lakes which have provided some of the most popular sections of the trail: Mary Lake on the former country property of Sir Henry Pellatt, the builder of Casa Loma in Toronto, and Eaton Hall Lake (aka Seneca Lake) on the former Eaton Country Estate. Starting from the Mary Lake, the trail meanders north to the 16th Sideroad and through prime southern Ontario woods, sun-dappled and bird-sung. On the way back, we will cross Keele Street and head east to the Eaton Hall, a French chateau built in the Norman style for Lady Flora McCrae Eaton in 1937, which is adjacent to the Eaton Hall Lake. Located in the headwaters of the East Humber River, Eaton Hall-Mary-Hackett W etland Complex is one of the largest and most diverse wetland complexes on the Oak Ridges Moraine. Date: August 15th, 2009 (Saturday) M eeting Place: M ary Lake M onastery visitors’ parking lot. Parking fee: Free parking on most days, but a donation of $10.00 for parking may be requested if there is other community function or church activity on the same day; Parking fee may be waived if you indicate to the attendant that you go there hiking.

    THE HUMBER RIVER: THE 10-YEAR MONITORING REPORT FOR THE CANADIAN HERITAGE RIVERS SYSTEM October 2009 Lower Humber Valley, Toronto, TRCA, 2008 THE HUMBER CHALLENGE Our challenge is to protect and enhance the Humber River watershed as a vital and healthy ecosystem where we live, work and play in harmony with the natural environment. GUIDING PRINCIPLES To achieve a healthy watershed, we should: • Increase awareness of the watershed’s resources • Protect the Humber River as a continuing source of clean water • Celebrate, regenerate, and preserve our natural, historical and cultural heritage • Increase community stewardship and take individual responsibility for the health of the Humber River • Establish linkages and promote partnerships among communities • Build a strong watershed economy based on ecological health, and • Promote the watershed as a destination of choice for recreation and tourism The Humber River: The 10-Year Monitoring Report for the Canadian Heritage Rivers System i FRAGMENT: THE VALLEY Like a sweet wine flowing from the glass, the Humber of my boyhood years! First the stretch of the river valley as I knew it best, running south from Dundas Street to my beloved stone marvel of the Old Mill Bridge, a scant mile to the south, not forgetting to count a quarter-mile jog to the east halfway down to heighten the wonderment. What force of ten million years’ cunning erosion, the relentless path of an awkward giant carving out for himself great steps one by one as he strides on and on, thirsty now for a great cold draught of Lake Ontario water! What sheer-climbing cliffs with the history of planet Earth carved in each layer of shale reaching up a hundred feet from the shining valley floor, the littered rocks of the river ….
