There have been positives and negatives from the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of us have experienced tragedy and loss while others have found peace and tranquility for the first time in awhile. Although Scouts Canada put group activities on hold, I feel very lucky in that I have still been able to go hiking, biking and occasionally canoeing with your editor Kirby McCuaig. We made it up to Killarney in the summer where we camped, hiked and also had an opportunity to kayak on George Lake. I also got to go canoeing on my favorite river The Grand and on the Irondale River near Haliburton. We went down to the Point Pelee area in the spring and although the park was closed due to COVID-19 we discovered Amherstburg which is a short drive south of Windsor. Kirby wrote about the history of Amherstburg in the summer issue of Rover Venturer Magazine. We also went biking on the Elora Cataract and Georgian Railway trails in the summer and we completed the Rendezvous 2020 Hiking Challenge, so I feel very lucky that despite a pandemic being on I have been able to explore some the many beautiful places in Ontario. That being said, I have taken Kirby’s suggestion to come up with my own bucket list.
