  • Grand Opening of the Todd Bardes Meadowlands Side Trail by Nancy Tilt, TBTC Conservation Committee
    Winter 2016-2017 THE QUARTERLY OF THE TORONTO BRUCE TRAIL CLUB Vol. LIII No. 4 www.torontobrucetrailclub.org | 416-763-9061 | [email protected] Grand Opening of the Todd Bardes Meadowlands Side Trail by Nancy Tilt, TBTC Conservation Committee Friends and family, hikers, and Toronto Bruce Trail Club Conservation Committee members, about 75 in all, gathered at Limehouse Com- munity Hall on a beautiful early September Sunday. The occasion was the Grand Opening of a new Side Trail in memory of Todd Bardes, a dedicated and treasured Bruce Trail volunteer. Car and bus thru-hikes had been organized for the day to coincide with the early afternoon opening of the Trail. Peter Leeney, friend of Todd and currently Land Stewardship Director and past President of the Toronto Club, spoke of Todd's long history with the Bruce Trail. Todd joined the Bruce Trail Association in 1994 and had been actively involved with trail activities since 1996 both at the club level, the broader Board level, and most recently as President. In 2001 the Bruce Trail purchased the 39-acre Springle property just north of Limehouse. Todd and his wife, Christina, subsequently took on the role of Land Stewards. Existing ATV disturbance in the mead- owland portion of the property was an issue needing attention. Fellow Bruce Trail volunteer, Andrew Costley, came up with the idea of a community-based and monitored Side Trail through the meadow. Todd, along with support from other volunteers, wholeheartedly agreed, and through their efforts the Side Trail came to life. Andrew Costley, on behalf of all volunteers who knew Todd, spoke Hike Leader Training 2017 of him as a friend and mentor, providing both advice and leadership with wise and patient counsel.

  • Another Beautiful Day for Toronto Club's
    Summer 2018 THE QUARTERLY OF THE TORONTO BRUCE TRAIL CLUB Vol. LV No. 2 www.torontobrucetrailclub.org | 416-763-9061 | [email protected] Another Beautiful day for Toronto Club’s AGM Saturday, April 21, 2018 More than 150 members of our club turned out on Saturday for our Annual Meeting, held once again at the beautiful Kortright Centre on a spectacular spring day. The day started with three vigorous hikes led by Barbara Euler, Wayne Crockett and Luisa Lee, and a photography hike led by Bob Humphreys. Following lunch the business of the meeting began. I had the pleasure of reporting on another excellent year for the club, with another year of excellent work by our volunteers across all our areas of activity. The full annual report is available for download on the members’ section of our website. Our new Treasurer, Karim Mishriki, reported on solid financial results for the club. The most important number to me in our annual report is the over $23 thousand our club was able to donate the BTC this year to further our important land acquisition work. Two new directors were elected: David Royle, a well-known hike leader, and Orest Nahacziwec, who has volunteered to take over the editing of Footnotes magazine. In addition, we are welcoming back Kevin Warburton to the Board after a vacation. Congratulations to them all, we look forward to their valuable contributions going forward. During the last year, we reluctantly accepted the resignations from the board of Brenda Brazier, Paul Vanhanen and Wayne Crockett. The valuable contributions of all these three will all be missed; fortunately, Paul and Wayne remain heavily involved as volunteers in our Land Management Committee and hiking program, respectively.

  • Parrott's Bay Master Plan
    Parrott’s Bay Conservation Area Master Plan 2009 1 Parrott’s Bay Conservation Area Master Plan Written for the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority by: Jason D. Hynes In 1784 James Parrott, along with his family and a number of other United Empire Loyalist families, landed at an inlet that still bears his name a little west of present day Kingston; he would also come to own property neighbouring what is now the Parrott’s Bay Conservation Area. The Parrott’s Bay Conservation Area has long been used by area residents as a place to explore and enjoy the wonder of the natural and cultural heritage features of this special place. 2 Acknowledgement It is important to acknowledge, at this time, the keen and dedicated interest that so many have shown towards seeing the Parrott’s Bay Conservation Area have a clear management direction and plan for development to guide this special place into the future.
