Hazel’s late husband Murray (d. Dec 23, 1998) served on the Foundation’s Board of Directors in the 1980s and early 1990s, serving as Chair of our Publicity Committee. His role in promoting conservation was invaluable in a time when the Foundation had no staff members and relied entirely on the skill sets of volunteers. Luckily for the Foundation, Murray sold advertising for CKOC before retiring and was a well-known figure among local media outlets, making him a perfect fit for the Publicity Committee. Known by his colleagues and peers as “Mr. Volunteer,” Murray volunteered for dozens of local organizations. In addition to volunteering with the Foundation Board, he served as a canvasser for the Canadian Cancer Society for 30 years, chaired the Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal, volunteered with Wesley Urban Ministries, was honored for his volunteer service by the Sertoma Club of Hamilton and was active in the Ryerson United church congregation. Murray’s late widow Hazel was equally involved in Ryerson United Church and chose to show her love of the wider Hamilton community through her estate. Hazel left gifts in her estate to several of the charities Murray supported with his volunteerism, including the Foundation. Hazel Awde passed away in November of 2014, leaving legacy gifts to a number of local charities. 3 Hermitage Ruins Prescribed burn revitalizes Dundas Valley restoration to begin prairie ecosystem Prairie burns are done to mimic a natural disturbance in this Donations received to date will stabilize fire-dependent ecosystem. the existing structure by the end of 2015.

The crumbling structure needs immediate attention to prevent collapse.

Below: By May 28th, one month after the initial burn, native seeds have taken root and greened the entire area. Ferguson’s fundraising and community efforts have closed the funding gap to just $90,000 for the comprehensive $600,000 restoration project. In January the Foundation announced it would match the next $25,000 in donations, of which $5,000 has already been received. Adam Dart, a descendant of the Leith family which owned the Hermitage, is hoping the matching funding will help close the funding gap. “The sight of the Hermitage Ruins is majestic. It is a place where past and current generations have come to learn and marvel at the history of what once was. With this restoration, future generations will have that same opportunity to immerse themselves in the history of the site,” said Dart. 44 Community support sees Maplewood Hall New east Mountain demolished to make way for new native plantings wetland project The former Artaban Road facility in the heart of the Dundas underway Valley CA has been demolished. $4 million fund at Conservation With $134,000 donated and a further $60,000 pledged, demolition of Authority will secure key properties the hall, a small residence, a washroom building and an old wooden along Battlefield and Stoney Creeks. camp was completed in September and October.

    L09F Ancaster Waterfalls Trail Guide - TorontoHiking.com WAYPOINT DISTANCE WAYPOINT-TO-WAYPOINT TRAIL DESCRIPTION INTERVAL km 001 - 002 0.4 Follow the groomed trail from the Tiffany Falls parking lot into the woods along the creek bed. The creek bed rounds a corner and there in front of you is an observation platform and the impressive Tiffany Falls (002). You can walk down the rocky creek bed right to the base of the falls. There is a steep trail up the side of the gorge to the left of the falls that leads to another Tiffany Falls – the upper falls which has a height of 6.5 m and a crest of 7 m. After viewing the falls retrace your steps to the parking lot. To access the main Bruce Trail you need to cross busy Wilson Avenue. Be very careful here! 001 - 003 1.8 Once across, go left on the main trail. This is an interesting section of the trail with some very rocky and slippery portions. You might see a few deer in the area. The trail comes out onto Old Dundas Road (003). 003 - 004 2.0 Be careful crossing this road to pick up the main Bruce Trail on the other side. Soon Sherman Falls can be seen ahead of you. The trail crosses a long wooden bridge over Ancaster Creek in front of the falls (004). 004 - 005 2.8 Leaving the falls, the trail climbs a dirt hill and follows along a fenced-off field and then goes back into the woods and follows the winding edge of the escarpment.
