The Iroquoian Newsletter IROQUOA The Iroquoian Official Newsletter of the Iroquoia Bruce Trail Club FALL 2016 SIGHTS FROM THE TRAIL PHOTO CREDITS TRAIL ETIQUETTE - Respecting the Rules to Preserve our Access to the Trail - by Michael McDonald Given that our club members are diverse in the ways they enjoy and explore the Bruce Trail, we do occasionally hear of conflicts on the trail. It is always critical that we be reminded that more than half of our precious Bruce Trail is on private land with the express and generous permission of the landowner. We must always remember to be grateful and respectful to our landowners and local stakeholders. While exploring the Bruce Trail please abide by the Bruce Trail Users' Code: 1. Hike only along marked routes. Do not take short cuts. 2. Obey all signage. 3. Use the stiles. Do not climb fences. 4. Respect the privacy of people living along the Trail. 5. Leave the Trail cleaner than you found it. Carry out all lier. 6. Use a portable stove. No open fires are allowed on the Trail. 7. Camp only at designated camp sites. 8. Leave flowers and plants for others to enjoy. 9. Do not damage live trees or remove bark. 10. Where dogs are permied, keep dogs on a leash and under control at all times. 11. Do not disturb wildlife and farm animals. 12. Leave only your thanks and take nothing but photographs. Let’s work together to ensure that we maintain a trail that produces the least possible ecological footprint, but still offers an amazing experience to trail users. Happy Hiking!

IROQUOIA BRUCE TRAIL CLUB TRAILS FROM THE PAST – FOLLOW UP to Bridge over 12 Mile Creek By Paul Beneteau Paul Toffoletti’s excellent article in the last issue of the Iroquoian prompted a lot of memories which I would like to share with you. Between the construction in 1966 and its eventual Ainal replacement By the galvanized steel Bridge in 1982, the Bridge suffered many indignities. It seems that even though the local residents made great use of it, some of the younger ones thought it was a great piece of playground equipment. The result was constant repairs to the point that it could not Be used and was Beyond repair. Stepping stones were installed as an alternative, But were only useful in low water conditions, the result was more wet feet crossing the creek. Talk of a replacement Bridge went of for many years until one Iroquoia Board meeting in 1981 when Gus McPherson was the President, Frank Birch was the Trail Director, and I was the Publicity Director, a workable plan was developed. Frank knew of a company in Kitchener which could faBricate a Bridge in sections and assemble it on site; great news however two Big concerns; getting permission and raising the money. Someone had a letter from the Mayor of Burlington giving us permission. The proBlem was not one knew who had the letter! An even Bigger proBlem with all the various government agencies involved - would it even Be possiBle? We needed approval from Halton Conservation Authority, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, the Niagara Escarpment Commission, the Cedar Springs community and the City of Burlington. Long story short, with the invaluaBle assistance of Allen Ernst of the BTA, a meeting was arranged on-site with all parties concerned. The project was discussed, questions were answered and everyone was satisied and the project was approved. The other Big concern was the money. Funds for the trail construction and maintenance were limited and to Build the structure would cost over $9000.00. How could we raise the money? After some Brainstorming it was suggested we ask everyone to contribute. A prominent local artist donated a painting. RafAle tickets were printed and mailed out to every member with the newsletter. We asked the completed stuBs Be returned with their $10. A vast majority of the membership participated, a few returned tickets saying they didn’t gamble and the others just gave a $10 donation. We raised over $5000.00 Other money was found, the project was completed in 1982 thanks to the efforts of Frank Birch and Harry Marshall. My memory has many Blanks and possiBly some inaccuracies. IF you know who was the artist, or who won the painting or anyone involved who can provide more details on this major project, please give me a call and I will provide an update in a future newsletter so that eventually we can have a complete record of this project. Paul Beneteau 905-335-0707 CertiHied Hike Leader Training Iroquoia is a cluB with approximately 2200 plus or minus members.

Hamilton Escarpment ESA The Hamilton Escarpment ESA is immediately to the north of the Greenhill subwatershed and runs along the escarpment boundary. See Hamilton Escarpment ESA Natural Areas Inventory Site Summary provided. Why Protect ESAs? Hamilton, like many other municipalities, identifies significant natural areas in its Official Plan as a means to protect natural areas and ecological functions. These areas are an important part of what makes Hamilton a great city. Hamilton has a wealth of significant natural areas that improve the quality of our air, water, and lives. Also, the Provincial Government, through the Planning Act, Provincial Policy Statement, Niagara Escarpment Plan, and Greenbelt Plan, requires that municipalities develop policies to protect natural heritage features. By identifying Core Areas and providing policies to protect and enhance them, the City of Hamilton ensures that these areas and the important functions they provide are preserved for the benefit of everyone. The above is information from the City of Hamilton Website: City of Hamilton. “Environmentally Significant Areas Impact Evaluation Group." http://www.hamilton.ca/CityDepartments/PlanningEcDev/Divisions/Planning/CommunityPlanning/NaturalH eritage/ESAIEG/?WT.mc_id=ESAIEG&WT.hamilton_redirect_friendly=1, City of Hamilton. 2012.
