We started out at one of tell you all about my those big white things I think they call a windmill in the Prince other adventures Township Wind Farm. Mon Dieu, I could not believe how tall in the future. that thing was! Mike and Cheryl and Misty have done much work on the trail since it was closed two years ago so all those big white things could be built. When we reached the big lake, we rock hopped along the shore for awhile and had lunch near an old boiler that lies a little ways offshore. The water was so low, we could see quite a bit of the boiler sticking out. Then, we had to hike mostly uphill back to the van. Good thing for me that mon ami Mike wasn’t too tired to carry me back or I never would have made it on my short legs! Next, I had an adventure up in a little town called Schreiber. The VTA invited me to attend their spring meeting there, so I said, bien sûr, why not? At the meeting, I saw some magnifique signs that the Casque Isles club will be installing at trailheads and along the highway. Très bien! After the meeting, Monsieur Doug Stefurak, President of the Casque Isles club, led eight of us on a hike up Mount Gwynne. Along with Mike and Cheryl and Misty, there was also Dieter and Erika Ropke, Ila Aho and Gayle Phillips. Monsieur Doug was the engine of our little train of hikers and Erika and Ila were the caboose.

Many thanks to President Doug Stefurak and the Casque Isles club for hosting the meeting and providing us with a delicious lunch! The Casque Isles club showed samples of their nine trailhead and six highway signs that have been installed in the Schreiber/Rossport/Terrace Bay area. Very impressive! (See the photos of these signs in the next column or on the VTA web site in the Casques Isles photo gallery and I think you will agree they are beautiful!) Two other issues of interest that arose from the meeting include: 1) a motion to be voted on at the Annual General Meeting in the fall that the Landowner Liaison position be combined with the Membership Secretary position and the Trail Master/Tool Keeper position be combined with the Treas- urer position, and CALL FOR STEVE 2) a position of Database Manager be added to the Coordi- nating Council to maintain the electronic database created TAYLOR AWARD for the trail system during the recent updating of the Thirteen years ago, the Voyageur Trail Association created the guidebook; this, too, will be voted on at the AGM.

  • Casque Isles Hiking Trail Users Guide
    Casque Isles Hiking Trail Users Guide Background; The Casque Isles Hiking Trail is just one of 17 trails from Espanola to Thunder Bay that make up the Voyageur Trail Association. The Voyageur Trail Association’s (VTA) vision is to work with volunteers and partner organizations to build a continuous wilderness-style hiking trail from Sudbury through Sault Ste. Marie to Thunder Bay, a distance of some 1,100 km paralleling the rugged Northern Ontario shores of Lake Huron and Lake Superior. Our Trail is also registered as part of the Trans Canada Trail (TCT or The Great Trail). With over 20,000 kms of multi-use trails nationwide, The Great Trail connects us all together. We are proud to be affiliated with these organizations. The Casque Isles Hiking Trail was originally marked and cut out of the bush in the 1970’s as a Pedestrian/Hiking only Trail. Our Trail is registered with the TCT for the purposes of hiking, backpacking, snowshoeing and bushwhack skiing. While some parts of our Trail use Roadways, i.e. in Rainbow Falls Provincial Park, by far the majority of it was intended for hiking off of the beaten path. In most places the trail is too rough or inaccessible for other uses anyway. We will always endeavour to keep the Trail clear, but you may encounter fallen trees that need to be climbed over or gone around, or you may have to wade a stream during high water. This is a true wilderness Trail, and some have described parts of our Trail as “bushwhacking with blazes”.

  • Environmental Assessment Report for the East‑West Tie Transmission Project
    EAST-WEST TIE TRANSMISSION PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT REPORT 19. NON-TRADITIONAL LAND AND RESOURCE USE This section describes and summarizes an assessment of the effects of East-West Tie Transmission Project (the Project) on non-traditional land and resource use. Non-traditional land and resource use refers to the use of lands and their resources for commercial and non-commercial (e.g. recreational) purposes, such as mining, forestry, agriculture, energy production, hunting, trapping, fishing and other outdoor recreation and tourism activities. Non-traditional land and resource use also refers to the formal designation of lands, through federal, provincial, or municipal authorities, as areas of specific use (e.g., residential, industrial or as parks and protected areas). The assessment follows the general approach and concepts described in Section 5. The main steps in the assessment include: consideration of input from Indigenous communities, government representatives and agencies, other communities, property owners, interest holders, and people or groups interested in the Project during the ongoing consultation and engagement process; identification of information and data sources used in the assessment; identification and rationale for selection of criteria and indicators for non-traditional land and resource use; establishment of temporal and spatial boundaries for the assessment of effects on these criteria; description of the existing non-traditional land and resource use features and activities to gain an understanding
