Looking for something you can do to have a real impact on your hiking association? Something that can be done in your spare time, requires only a few hours per month, and will bring you together with other like- minded volunteers? Consider helping out with the next edition of the Voyageur Hiking Trail Guidebook. Amongst other VTA roles, Steve Dominy has led the production of the guide for the past 15+ years, and is now looking to ease his volunteer workload. Here’s your chance to make a significant contribution to the VTA. The Voyageur Hiking Trail Guidebook, now in its 4th edition, serves as a wonderful introduction to the 600+ km of trails in our system. Cur- rently, the book is sold in retail outlets across Ontario, and to the world via the on-line store. The next version will be an update of Edition 4.0 as changes are relatively minor, and publication is targeted for fall 2011. Edition 4.0 was the first to include GIS maps produced using GPS data for the entire trail. The project involved rewriting and painstakingly editing all maps and trail descriptions. That effort saw the formation of a committee that took on specific components of the guidebook project, such as map production, GPS data collection, preparing written de- scriptions, soliciting advertising, and editing. Many of these committee members are continuing to collect GPS tracks, create new maps, and make edits and improvements as trail additions and reroutes are made. The main role of the coordinator is to ensure that the end product is of high quality and accurate. This requires organizing the various tasks, which include providing direction and assistance to committee mem- bers, overseeing the editing of text and maps, and coordinating printing. Steve has agreed to work closely with the new coordinator over the next year or so to ensure a smooth transition. Access to a computer having word processing software and (ideally) high-speed internet is required. If interested in this opportunity, please contact Steve at: 705- 946-2484 or email [email protected]. If you can‘t commit to being coordinator but are willing to serve on the committee, that‘s OK too. Any amount of help with this ongoing project will be welcomed.

The adventure started with a 22 km ride on questionable bush roads from Chippewa Falls to the unmarked parking area. The hik- ers then proceeded to follow an unmarked ATV trail to the turnoff to Griffin Lake Peak, where they were greeted with a slow and gradual climb up to the 2,100 ft peak.

  • 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
