In a few short months, I can see the many challenges ahead to uphold an interesting and varied hiking program for our members while adapting to advancing technology, the influence of social media and a shift in demographics. Going forward I intend to build on my fourteen years of experience leading hikes and count on the support of our seventy dedicated hike leaders to continue to enhance our extensive program of organized events. Meanwhile join me in thanking Wayne Crockett for his wonderful stewardship as Hiking Director in the previous two years. As we welcome spring with optimism, I want to personally thank you for your ongoing support for our ski and snowshoe program as well as our day hikes and weekend trips. 2018 will no doubt bring continued renewals as our team of enthusiastic hike leaders steadfastly put together an entertaining program to appeal to all levels of hikers. In addition to those published in the Footnotes, many more hikes will be added to the Club’s online calendar when our volunteer hike leaders are able to schedule new events throughout the seasons. I look forward to seeing you at the Club’s Annual General Meeting on April 21st at the Kortright Centre for Conservation. You are invited to come and take part in one of the four hikes scheduled before lunch. For the convenience of members who do not or prefer not to drive, we have chartered two AGM buses, one each departing from York Mills and Islington. This year a $10 subsidized bus fare is put in place to avert a $1,000 deficit similar to what was incurred last year when the AGM bus rides were free. As mentioned elsewhere in the Footnotes, it has become necessary to implement a moderate fare increase to cover the cost of running our bus program. Unless bus fares are raised forthwith, the Club stands to lose money. We have seen First Student, the bus charter service provider, increase its pricing gradually over the last few years while the Club kept its bus fare unchanged for almost eight years (since 2010). The Board decided that starting April 1st, bus fares will increase by $1 for members and $2 for non-members. For short distance hikes members will pay $18 and non-members $25; for long distance travel, members will pay $23 and non-members $30; child fare remains unchanged at $5. On a different note, if you are interested in taking on a more active role contributing your leadership skills and personality to help the Club, consider being a hike leader and participate in our Hike Leader Training Workshop in the weekend of April 7th and 8th. If you know any friends or colleagues at work who are novice outdoor adventurers and would like to learn more about day hiking, introduce them to our three part Hiker Initiation Program: an information session at Central YMCA on April 11th, a presentation and club night at both MEC Toronto and North York stores on the following day April 12th and concluding with an introductory hike on April 14th. Remember, there is always an adventure waiting in the woods and I hope to see you on the trail. * * * * e-mail: [email protected] Spring 2018 3 www.torontobrucetrailclub.org TBTC AGM (continued): Volunteer Awards The TBTC invites nominations for the Club’s two volunteer awards: The Nina Carlisle Award is given to a longstanding volunteer (at least five years) who is actively involved in the activities of the Toronto Bruce Trail Club.

  • 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.

  • Mary Lake and Eaton Hall Lake Hike
    Gate entrance to Mary Lake Mary Lake Eaton Hall Seneca Lake Monastery Mary Lake and Eaton Hall Lake Hike The Oak Ridges Moraine gets its name from its rolling hills and river valleys extending 160 km from the Niagara Escarpment in the west to the Trent River in the east and was formed 12,000 years ago by advancing and retreating glaciers. The hiking group of the Chinese University of Hong Kong Alumni Association (Ontario) will have the next hiking trip at the west end of the Oak Ridges Moraine Trail in King City. Here the natural area trail passes through two kettle moraine lakes which have provided some of the most popular sections of the trail: Mary Lake on the former country property of Sir Henry Pellatt, the builder of Casa Loma in Toronto, and Eaton Hall Lake (aka Seneca Lake) on the former Eaton Country Estate. Starting from the Mary Lake, the trail meanders north to the 16th Sideroad and through prime southern Ontario woods, sun-dappled and bird-sung. On the way back, we will cross Keele Street and head east to the Eaton Hall, a French chateau built in the Norman style for Lady Flora McCrae Eaton in 1937, which is adjacent to the Eaton Hall Lake. Located in the headwaters of the East Humber River, Eaton Hall-Mary-Hackett W etland Complex is one of the largest and most diverse wetland complexes on the Oak Ridges Moraine. Date: August 15th, 2009 (Saturday) M eeting Place: M ary Lake M onastery visitors’ parking lot. Parking fee: Free parking on most days, but a donation of $10.00 for parking may be requested if there is other community function or church activity on the same day; Parking fee may be waived if you indicate to the attendant that you go there hiking.

  • Wellington Place Public Realm Plan
    WELLINGTON PLACE *PUBLIC REALM PLAN The quality of the public realm contributes immeasurably to the quality of life in an urban environment. It’s the place where the community meets, gathers, shops, works and recreates. The public realm consists of those places that people have unlimited and direct access to. This includes the streets, sidewalks, lanes, parks and publicly accessible open spaces. The King-Spadina Secondary Plan outlined a number of objectives for improving the public realm as the area changes over time. The Community Improvement Plan also identified improvements to be implemented as the area redevelops. The recommendations in this section reinforce the directions of the original plans. The demographic and physical changes that have occurred since adoption of the original King-Spadina Plan underscore the importance of updating the Community Improvement Plan and creating a new Public Realm Plan for the area bounded by King, Spadina, Wellington and Bathurst Streets. * This document is an edited version of the Public Realm Plan prepaired by The Planning Partnership for the King- Spadina Secondary Plan Review, June 27, 2006. Legend Existing Under Construction Proposals Public Realm 1.0 Public Realm Plan The physical character of King-Spadina is distinct on each side of Spadina Avenue and the new Public Realm Plan responds to the differences between the east and west sides of Spadina. Specifically, the urban form on the east side is more concentrated with higher buildings compared to the west. Spadina itself is distinct, having been the source of study and significant improvements over the past decade. King-Spadina is also unique as an urban area, having a wide variety of uses and users.

    What’s Out There? Toronto - 1 - What’s Out There - Toronto The Guide The Purpose “Cultural Landscapes provide a sense of place and identity; they map our relationship with the land over time; and they are part of our national heritage and each of our lives” (TCLF). These landscapes are important to a city because they reveal the influence that humans have had on the natural environment in addition to how they continue to interact with these land- scapes. It is significant to learn about and understand the cultural landscapes of a city because they are part of the city’s history. The purpose of this What’s Out There Guide-Toronto is to identify and raise public awareness of significant landscapes within the City of Toron- to. This guide sets out the details of a variety of cultural landscapes that are located within the City and offers readers with key information pertaining to landscape types, styles, designers, and the history of landscape, including how it has changed overtime.
