View from McLaughlin Road looking southerly. When I posted this photo, I stated that "the rail line running south is in active use by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) and the concrete slab serves as a dismount platform", but meafordsub says that service was discontinued in 2004, and I bow to his greater knowledge. The Caledon Trailway, a decommissioned CNR rail line, follows the pole line, which in Canada we call a hydro line since in the past most of our electricity was water generated. This portion of the Caledon Trailway to the southwest of McLaughlin Road is not contiguous with the Trans Canada Trail, which follows McLaughlin Road northwesterly.

"The official Seguin Trail runs from Fern Glen, which is several kilometres west of highway 11, to Highway 400 (formerly 69) in the west. With a little effort and keen eyes, the trail can be followed from Algonquin Provincial Park in the east, to the ghost town of Depot Harbour in the west."
"This 80 km section is the best known section of the [230 km] Park to Park trail network. Following the historic route of the Ottawa, Arnprior & Parry Sound Railway (later part of the Canada Atlantic Railway) built by J.R. Booth, this section of trail stretches from just west of Highway 400 to the Wall’s Junction where the trail splits. This section of trail is one of the more adventurous segment, with a rough, dirt surfacing and the occasional puddle. This section of trail is owned and managed by the Park to Park Trail Association."

A winding path on the Cookstown section of the Trans Canada Trail in Ontario. It was one of my favourite sections on the trail with the closely spaced trees on both sides being a nice touch.

"The idea and image of the European hunter and/or naturalist on expedition in the heartland of a foreign continent lives on in the costume of the safari explorer as bedecked in khakis, pith helmets, and multi-pocketed vests. The safari expeditionist would wear the muted beige and brown or olive colors in their clothing to better camouflage themselves in their environs during an African safari and the helmets, shaped from the light weight core (pith) of a particular tree, would protect them from sun and water exposure. As the European explorers ventured into new territory with their safari expeditions they also documented and glorified their discoveries in record-keeping and literature that found its way back to the continent in ways that would ingrain themselves in the European imagination. Even though we may not wear the same costume in our contemporary expeditions being the global travelers that we are, the image of the safari traveler is an endearing one that still has resonance. "

"Highly innovative when they were designed in the 1960s by Bertrand Goldbert, the 61-story twin towers with semicircular balconies are part of a multiuse complex of residences, parking, marina, restaurant, theatre, shops, and hotel." - Official Architecture River Cruise Tour Guide
Hiking on the Cookstown Ontario section of the Trans Canada Trail near lush green backgrounds of trees and shrubs. There is also some small rivers passing by and as you can see a bridge that added to the wonderful trail experience.

This wonderful multiuse path runs along the Georgetown and Brampton GO Train corridor, from north of Dupont Street, to Bloor Street, and south to Dundas West. It's a wonderful addition to west Toronto. A proposed extension will take this down to Liberty Village, and a bike path into downtown Toronto.

TITLE: Rebuild Urban Core
DESIGN PRINCIPLES:
1.Reduce Sprawl-concentrate people, housing and jobs within developed areas-keeping a balance of uses.
2.Public transportation-increase public transportation routes, cross county routes, deterrent times during DOT= less attractive to drive single cars. Incentivize ridership.
3.Defragment existing infrastructure, authorities and government agencies.
4.Conserve remaining farmland-moratorium on land zoned agricultural-establish right to farm within suburban and urban communities
5.Revitalize, rehabilitate, reimagine, rebuild urban core.
NOTES:
-Connected multiuse trail along Lake Erie and Niagara River to Lake Ontario.
-Establish multiuse trails along existing rail, pipeline, and electrical transmission corridors to connect neighborhoods to a regional trail system.
For years, Lovers Key was accessible only by boat and it was said that only lovers traveled to the island to enjoy its remote and solitary beach. Today, it is one of four barrier islands that make up this state park. A haven for wildlife, the islands and their waters are home to West Indian manatees, bottlenose dolphins, roseate spoonbills, marsh rabbits, and bald eagles. The two mile long beach is accessible by boardwalk or tram and is popular for shelling, swimming, picnicking, and sunbathing. Black Island has over five miles of multiuse trails for hiking and bicycling. Anglers and boaters can launch their vessels from the park's boat ramp. The park's concession offers boat and fishing tours, as well as bicycle, canoe and kayak
