A good way to teach young ones about water safety is to lead by example..I admit that I rarely wear a pfd but its always close by...With these incidents I will be wearing mine from now on, especially when the boat is moving..

That's by design... the locals don't want the public to fish the lake so they have the town put no parking signs up...

Sounds like a good day.. I'm on nights so I only had a brief time with my daughter and no time at all with my dad....story of my life..

Sounds like a good spot to me... fun times

I used to think the same thing until I started to go up to jelico for the moose hunt...lol

For someone from thunder bay it is...lol.. the guys from Southern ontario would beg to differ...

I also work shifts and the foam earplugs help me sleep.. living just outside the city but not on the quietest road.. mostly people coming to the door and getting the dogs barking wake me up.. why do they pick me to save?.they don't want me to answer the door after I've had a tough night..

A River Runs through it...

Poplars either get cut down or they fall down.. I mostly re plant maples in their place..

I take trees down on my property every year..no permit.. soon I will be rid of all my poplars.. and I won't miss them.. I don't know anyone who has ever gotten a permit...

That ad has been up for a while.. they don't look big enough for anything other than firewood. The guy doesn't want to pay to have them removed.. I don't think the city has any bylaws against cutting them down...

me too.. three 12 hour nights

Here at a certain steel mill in the hammer it's all about limiting company liability.. break one of their cardinal rules and you are fired.. problem with that is you need power to most machines in order for trouble shoot. That's breaking a cardinal rule... we have a procedure for everything including how to remove your safety glasses, making coffee, getting into a vehicle .never the companies fault if you get hurt.. some instances result in guys being sent for drug and alcohol testing .. yet when I send them a list of deficiencies they don't get attention.. companies based out of the state's tend to be afraid of lawsuits from their employees...

Cut,cut,cut, then raise prices.. just like the post office...

A paving permit? Wow... probably because of the number of people who paved their front lawns for parking..

They should have been out enforcing some rules at Mountsburg.. The creek was absolutely full of pike and there were up to 30 people "scooping" them out of the creek even though the season is closed.. Some volunteers from The Royal Botanical Gardens came along and removed over 1000 pike and relocated them to Cootes Paradise, with the blessing of the MNR... again, why no enforcement or charges??

Up to 30 people at time illegally scooping fish from the creek? Where is the enforcement??

I would check out the schwins that are on sale at canadian tire.. their regular prices are too high but when they are on sale they are a good value.. just make sure to check the reviews before buying anything.. my buddy is a serious rider and he even recommends them for the leisure bike people who aren't looking for something high end

HAHA... unfortunately I'm gearing up for contract year at work.. fishfarmer and spiel know the devil I'm dealing with.... high fuel prices will keep me from fishing as much as I want.....waiting for the zombie killing bullets to go on sale...

I filled all my spare cans and my truck at 1.16 on the reserve.. I heat the house with scavenged firewood and light it with LED lights.. you have to do what you have to do... next up is arming myself better for the zombie apocalypse....

Crappie spots are a closely guarded secret.. you have to do the legwork and find out where they are.... Good luck

Hamilton has built some very large underground overflow tanks that handle a lot of the excess overflow.. the incident rate is much lower than in the past. All cities should have to fix their sewage infrastructure before being able to expand urban boundaries. Our wastewater rates have gone up quite a bit but the waterways are getting dumped into less and less as a result..
