In the early 1920s, Upper Canada College acquired land in the small village of Norval, just outside Georgetown, ON, with hopes to relocate their boarding school to the country. But in the years following the First World War, expansion was out of the question.

For many decades after, students travelled to Norval to camp, learn survival skills, and plant trees.

Hilton Falls Conservation Area in Milton, Ontario hosted another successful Annual Trail Maintenance day with 40+ people volunteering their sweat equity into rejuvenating the trails they love.

Hilton Falls, under the stewardship of Conservation Halton, is one of two parks that offers world class mountain biking along the Niagara Escarpment. Staff at the park developed a detailed work plan for the day, with multiple teams dedicated to projects that ranged from simple pruning to advanced bridge building and repair.

It's finally spring! And spring in Ontario means visiting the Toronto International Bicycling Show.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Show last weekend -- we had a great time visiting with long time members and meeting new supporters! All in all, the weekend was a great success with many new members signed up, helping us to build more trails in Canada!

Now, if only the trails will dry out.
