I’ve recently posted a blog item for the Toronto Walks Blog of the Jane’s Walk website. I’ve enjoyed writing this item, because it enables a person to consider the broader issues of interest to anybody who lives close to the Lake Ontario shoreline – in Mississauga, Toronto, or anywhere else along this or any other […]
I support Peter Milczyn as the Liberal party candidate in Etobicoke-Lakeshore. I agree with his choice of transit infrastructure as the key issue heading to the polls next month. As he noted in May 8, 2014 news article (p. 11) in the print version of the Etobicoke Guardian: “We’ve lost so many decades of not […]
As you may have noticed, the links at our website are now in bold. Walden Design has made this change after I had received comments from time to time that, in some cases, the links were hard to pick out from the rest of the text. As a result of the changes we have made, […]
I was delighted to view an archival aerial photo that Peter Halliday has let us know about, in a comment at a previous post about Raimbault Creek in Cartierville.

A question that came up during the May 3, 2014 Jane’s Walk in Long Branch concerned the location of the proposed Bike Skills Park at Marie Curtis Park. I’ve posted the map at the end of this post. Background information about the Marie Curtis Park Bike Park proposal can be found at a City of […]
Our May 4, 2014 Jane’s Walk in Long Branch went beautifully – as has been the case with each of our Jane’s Walks in this neighbourhood in South Etobicoke on the Lake Ontario shoreline starting with the first one on May 6, 2012.
