Sunday Drive

When I was a little girl my father took the whole family for a Sunday drive. I loved these Sunday drives. My husband now takes me for drives.

Here is a slideshow of our last drive. This is beautiful Dundas Ontario. Turn on your sound.

Tell the City Your Vision for Our Parks

Tell the City YOUR VISION

Would you BORROW $1.4 Million to ice skate outdoors 12 weeks a year? The City plans to build a $2 Million outdoor ice skating trail, paving 13,000 sq. feet of treed parkland in Col. Samuel Smith Park, a passive, environmentally sensitive park with wildlife and their habitat.

We don’t have enough parkland. Do we want to pave a unique park where our children can experience nature and wildlife, including threatened species? Do we need another place to skate? The City wants to CLOSE Recreation Centres and Pools and RAISE recreation fees. We need new playground equipment. We need a community centre. Is this a good use of our money?

What is your vision for our parks?

Reduce unwanted, unaddressed mail

We do not like to spend our time sifting through piles of unwanted and unaddressed mail. We also do not like the burden the discarded mail puts on our planet. We recently found websites that give options to reduce unwanted and unaddressed mail.

The Canadian Marketing Association's Do Not Contact Service enables individuals to reduce the number of marketing offers they receive by mail, telephone and fax. Consumers register to have their names removed from marketing lists held by members of the Canadian Marketing Association.

The Red Dot Campaign is a website that emphasizes Canada Posts, 10 year old eco-friendly Consumer Choice option that reduces waste and clutter. All you need to do is put a “No Admail” or “No Junk Mail” sign on your mailbox. For more information see the Red Dot Campaign website.

UPDATE: It works. The "NO JUNK MAIL" poster obtained from the Red Dot Campaign website stopped the junk mail. You have to tape the poster directly on your mailbox though.
