July Long Weekend 2010

This is Simon and I at Plastic Welding in Belleville Ontario. This is Gramma Shay's and Poppa Bob's property and home based business. They're located on the south side of the Moira River on Hwy 62, just south of Foxboro.
It is getting close to the 143rd Birthday of my homeland. Canada Day is important to me as the history of Canada tells stories of growth, change, challenges and victories of the people who built homesteads that grew into vibrant centres from which we enjoy so many luxuries. Our region celebrates Canada Day with spectular night sky images and active afternoon activities. Huntsville Ontario comes alive with music and eats, tours and treats. Just south of us in the village of Dorset on Big Trading Bay an impressive evening of fireworks can be seen from the patio at the Fiery Grill Bar and Bistro on the waterfront. Every town in Ontario will show it's affection for it's Country, but mine will boast it's greatness from the steps of the New World Summit Centre on the shores of the Lake of Bays. There's room for you too. Send an email and I hope to see you soon. Happy Canada Day from us in the Village of Dwight. atrailsresort@sympatico.ca

Road Trip / G8 Summit


The G8 Summit has come and gone. The park was extremely quiet without incident as Dan managed it without his family. The three of us went on a road trip to see the fun things near my school, Trent U. Mommy needed some baby time since returning from her first three semesters at Trent University. The kids had a blast for the 5 days we stayed away from the World Summit. Huntsville transformed into a festival of security. All law enforcement and military were serious but very friendly and in good spirits. I am happy to report that many of them liked our Lake of Bays region enough to make their own camping reservations with us. Thanks to all the Canadian Support people who maintained a vigilant front in the name of prevention. Take care and see you soon!
