Park-To-Park Trail is a regional initiative to create a 230 km east-west recreation trail through Parry Sound, Muskoka, and Haliburton. The route will connect several provincial parks, communities and ammenities to provide trail users with an unforgetable trail experience. As a link in the Trans Canada Trail, the P2P trail is intended to be a "shared-use" network with such uses as hiking, cycling, cross country-skiing, snowmobiling, horseback riding, dog sledding and ATVing.

The Waldorf curriculum promotes well-rounded development in children by exposing them to a wide variety of subjects using an interdisciplinary approach that complements the students natural abilities. Waldorf education allows for a meaningful learning process by engaging the whole child. The children develop their thinking and feeling, and a sense of purpose. We believe that through a gradual unfolding children enjoy childhood, preserve the joy of curious exploration and experience the deep satisfaction of skillful doing. We offer a learning community devoted to peacefully educating children within a non-competitive, arts enriched, academic curriculum and strive to inspire others.

VOKRA is a no-kill, non-profit, registered charity dedicated to the rescue of cats in the Lower Mainland. VOKRA does not have a shelter. Instead, we provide over 100 individual foster homes throughout the Lower Mainland. In a home environment, our cats are safe and receive lots of love and attention. VOKRA covers all costs and provides ongoing support to foster families. VOKRA's Trap-Neuter-Return team humanely traps feral cats and kittens. Pregnant feral mothers are cared for through birthing and weaning, at which time we spay the mother and socialize the kittens. If the mother cannot be tamed, she is returned to a location where volunteers ensure food and water are available daily, and the cat’s health can be monitored. We also neuter feral male cats, and either adopt them out or release them as appropriate, with the same care arrangements. VOKRA rescued over 1,420 felines in 2009. VOKRA has no paid staff. We are 100% volunteer. Website: www.vokra.ca

Commemorating the sacrifice made by our veterans in the Battle of Hong Kong, and continuing their struggle to ensure that their sacrifice is never forgotten. The HKVCA has five branches across Canada and has a membership of about 800. Our source of funds includes membership fees as well as donations. Activities include the preparation and distribution of newsletters as a method of informative communication. We also lay wreaths at public ceremonies as expressions of respect for our veterans, distribute books to educate others of our veterans' stories, prepare & distribute booklets for schools as teaching aids to tell our story, maintain a website as an informative resource on the Battle of Hong Kong, erect plaques and grave markers to honour our vets. A longer term project now completed is the erection of a Memorial Wall in Ottawa with the names of all those who fought in 'C' Force in that Hong Kong Battle.
