Home Grown Hospitality in Haliburton Ontario


This past week spent  in Haliburton County has demonstrated some of the finest hospitality I have ever experienced. A combination of  two tours "Gems beneath your boots", and a test run on a new hands-on Pottery Tour both organized by Barrie Martin of Yours Outdoors.  Both tours were 'experiential' and hands on.  The tours reflected the culture, natural history and sincere hospitality of the Haliburton community.

One of my favorite road trips is between the Kawarthas and  Haliburton with a combination of day road trips and family fun cottage experiences. More on Haliburton Ontario.

Ontario Canada as a Prime Eco Tourism Destination

One of Ontario’s leading natural tourist attractions and environmental education facilities The Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre was the host to a Ministry of Natural Resources announcement this past week. The Wye Marsh has developed winter snowshoeing and summer canoe Eco tours. The announcement concerned the awarding of more than ¼ of a million dollars from the Species at Risk Stewardship Fund to 10 volunteer projects located north of Toronto. The recipients included a number of regions across Ontario from Georgian Bay to Haliburton and the Kawarthas. Each of the regions offer significant (Photo: Wye Marsh Docks and Canoes) outdoor recreational activities, many of which are dependent upon clean fresh water, and a healthy environment. In order to appreciate the environment and what an endangered species might look like, it ii imperative to have a sound education program. The MNR has taken a significant step forward in identification and support for our environment. A secondary but equally important aspect of this funding is economic, as it will indirectly support of the expanding Eco Tourism industry.
