Hey, Just before May 24 I noticed there is quite a bit of graffiti on the beach trail (not the nice kind either, just tags and random vandalism like spraying over garbage bins and information boards). I have never seen that here before. Seems it just couple random guys though (same red/black...

I was walking yesterday, and I noticed many dead long-tailed ducks scattering the area between path and the lake. I have probably seen like a dozen or more, and I was not really looking for them. Do you know why this happened? Is that like a natural occurrence, due to bird migration or quality...

If you are interested, Beach Canal Lighthouse Group actually has a website: http://www.bclg.ca/ I was able to connect with some members through it, and join a meeting.

I noticed that last few days they have been cutting trees between trail and lake (where power lines are). I talked to one of the guys in Hydro One truck today, and they said that it is basically because of the power lines. It is quite sad, as they cleared, a lot of trees - some of them old and...

I go sometimes in the evening for a jog or a walk on the beach trail. When it gets dark, I can sometime see (there were lots of them today) some bird shapes flying around. It is too dark to identify them, but they fly in quite erratic manner, often in the circles, and with sudden changes of...

I just wanted check on this forum, as I assume many posters are members of HBRU. I stopped by the ham roll last week, it seemed pretty cool. Do you know if these guys need any volunteer help, and if they do, with what? It seems really cool, what they are doing. Thanks, Sebastian

Hi there, We are building a new house on the bay side close to the convenience store. There always seemed to be passage by the convenience store to the beach trail, which seemed pretty handy as there is no another access nearby. I thought initially that it is a public access to the trail (it...

Hi there, I've been living in the area for six months now, I could not help but notice that my cellphone reception (I am with Fido) is pretty bad. Not a very big deal, but still I was wondering, is it all the networks that are fairly weak in the area - or there are some providers that work...
