There are telltale signs of fall’s arrival – leaves starting to change colour, a touch of chill in the air. Autumn in Ontario is a great season to enjoy being outdoors. A return to school and work for many of us, makes weekends a fantastic time to do things together.
The City of Pickering offers a great example of destinations suitable for friends and family, from the magnificent Rouge National Urban Park with trails for hiking and spotting birds and wildlife along the way, to paying a visit to the Nautical Village on Lake Ontario’s waterfront.
Looking to get in some fall fishing? Durham Region has published a list of some of the best fishing areas at durham.ca.
Central Ontario is a great place to live and experience the outdoors. Enjoy this season and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
