Sports and Fitness- A NELSON THOMSON LANGUAGE ARTS INFOREAD TITLE: It's Up To Me
- DURHAM BUSINESS TIMES: Beautiful Game, Big Business: What’s Canada’s biggest participation sport? Hockey? Baseball?
Try soccer. And why not? All you need is cleats, shin pads, a soccer ball and a little patch of green.
- DURHAM PARENT Trail Tales: A bird in the hand ...: “Note to self: bring LOTS of sunflower seeds next time.”
- DURHAM PARENT Trail Tales: A peaceful walk in the snow: The first snow of the year had fallen in Whitby. Not enough to take seriously; it barely covered the ground. We hoped we’d find more snow at Long Sault, where we planned to hike.
- DURHAM PARENT Trail Tales: Discover Darlington's Hidden Jewel: Out of sight on the grounds of Darlington Nuclear Generating Station, lies a hidden jewel, a link on the Waterfront Trail.
- DURHAM PARENT Trail Tales: Enjoy a Greenwood Getaway this summer: Bring a net, pack a lunch and you’re good for the day at Greenwood Conservation Area in Ajax.
- DURHAM PARENT Trail Tales: Explore Brooklin's Lion Trail: The Brooklin Lions Wilderness Trail is short but sweet.
- DURHAM PARENT Trail Tales: Explore Whitby's Waterfront: On a Sunday far too balmy for late October, my daughter and I bundled our bikes into the van and headed for the Whitby Waterfront Trail.
- DURHAM PARENT Trail Tales: Exploring Walker Woods
: “Did you see all the warblers?” shouted the cyclist pedaling toward us.
- DURHAM PARENT Trail Tales: Getting Down at Heber Down: Kids and creeks go together like peanut butter and jam.
- DURHAM PARENT Trail Tales: Stay all day at Petticoat Creek: Buried at the bottom of White’s Road in Pickering is a 1.5 acre outdoor swimming pool, the largest in Ontario.
- DURHAM PARENT Trail Tales: Take time to explore Purple Woods: “What do you call those tennis racket things that you put on your feet?” Alison asked.
“Snowshoes?”
“Yeah, snowshoes. They’d sure come in handy today.”
- DURHAM PARENT: Discover Lynde Shores: Lynde Shores is a zoo without bars. On our last visit, within minutes of parking the car, my children had already spotted a gaggle of Canada geese, a pair of swans, mallards galore and - for the very first time - a muskrat, industriously paddling by, not two metres from shore. The kids grabbed a great view of the muskrat's slicked-down fur and bright black eyes when he took a breather on the bank right below our feet.
- DURHAM PARENT: Doggone Family Fun: Guess where you’ll find one of the best dog sled racing events in Canada. If you said British Columbia, think east. If you guessed the Yukon, head south. You didn’t think of Durham Region, eh?
- DURHAM PARENT: Durham Forest Comes Alive: Autumn's first flush had flamed the treetops when we hiked Durham Forest a couple of weeks ago. Imagine what a show we'll see by mid-October, I told my daughter.
- DURHAM TRADE AND COMMERCE: You Do What? A Trio of One-of-a-Kind Entrepreneurs: Where does the germ of a business idea sprout from? Peter Miller of Essential Communications knows. He’s the program coordinator for Durham’s Self-Employment Benefit program, a federally-funded training ground for entrepreneurs.
- HEALTHCARE CAREERS EXPRESS: Sports Medicine -- Keeping athletes in the game : …And the Maple Leafs have the puck… Sundin races down the ice… McGrattan cuts in to intercept ... And just hammers Sundin into the boards!
- INSIDE SOCCER: The Sky's the Limit: The Durham Region Soccer Association Referee Academy
- LIVE IT!: Fat Chance: Today’s children face a deadly epidemic. It’s not caused by a virus or a bacillus or a genetic mutation. It requires no pharmaceutical intervention or vaccination – it’s eminently curable. Nonetheless, this generation of children threatens to be the first in recent history with a shorter lifespan than their parents. What can be done to protect our children?
- TORONTO SUN: Scoring a Room with a View: The view from Adnan Virk’s Yonge and Sheppard condo is spectacular. From his box-seat vista on the twentieth-floor, Yonge Street leads straight into the sporting heart of Toronto: to Rogers Centre, home base for the Jays and Argos; the Air Canada Centre, where the Leafs and Raptors play; and the downtown television studios of The Score where the sportscaster works.
