“Why booking an Ontario Parks site has become a nightmare for campers” - archived Toronto Star item

Of possible interest; lots of pictures in this one - https://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/wellness/fitness/article-hiking-with-friends-nature-friendship-fitness
 

After checking that it monitored small town media, I asked Google's A.I. module, called "Gemini", for its take on the bear scene. The links that the A.I. returned were to stuff like CTV News and the CBC; I've included a couple of them, chosen at random. Note that Boardhost did not "smoothly"  accept Gemini's "stock" output and despite my best efforts I can see BBCode in my post... sorry about that. Even funkier, I am using Mozilla Firefox in Windows 10 and there is now a Gemini overlay between my screen and Boardhost!

Remember that A.I.'s can make mistakes.  - Roman

Sault Ste. Marie Bear Attack Marks a Serious Incident
Otherwise, a Quiet Year for Bear Encounters in Algonquin Park

A harrowing black bear attack in Sault Ste. Marie in late August has been the most significant and widely reported incident of its kind in Ontario this year. The event, which sent two women to the hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, stands in contrast to a relatively uneventful year for aggressive bear encounters within Algonquin Provincial Park.

Campers needed to be flown out, from Kiosk? Wow!

I didn't see the original (now gone?) calendar, but on a vaguely related note my technical helper (on my bulletin board experiments) recommended I should try Google's on-line "calendar" program. Here's a sample screen -

Notes: yesterday was of course "Group of Seven Day" in Ontario, and many will remember today (July 8) as the anniversary of Tom Thomson's death. The "Council of the Federation" thing happens in Huntsville; I actually had to ask Google what it was about -

When it comes to calendars I am a traditionalist. I *do* make rasterized art, sometimes using vector tools like Corel Draw, but hard copy is definitely my game. A vague sample of a rasterized calender is posted to my pages at https://25problems.com/app.php/calendar

In designing calendars my main interest is functionality. I'm from a time before computers though and I enjoy physical, hang 'em up calendars the most.

It's a bit disappointing to see that FOAP does not actually show the full 2026 calendar, on their web page! Hopefully it has large square for dates, allowing a purchaser to make notes etc. 

As far as the government's web pages go I have not investigated whether or not Google's calendar can export nicely to a file that you could print and take with you? I only started working with it a few months ago.

For my own use I have designed a large generic calendar based on Brownline's monthly layouts, that prints nicely and I can scrawl and highlight all over it. I invite correspondence on this topic. Roman Bo

I can't imagine paddling on Kioshkowi alone.

Great pics.
