Orchard Heights Park (Winter, 2011)

Filmed some 40 years ago in Ontario, Alberta and Finland, This is Cross-Country! is somewhat dated but still a motivational and technical "refresher" to a stimulating winter activity ... 😉

Aside from slush and grass coming through in spots, the 5cm of snow in Orchard Heights Park provided just enough incentive to get out on the skinny skiis for a few loops in the bright afternoon sunshine ...

HELLO, City of Mississauga Mayor Crombie and councillors ??? "According to Mississauga's 2018 Cycling Master Plan, the city had 51 kilometers of bike lanes with plans to add another 56 in coming years ... 🤔🙄 This compares to ~587 kilometers of on-street biking infrastructure in Toronto in 2018, with plans to add more than 500 kilometers as part of a ten-year plan launched in 2018." ... 🤔😮🙂👍 How to (Quickly) Build a Cycling City - Paris #OrchardHeightsPark #OrchardHeightsBridge #EtobicokeCreekTrail #DoesCyclingMoveYou  #SaugaCommunityRides    #MississaugaCyclingMasterPlan #ActiveTransportation #SafeCycling #Mississauga #walk #bike #parks #publicspace #openstreets #880Cities

Join in a discussion with Residents and Parents about promoting physical activity and active living in Orchard Heights at: http://orchardheightscommunity.wolfruck.com/viewforum.php?f=2 WHO excerpt: "Governments at the local, regional and national levels are challenged by dramatic increases in the frequency of chronic diseases, obesity and sedentary lifestyles. Physical inactivity is a major contributor to these problems. Physical activity is beneficial to health at all ages. It is especially important to the healthy development of children and young people; active ageing can make a dramatic difference to the well-being of older people. Active living also positively contributes to economic prosperity and social cohesion in cities. Taking part in physical activity increases opportunities for socialization, networking and cultural identity. Promoting physical activity requires the involvement and cooperation of all levels of government (national, regional and local), with clea

IMAGINE … if the Orchard Heights Park access road was closed year-round to random automobiles and trucks (coming from who knows where), as was favoured by a majority of residents in the straw poll posted on the OHHA FB Group Page back in June, 2021.

Car-dependent suburbs suck. But that doesn't mean that all suburbs suck. It is possible to build suburbs that don't suck, and the US and Canada used to design great suburbs all the time. But even though these pre-war suburbs are loved by many people, and in huge demand, they're illegal to build today. #OrchardHeightsPark #OrchardHeightsBridge #EtobicokeCreekTrail #DoesCyclingMoveYou  #SaugaCommunityRides    #MississaugaCyclingMasterPlan #ActiveTransportation #SafeCycling #Mississauga #walk #bike #parks #publicspace #openstreets #880Cities

Intro by Shifter:   "If your city is like mine, there have been many initiatives over the years to improve its bike-friendliness, from painted bike lanes to pathways to separated bike lanes. But if you're city is really like mine then many of those routes remain islands unto themselves, disconnected from each other and untethered to a more comprehensive plan intended to help cyclists really get around the city.  So after exploring these disconnections, I have a theory that there are four different types of disconnections that can be easily fixed to make our cities more bike-friendly. Here they are: 0:00 Introduction 1:15 Roads (pathways) to nowhere 2:30 It was too hard so we gave up 4:29 C'mon cyclists, get real 6:10 WTF Gaps 7:20 The magic that happens when gaps are filled #cycling #bike #commuting ..." #OrchardHeightsPark #OrchardHeightsBridge #EtobicokeCreekTrail #DoesCyclingMoveYou  #SaugaCommunityRides    #MississaugaCyclingMasterPlan #ActiveTransportation #SafeC

Samuel Smith Park with its expansive views from the man-made peninsula jutting out into Lake Ontario . The return leg included a side spur up the Etobicoke Creek Trail through tall Pines, Maples and
