OOntario's Greenbelt Is More than Just the Great Outdoors
ntario’s Greenbelt is the world’s largest greenbelt, encompassing over two million acres of protected land including farmland, forests, wetlands, rivers, and lakes. It is home to unique wildlife, acts as a primary source of local food and agriculture, and safeguards vital resources that keep Ontario’s air and water clean. It’s also a region ripe for adventure, with year-round opportunities for outdoor recreation and it’s on the doorstep of millions of Ontarians living around the Greater Golden Horseshoe.
Since 2005, the Greenbelt Foundation has worked to ensure the Greenbelt remains permanent, protected, and prosperous. Through this mission, it encourages Ontarians to better understand and utilize the incredible benefits the Greenbelt has to offer — not just economically, but recreationally.
“Access to greenspace has a positive impact on the health of a population,” says Edward McDonnell, CEO of the Greenbelt Foundation, “As Ontario continues to grow, accessible and equitable access to outdoor recreation only becomes more important.”
Taking advantage of the season Summer offers the perfect opportunity for Canadians to take advantage of the Greenbelt, especially as an accessible way to tap into the physical and mental health benefits afforded by nature.
Beyond the clear physical benefits gained through common Greenbelt activities — hiking, swimming, cycling — a visit to the Greenbelt could also be considered a one-way ticket to a better mood overall. Studies have shown the incredible psychological advantages of spending time in nature, from improved sleep to reduced stress levels. Of course, when work feels all consuming, committing to spending time outdoors can also engineer a better work-life balance, further contributing to improved mental health.
“Not only does the Greenbelt have iconic areas to explore, but it also happens to be next to the largest population center in the country,” says McDonnell. “There are opportunities to enjoy activities year round while supporting its many local communities.”
Adventure awaits For those looking to plan their
own Ontario adventure, the Greenbelt’s many access points offer the perfect backdrop for some of the prov ince’s most scenic hikes, biking trails, and beaches. For those who need a little extra guidance on how to utilize the area to its full potential, Greenbelt-based regional recreation operators offer guided activities perfect for individuals and families.
EcoAdventures is just one example of this, offering a variety of seasonal ‘adventures’ like guided hiking tours, beach cave exploration, even outdoor escape rooms, all set amidst the forests, wetlands, and seascapes around the Bruce Peninsula. “Our tagline is play, learn, make a difference,” says Mike Sehl, EcoAdventures Board Member. “We want to make the community ambassadors for the area.”
With so much to explore, the Greenbelt is the perfect summer escape for the entire family. With each visit comes a new chance to experience the magic of nature firsthand — all without having to pack an overnight bag.

Ever wonder what it’s like to get up close and personal with some of your favourite Toronto Zoo animals? Here’s your chance with some exciting behind-the-scenes Wild Encounters tours! Not only do these tours give you a closer look at some of the zoo’s incredible animals, they’re also the perfect opportunity to spend time with the passionate Wildlife Care staff, who can answer your questions and explain how the animals are cared for.

When the Toronto Zoo first opened its doors in 1974, it was considered the most innovative and forward-thinking zoo in the world. Now, 50 years later, the Toronto Zoo is a recognized leader in advancing knowledge about wildlife and how animals interact with their environments. The role of accredited zoos has evolved. Connecting people, animals and conservation science to fight extinction is the zoo’s mission, but it can’t do it alone. The Toronto Zoo invites community and guests to join in becoming Guardians of Wild as it looks to create positive and lasting change over the next 50 years.
Perfect Summer Wines? They’re Coming from Pelee Island
Pelee Island Winery makes some of Ontario’s most popular wines, which are incredibly high in quality, flavourful, and sustainably made.
Katherine Cappellacci
With over 700 acres of vineyards located at Canada’s southernmost point, Pelee Island Winery is the largest privately owned estate winery in the country. A unique microclimate in the country’s warmest grape-growing region, its vineyards benefit from longer, sunnier days and warmer temperatures. Built on the shoulders of the island’s 150-year winemaking history, Pelee Island Winery has become a household name thanks to its approachable and delicious wine catalogue.
The first grapes were planted on Pelee Island in the 1850s. Wine-making began shortly after, with Villa Vineyards being established in 1868. These bottles gained cross-country popularity and even made it to Europe before the turn of the 20th century. Then in 1979, Walter Strehn purchased 150 acres on Pelee Island with the intention of renewing the area’s viticulture, which turned out to be a massive success.
Keeping operations green
The winery has grown exponentially over the last 45 years — with the Kingsville location opening in 1983, its 1998-1999 LCBO Supplier of the Year Award, 2009’s first organic vines, and the winery growing to 700 acres in 2019.
What sets the winery apart is its dedication to environmental sustainability. Because it has sole control over its grape supply, it’s able to provide specialized care to every vine. The winery’s team goes above and beyond, meeting the World Wildlife Fund’s strict sustainability outlines in vineyard growing practices and integrated pest management. They limit their pesticide use and use natural, 100 per cent island-grown fertilizer.
active environmental practices such as the use of renewable energies (both solar panels and wind), composting, bio-dynamic sewage systems, and more, Pelee Island Winery strives to lead the way in eco-friendly operations.
“Sustainability is an important part of our history and the key to our future,” says Managing Director Annemarie Heikenwälder. “We take care of our island so it will take care of us. It’s a big reason we can continue to produce high-quality wines that taste great.” Consumers seem to agree, as Pelee Island Winery wines maintain a longstanding, nationwide popularity that just keeps growing.
Lots to love about Lola This is especially true of its Lola col lection. With eye-catching floral labels and a whimsically memorable name, these wines have become some of its most popular summer sippers.
We take care of our island so it will take care of us. It’s a big reason we can continue to produce highquality wines that taste great.
“We try to be sustainable throughout every step of our winemaking process,” says Pelee Island Winery winemaker Tim Charisse, “particularly with water usage, which is a big part of making wine. We use as little as possible and adhere to precise management techniques for water treatment.” And the team uses minimal product packaging, all of which is recyclable.
From grape to glass
Pelee Island Winery has been certified by Sustainable Winegrowing Ontario, meaning its practices have been audited and approved to be sustainable throughout the entire grape to glass cycle. In addition, it has established a stewardship for the surrounding island’s distinct forests. Its restoration efforts have allowed for new ecological growth and have helped to preserve their unique microclimate for generations to come. Through this and other pro -
“We wanted to create something fun, fruity, and very delicious, and that was the Lola Blush Sparkling Rosé,” says Charisse. With hints of blood orange and strawberry flavours, it quickly became a favourite. It now also comes in Lola Light, featuring less calories and lower alcohol content.
Another noteworthy wine is the light and crisp Lola Pinot Grigio. A blend of chardonnay and pinot grigio varietals, it’s a refreshing, citrusy white wine with green apple, lime, lemon, and honeysuckle flavours.
Along with the 750-milliletre size, the Lola wines are also available in 250-milliletre recyclable aluminum bottles. “We wanted to take our accessibility a step further by offering a smaller, portable, resealable option,” says Heikenwälder. “Now they can be brought along on any adventure.”
Buy them everywhere
Very approachable in taste, Lola wines are perfect, easy-to-enjoy summer drinks. Along with all Pelee Island wines, they’re readily available across the country for pickup or delivery from local liquor stores and online. They’re also exported around the world to Japan, Taiwan, the U.K., Denmark, and beyond.
Pelee Island Winery has two locations — the mainland Kingsville Winery and the Pelee Island Winery Pavilion, which shares the same longitude as northern California. “The island is such an incredibly unique place to visit. It feels like you’re in a different world altogether — the islanders call it ‘island time,’” says Heikenwälder. She mentions that along with visiting the winery, tourists can explore vast nature trails, dine at great restaurants, visit the butterfly sanctuary, and much more. “It’s not surprising that Pelee Island was home to Canada’s first vineyards,” she says. “It’s a natural oasis with an ideal grape-growing climate.”

Deerhurst Resort Is Canada’s Top Family-Friendly Spot This Summer
Deerhurst Resort remains a top vacation spot for families looking to spend some “we time” together in Muskoka. Janice Tober
Many of us have visions of an idyllic summer vacation modelled after the famous resort in the 1987 film, Dirty Dancing. A resort filled with activities and entertainment that every family member can enjoy promises to be the best summer vacation ever.
Luckily, Canada has its own iconic family vacation destination in the venerable Deerhurst Resort, located in Ontario’s Muskoka region.
We asked Andrew Buwalda, Deerhurst Resort’s general manager, what’s on tap this summer and how the resort ticks all the boxes when it comes to having a great family vacation.
What makes the resort such a great playground for families?
Deerhurst is comprised of over 760 acres of outdoor adventure. The list of amenities is long, but what really sets us apart is our team's ability to help families build core memories together. A lot of connection can be found learning to paddle together or just by taking a much-needed digital detox beachside.
What sort of activities can a family do together?
Almost all our activities can be done solo or as a family. We’ve got it all, from more leisurely outdoor pursuits like hiking, paddling, swimming, or gathering around a campfire, to adrenaline charged watersports, mountain biking, treetop trekking, and paintball. For the family who likes a little competition, families can play a round of golf, a game of tennis, pickleball, basketball, or a tournament of lawn games — and that’s not even all of it. There really is never a dull moment at Deerhurst.

Take an Enriching, Indigenous-Led Tour of Canada’s Breathtaking Nature
Exploring Canada’s stunning natural landscapes with an Indigenous-led tour this summer can offer a unique and enriching experience.
With summer around the corner, why not take time to go outside and experience the best our country has to offer to all Canadians?
Summer is a time of increased energy and possibilities. The daylight hours last longer, going outside one’s home is much easier, and the spring in the step we see in most people seems to be contagious. It’s the perfect time of year to experience what Canada is known for internationally: its natural spaces.
A gift that keeps on giving However, for many, going outside even in the summer can be intimidating. The place you visit can feel like a random mix of green, brown, yellow, blue, and other hues. Going to a new place in nature can feel scary. It’s not uncommon for the weather to change, turning a pleasant walk into an “I wish I was anywhere else but here” moment. Finally, with the increased number of people going into natural spaces, it can sometimes feel like you join a group of people who end up damaging the environment because of your collective impact.
Nonetheless, Canada’s world-class nature is a gift that keeps on giving. It’s not only a great item for your bucket list — time outside also fills up your buckets of physical and emotional well-being, quality time with those you share the experience with, and a personal connection to the land.
Exploring Canada’s natural beauty
An easy way to overcome the challenges
linked with going out in nature is to work with a professional Indigenous tour operator. Explor ing Canada’s natural beauty through authentic Indigenous-led experiences offers a unique and enriching journey, deeply rooted in respect for the environment and Indigenous cultures. When looking for such authen tic experiences, you’ll want to be looking for operators who are accredited under The Original Original standard set by the Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada. Original Original Indigenous tourism operators such as Thrive Tours, located in Batchewana First Nation, Ont., excel in crafting these experiences, emphasizing eco-friendly practices and a profound connection with the land. Their offerings range from kayaking and canoeing to cultural wellness retreats, all designed to immerse guests in the teachings and traditions of Indigenous Peoples. This approach fosters a deeper understanding and appreciation of the natural world and the rich heritage that has stewarded it for generations.
Engaging with the land meaningfully Choosing operators like Thrive Tours means embarking on more than just an outdoor adventure — it’s an opportunity to engage with the land in a meaningful way, guided by the principles of sustain-
ability and respect. It’s a chance to fill your bucket with not only the sights and sounds of Canada’s stunning landscapes but also the stories, wisdom, and spirit of the Indigenous cultures that have been stewarding this land for thousands of years.

Indigenous tour operators like Thrive Tours provide high-quality, authentic experiences. To find a provider near you, you can contact the Indigenous Tourism Association in your province.
