This week, I met my teacher candidates in my two courses – Outdoor Education and Foundations III. We had a lot of fun connecting and creating an environment for amazing learning. This is the final term for these students as they look forward to their journey in education. #OT_FED

Sunrise on Copper Lake in the Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park. What picture doesn't tell you was the heat exhaustion, rehydration, and cooling breaks we had to take to get to our campsite. #canoeing

It was a lot of fun to kick off the Nature TRek (Therapeutic Recreation) program at the @AbilitiesCentre. Finding north, map reading, and nature games were enjoyed by both participants and staff. Nature is the best therapy.

It's another wrap. It was a pleasure to teach the Outdoor Pursuits students at Sinclair S.S. in Whitby. In addition to their high school credits, they earned a Field Studies credit from #FlemingCollege. #DDSB #outdoorlearning

Proud to partner with @ParksCanada for today's announcement of the transfer of 100+ hectares of TRCA land to expand Rouge National Urban Park! 🌳 This addition in Duffins Rouge connects critical wildlife corridors and supports ecological health, water management, and flood prevention. Together we're protecting and enhancing urban natural spaces!
At a #canoeing workshop, I met former @OT_FED #outdooreducation students who are now teachers with #DDSB. 😀
'Lest we forget.' Thank you to those who served and currently serve. #RemembanceDay #CanadaRemembers

We had a wonderful #canoeing trip in #AlgonquinPark. After a cool, wet day, we hit the sweet spot with the weather and arboreal splendor.
