Visitors will also find demonstrations of spinning, hearth cooking, and quilting. The butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker prove how modern life may feel busier than ever, but in may ways, we have it easy."

"Located within the headwaters of the Don and Humber Rivers, this is a great park to get back to nature without having to go that far as it's south of Rutherford Road. Key highlights include a steep-sided Humber River Valley and big hill that gives you gorgeous view points of the Humber River. The park is great for picnics with quite a number of areas to set up which makes it great for families."

"This is a gorgeous loop trail that runs alongside the Humber River that's called the Riverwalk. The Riverwalk loop is well-maintained, paved, and lit. It's an easy trail with moderate inclination."
