A tribute to passion
Ontario parks are deeply etched into my metaphorical being so I figured might as well etched them into my actual skin. I rediscovered my passion for the great outdoors in our expansive province, Ontario's trails and waterway bore witness to joy, tears, triumph, frustration, love, suffering and countless instances of wonder. They helped me become more confident and they humbled me, they tested and strengthened relationships, provided countless stories of dumb adventures and seeped deep into my identity.
I'm just one of millions of people who get to benefit from our vast network of parks and the amazing people who staff it, I really appreciate what we have in this province and never take it for granted. It takes funding and political will to keep it all going and that's never a guarantee. Please pay your dues, be it at the entry gate or at the voting box, consider donating time or resources, support conservation causes, pack out the garbage you inevitably find at your site, be extra nice to park staff.
