When summer started, invasive European water chestnut was all over the Welland River in Ontario's Niagara Region. A team spent the summer yanking it by hand.

Feb 26, 2021 The normal winter behavior for most people has changed considerably during the past three months. As winter enters its final official days and the pandemic officially turns one year old, more people than usual have been cross-country skiing in the absence of the usual seasonal hockey and curling leagues.
Ski-Vent-Clic maintains 4.4 miles/17 kilometers of cross-country ski trails that form a circuit with various loops around the town of Vankleek Hill in the eastern part of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell. Volunteers maintain all the trails, which are almost entirely on private land that property owners have given permission to the club to use.
