Horseback riding, trap shooting, skiing, fishing, and that kind of thing. A site that gives me something to do on the weekends when I'm in the mood for an activity.

#16Cool landing page (I like how the pictures are localized) I have a few ways, they are pretty specific to Toronto but I'll mention them anyway so you get the idea. 1) Redflagdeals.com - this is my primary source as it is the largest forum in Canada (with a huge center around Toronto).

No problem... P.s. I'd love to help add some things if you'd like, as I'm the "planner" of my group! Make sure you have things a bit north too (Tree Top Trekking, zip lines, old steam train, steam ship cruises, etc - I split my time between the city & Barrie )
