FROM

Nick Pavlov & Team

Geocaching is one of the most interesting cultural phenomenons to accompany this technological era – an organic connection between gadgets and nature. This easily becomes a favourite activity for kids and adults alike. It’s outdoors, free and fun!

Geocaching.com defines this fabulous, anytime activity as “a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location.”

Using your GPS enabled phone or your GPS device; you pick a cache to find in the area around you and head on out. There are 58 caches, just in High Park! And an estimated 44,588 geocaches in Ontario at the time this was written! They can be found anywhere around you, although parks and nature trails seem to be a popular choice.

GEOCACHING

HIGH PARK

By following the clues and co-ordinates provided to you by www.geocaching.com, you will find a “cache.” Cache’s can be anything from a large plastic container, all the way down to film canisters and fake rocks. Fortunately, you can choose the level of difficulty.

There are a few simple rules to follow once you’ve found your treasure. Many of the caches have small trinkets or items you can take home as a souvenir – but if you take something you have to leave a new item of greater or equal value (no food please!) Don’t forget to write about your find in the logbook usually found in the cache as well.

Once you’ve got a few geocaches under your belt – you can have fun creating your own for others to find. And that’s part of the beauty of geocaching – it’s a community based, community created and com-munity sustained activity.

Just for fun – if you create a cache in High Park, give us a call and let us know – we’ll head out to find it too!

HIGH PARK OUTDOOR SKATING RINK (Opens November 29th and closes February 22nd)

FREE Leisure Swim

Looking for a few things to do this winter? When you need to avoid Old Man Winter, head out to skate in High Park or pretend it’s summer by heading out for an indoor swim.

Our local indoor pools with Leisure swim are: 1. Annette Community Recreation Centre . . . . . 333 Annette St . . . . . . . . 416 392-07362. Swansea Community Recreation Centre . . . . 15 Waller Ave . . . . . . . . . . 416 392-67963. Parkdale Community Recreation Centre . . . . 75 Lansdowne Ave . . . . 416 392-66964. Mary McCormick Recreation Centre . . . . . . . . 66 Sheridan Ave . . . . . . . 416 392-07425. Wallace Emerson Community Centre . . . . . . . 1260 Dufferin St . . . . . . 416 392-0039

Did you know? Effective July 1, 2014, indoor leisure swimming at community pools is now FREE for all ages. This includes Leisure Swim, Family Swim, Female Swim, Preschool Swim & Older Adult Leisure Swim. Fees will continue to be charged for lane swimming.

Selling, buying or renting – each one of these can involve pets.

We’ve met a lot of the 4 legged family members of our clients over the years and all have a soft spot for pets. Many of our team members have pets of their own and so are often concerned with meeting their needs too – from fenced yards to places to stay on reno days.

From November 14th to December 31st, all Toronto Cat Rescue cats have a reduced adoption fee of $50, versus their standard fee of $175.

If you adopt a pet (any pet) from a local rescue, shelter or adoption program this winter, show us your adoption certificate and we’ll make a $25 donation to your chosen adoption facility.

For a local adoption spot, check out many of our local veterinary clinics and also check in with our friends at Pet Valu, located at 1660 Bloor St. West. This location works with Toronto Cat Rescue to place homeless cats with new owners. Toronto Cat Rescue is a registered, no-kill charity run completely by volunteers; they rescue and find homes for abandoned, sick or injured cats while also being a prominent educator and promoter of the Toronto Feral Cat Project. As animal lovers and property own-ers, helping to decrease the number of stray cats in the city is a valuable and noble cause. There are an estimated 100,000 stray and feral cats in Toronto, and colonies can be found in every neighbourhood in the city. From help building winter shelters to neutering programs, Toronto Cat Rescue provides many opportunities for us to make a difference for these cats, while also taking care of our city.

Become a hero today for a homeless petCanada is a nation full of pet lovers, but recent research shows that many communities need some guidance on how to help solve the homeless problem.

The 2014 Shelter Pet Report (by PetSmart Charities of Canada) found that while 73 per cent of people say that pet homelessness is at least somewhat important to them, an equal number of people admit that they don’t do anything to solve the issue.

With the following simple steps you can make a difference today:

1. Adopt your next pet. The largest motivator for adopting is to save a little life. Did you know that an estimated 70,000 pets are euthanized every year in Canada? By choosing adoption we can all work together to decrease this number.

2. Spay/neuter your pets. Unplanned litters are the main source of pet overpopulation. By increasing access to spay/neuter ser-vices and spreading the word about how important fixing your pet is, you can reduce pet overpopulation from the start.

3. Help stray pets. If you notice stray cats in your neighbour-hood, call your local animal welfare organization to see if they offer trap-neuter-return (TNR) programs. TNR is an innovative program that allows street cats to live out their normal lives without the risk of being euthanized in shelters.

4. Donate to animal welfare organizations: Championing this effort is PetSmart Charities of Canada, for example. It funds hundreds of local animal welfare groups that offer adoption and spay/neuter programs.

5. Spread the word: By helping pet lovers get more involved with local shelters and rescues, we can help find a lifelong, loving home for every pet.

Shelter and rescue groups say that if communities work together we can all end pet homelessness in a generation. More information is available online at petsmartcharities.org.www.newscanada.com

Holiday House Recovery ProgramAfter looking at the sales data in your area, you may be thinking you’d consider putting your house on the market. Entering the spring market coin-cides neatly with what we call the Holiday House Recovery Program...

Right now everyone is enjoying the holiday season, decorating trees, mantles and banisters, garnish-ing tables with “special occasion only” tableware and candles all while hosting guests, needing extra chairs and beds. Generally speaking, once the holidays are done, we tend to find ourselves asking “Where does this go again?” as we try and put our house back into some semblance of order.

Placing your property on the market requires “spring cleaning style” work. Highlighting your home’s best attributes can be done with some elbow grease and a ruthless eye for tossing the unnecessary items.

Here are our top five recommendations you can do yourself when getting your house ready for sale – or even just for your Holiday House Recovery Program.

1. DECLUTTER – Remove all knick knacks, personal photos, those piles of paperbacks and even children’s artwork from 2 years gone by. Choose a surface, a bookcase, for example, and remove everything, starting with a clean slate. Then, choose only a few items, artistically placed, to put back in. Toss, donate or store the rest. Repeat.

2. PAINT – fix all those dents and dings in your walls and baseboards. Keep samples of paint for touch ups. Repaint in light, neutral colours.

3. CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN – every square inch. Enough said.

4. REPLACE all those “white” LED bulbs with warm light. If you are opposed to incandescent bulbs, be sure to buy the LED bulbs on the “warm” spectrum. No fluorescents.

5. CLEAN WINDOWS – let the sunshine in. Nothing beats plain old white vinegar and water for washing windows, and clean windows make the house feel brighter, naturally!
