Although schools were closed due to COVID-19 earlier in March, this felt like the first week that COVID-19 restrictions really came into force. The beach was closed by the province early April, so I started to explore new trails.

The plan for the summer is to create barriers to further erosion and treat the roadway as part of the beach.Thursday, April 2nd, 2020 – Premier Ford announced that provincial parks including Wasaga Beach are closed to the public, so this is my last beach picture for a while – for the next few weeks I’ll walk parallel to the beach, or explore other trails in the area.Friday, April 3rd, 2020 – This trail is a 10 minute walk from our home. I’m too afraid of heights to walk this regularly! East of CR-10 near Knox along high dunes along the Nottawasaga River.
