  • Since I live in Canada I am more aware of the air quality. And that is mostly because they seem to pay more attention to it here than in The Netherlands. There is even an online forcast for it :

    Warnings Or Dangers: Snow, snow and more snow!

  • Be prepared for some snow when you visit Ontario in the winter! This picture was taken on 30th January, 2003 close to the village where I live, Stayner. It was a gorgeous sunny day, so I went out to take some pictures of the snow covered landscape. Hahaha, but the sandbanks were so high I couldn't look over them any more :-)) This is what they call an old-fashioned Canadian winter :-) Not all parts of Canada get this much snow, Toronto for example doesn't have neaerly as much as this. Hahaha, the area where I live is called 'snowbelt region', because it is known for the huge amount of snow that can fall here :-)

    Warnings Or Dangers: Snowmobiles

  • Watch out for the snowmobiles! They have their own trails going through the countryside. But they also share the same road as you do, using the shoulder of the road. So be aware of them! They can go quite fast, and join the roads suddenly as part of their trail.

    Warnings Or Dangers: Parking :-((((
  • Tip Rating:
  • Province of Ontario - Parking restrictions in Stayner

  • Arghhh.... this is something happened to me while I parked in front of my house in Stayner! Every village has it's own by-laws. And one of the by-laws in Stayner is that it is forbidden to park on the street between 1 AM and 6 AM. That's something you just have to know.... of course we found out the hard way and got a ticket for parking on the street in front of the house :-( Not every road on which you enter Stayner has this sign that warns you for the parking rules. Arghhh... I never noticed this sign before.... until it was too late of course. So I guess this is not only a warning for Stayner, but most likely for many more villages in Ontario.
