Penitentiary – 60 minutes – Arrival time 7:45: "You suddenly wake up to find yourself locked in a cramped prison cell, cold, scared, the air-filled with silence.

Important details about the escape rooms only: 1. We will book the spots for the escape room, so no planning needed! 2. This is a prepaid event, so you must pay the fee to join in. 3. Please arrive at the listed time. This is scheduled 15 mins ahead of the room time so that everyone can arrive, check in and sign waivers if applicable. 4. No shows or last minute cancellations after the booking has been paid for will not receive refunds due to the non-refundable nature of the escape room businesses. 5. If there is a cancellation/rescheduling of the of the event, you will receive refunds. 6. If you ever want to join an event but all of our rooms appear to be full/sold out, please message me. I can sometimes find a way to add a person or two; and if I hear from a lot of people, I may even be able to book a whole extra room for the bonus folks so they can join in the fun! 7. Please share the puzzles! We can be big groups thanks to your patronage, and sometimes escape rooms don't have multiple puzzles to work on at one time, so only a few people may be able to work on a given puzzle. Share the love! If you've been the leader on a few puzzles in a row, kindly step back and let someone else have a turn. 8.

Greetings Bird Lovers, Why do we keep returning to Long Point? The answer is simple. At this time of year, there is no place in Southern Ontario quite like it for the sheer number and variety of birds we can see. Our last few trips to Long Point have been exceptional, and every visit seems to deliver something exciting. On our last two outings, we have saw several Bald Eagles, seen thousands of Sandhill Cranes, and enjoyed literally thousands of ducks. At times, it feels like stepping right into a National Geographic special. The birding can be that good. As spring begins to build, the longer days and milder temperatures make this one of the most enjoyable times to be outside. The first migrants are returning, Red-winged Blackbirds are beginning to sing, and the whole landscape starts to feel alive again. For me, spring is the most exciting season of all, and Long Point is one of those places that never disappoints. Long Point is one of Ontario’s most celebrated birding destinations and is recognized internationally as an Important Bird Area. Birds are present here year-round, but spring is when things really begin to come alive. We will be watching for a wide variety of waterfowl, Sandhill Cranes, Bald Eagles, Red-tailed Hawks, American Kestrels, and whatever other surprises the day may bring. We'll also be making a stop at Turkey Point for a chance to see rare Little Gulls and Bonaparte Gulls. We are also stopping at Ruthven Park, where we have a chance to see Tufted Titmouse and Eastern Bluebird. As always, I will keep an eye on local bird news, and if something unusual has turned up, we may adjust our route to give ourselves the best chance of seeing it. That is part of the fun at this time of year. You never know what might show up. Whether you are a seasoned birder, a newer birder, or a photographer who simply loves being out in nature, this trip is for you. Long Point is a wonderful place to enjoy birds, scenery, and the excitement of spring migration. Binoculars are recommended, and a camera is always a great idea. One of the things that makes these outings so enjoyable is the friendly atmosphere. We always have a fun group, plenty of laughs, and a shared excitement for whatever the day brings. It should be a fantastic day out, and I would love to have you join us. We will meet at the Finch Station Passenger Pick-Up and Drop-Off area at 7:45 a.m. and depart promptly at 8:00 a.m. We expect to return at approximately 5:30 p.m. after exploring several excellent birding areas southwest of Toronto. There is space for up to 3 bird lovers in my vehicle. The cost is $99 plus tax, for a total of $112. To reserve your spot, payment can be made by PayPal or by e-transfer to torontonaturelovers@hotmail.com. If you send an e-transfer, please let me know so I can manually add you to the trip. Important: transportation is provided, and spots will be filled on a first come, first served basis. Come join us for a wonderful spring day of birding, nature, and great company at one of Ontario’s very best birding destinations.

\*\***The Toronto History Walks Explorer Pass is available. Get it now for $125.00 for 1 year of unlimited tours, email** **torontohistorywalks@gmail.com** **for more information or for signing up!\*\*** **I have had much interest in this lecture, and several are now on the waitlist for the January 31 event, so I have decided to add a second event!** We have an amazing "Lecture on the Go" series for 2026. New topics and fascinating stories abound! Join us and learn about the world and keep active and warm during the winter months! I started this walking classroom when we were under that horrible cloud called Covid. This series was popular and helped people get out and back into society and life. The series is back for 2026 with 6 new topics for exploration over the winter and spring months. The "Lecture on the Go" Series is open only to members who have purchased the YEARLY MEMBERSHIP PASS, it's free for those members. If you wish to attend a lecture and you are not a yearly pass member then the price **per** lecture is $20.00. This first lecture is focussed on the Global Arms Trade. How safe are we in a world of lies and corruption where the almighty dollar rules over life and death itself. You would be surprised at the hidden secrets I have found during my research, and how arms are bought and sold in the international market. How money is laundered offshore, and brought back for school programs and senior centres. All these needed programs come from the trade in not only guns, but also in weapons of mass destruction. In a business, and it's a business, which consumes trillions of dollars of taxpayer's money, and results in war and destruction all in the name of money and power. You will never view this world the same again. This topic is timely and fascinating to anyone who is interested in where money comes from, and where it goes when it leaves our pockets. Hope to see you there! Topics upcoming in the 2026 series of lectures are as follows. \*The Global Arms Trade (January 31) \*Dante; The Hidden Meaning Behind The Divine Comedy (February 28) \*The 250 Year History of Encyclopedia Britannica: From Print to Digital (March 28) \*Hidden Wonders of Canada; Northern Ontario History and Guide (April 25) \*Philosophy 1: Great Minds of the Western World: Goethe to Kant! (May 30) \*Philosophy 2: Great Minds of the Eastern World: Chuang Tzu to Dalai Lama (June 20) This is the first event in the "Lecture on the Go," series for 2026! Hope to see you on this "Lecture on the Go!" So book your plans now! This event is for all levels and walkers, there are a few steps here and there to navigate, but mostly on one level. Mainly this event in a non walking event. The lecture begins on the steps of Old City Hall at the northeast corner of Bay Street and Queen Street West. This lecture event has a ticket price of $20.00 per person, and is **free with the yearly membership pass**. Hope to see you there! \*\* **Please note: Please e-transfer the ticket amount when booking your space for this tour!
