Ontario Winter Ice Fishing Resorts Occupancy Winter Conditons

Sunday, December 28th, 2008

pOntario, winter has most definitely arrived. An unseasonably cold November, with higher than normal precipitation, has blanketed the traditional snow-belt areas of central Ontario with an early cover of snow. In many areas, a good base of snow has already been established and Ontario four-season resort operators couldn’t be happier. Ontario winter resorts and accommodation businesses, like much of Ontario’s winter tourism industry, is weather dependent. Ontario winter resort vacationers expect to experience crisp clear days in a landscape covered with freshly fallen snow, especially over the Christmas holiday week. They want to indulge in winter-based activities like ice fishing, snowmobling, and cross-country skiing- activities that are dependant on adequate snowfall and cold temperatures. Mild temperatures and a lack of snow can be disastrous. During the unusually warm and dry winter of 2006/2007, room occupancy fell as much as 40% in some Ontario winter tourist areas. BRBRWhile the current economic news in Canada and in the States is not encouraging for many sectors of the economy, A href=”http://www.beavercreekresort.ca/”Ontario resort/As may directly benefit from these uncertain times. The substantial drop in the value of the Canadian dollar against the American may cause Canadian’s to re-think where they will go for their annual winter vacation. The combination of unfavorable exchange rates, high fuel and travel costs and a weakening economy, may curtail many from heading south this year. To save money, reduce travel time and hassle, an Ontario resort winter vacation may be the perfect winter vacation alternative, especially this year, considering the optimum winter conditions predicted.BRBRWith this weekend’s large snowfall, the phones are beginning to ring at many Ontario winter resorts with inquiries about winter accommodations and Christmas and New Year packages. Some areas in Ontario are reporting that their Nordic ski trails are open, suggesting one of the earliest starts for the Ontario cross country ski season on record. While the beginning of the snowmobile season is still a few weeks away, if the good base of snow already accumulated remains, Ontario may be looking at an early start to the snowmobile season as well.

Wintertime Ice Fishing Ice Fishing Huts Tips

Sunday, December 21st, 2008

Campground Tips:

- be extra sure that all fire starting materials and matches are extinguished before leaving your winter camp.  Break matches in half

- Build no fires except in designated firepits – no matter how cold the Manitoba Canada winter is.  Or use a camp stove – such as a Coleman camp stove.  Before leaving your ice fishing hut make sure any fires in your fishing or tenting area are completly out

- Be careful with with cigarettes ,cigars and pipe ashes. Crush them thoroughly before discarding.  Jadran Transcona , Lake Manitoba Senior Outfitter notes – never be lazy and toss them from your vehicle

- Even in the winter ice fishing season take care not to litter

- Be sensitive to wildlife.  The Lake Manitoba  Narrows area  remains a pristine fisherman and ice fisherman’s delight.  Bears can be dangerous and should never be fed.  Food must be stored away from your campsite as well as Ice Fishing Hut or huts.  A locked vehicle or van is the best.  Avoid attracting hungy animals.  Do not store food in your ice fishing hut or ice fishing huts.

- Warm clothing is needed always in the Lake Manitoba regions in the wintertime . Overpack warm winter clothng and winter time boots rather than underpack

Arctic Icebreaker

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

Northerners and northern watchers say they are pleased with federal budget promises for the region, but add that more could have been done.

Some of the surprises in Finance Minister Jim Flaherty’s budget, delivered Tuesday, included two measures to help assert Canada’s sovereignty over the North: $720 million to buy a new polar class icebreaker that can travel through thick multi-year Arctic ice, as well as $20 million over two years to conduct extensive mapping of the Arctic and Atlantic seabeds.

Should the budget pass in the House of Commons and the purchase go through, the icebreaker would replace the aging Canadian Coast Guard ship Louis St. Laurent and add to the fleet of patrol ships Prime Minister Stephen Harper promised to buy last year.

“This icebreaker and new money for mapping is something that Arctic experts like myself have been calling for, for some years now,” Michael Byers, the Canada Research chair in global politics and international law at the University of British Columbia, said Tuesday.

“I hope it’s real. I hope it’s not just an election promise.”

Still, Byers said, Ottawa will soon need to replace more than one icebreaker as Canada’s fleet of icebreakers continues to get older.

The budget also offered help to Nunavut’s turbot and shrimp fishery, by proposing to spend $8 million to build a commercial fishing harbour in Pangnirtung.

“It’s the only community with a fish plant,” said Pangnirtung MLA and Nunavut house Speaker Peter Kilabuk. “This is a big boost for fisheries in all of Nunavut.”

But Finance Minister Louis Tapardjuk said Ottawa’s offer to build one harbour falls short of Nunavut’s request to put small-craft harbours in seven communities.

“There’s $8 million for Pang; we were asking for $41 million to cover some of the communities,” Tapardjuk said. “This is a start.”

Tax deduction increase long overdue: MP, MLA

Northern politicians also thought the budget’s proposed raise to the northern residents’ tax deduction was a good start, but called for higher increases to meet the rising cost of living up north.

Flaherty announced a 10 per cent increase to the northern residents’ tax deduction — the first such increase since the tax measure was introduced in 1988.

During his budget address, Flaherty said the increase is meant to attract more workers to the North, which is struggling with a labour shortage.

If the budget passes, the changes would be implemented retroactively to Jan. 1. However, the increase is expected to save residents only about $200 a year.

“There is some ground to make up, so this 10 per cent increase is a significant one and certainly many people were asking that we do this,” Indian and Northern Affairs Minister Chuck Strahl told CBC News.

Western Arctic NDP MP Dennis Bevington, who had long campaigned for an increase to the tax deduction, said he is hopeful that this is just the beginning.

Outdoors Groups Attack "Global Warming" Trends

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

The National Wildlife Federation is rounding up hunting and fishing groups throughout the country to give a cold shoulder to global warming.

The conservation group, with a mission of urging Americans to protect wildlife for their kids’ future, held regional teleconferences around the country Thursday to call for sportsmen clubs to band together and tell Congress to take immediate action. More than 680 groups have signed a letter to Congress, the NWF’s Web site said Thursday.

Clarence Bina, the Bismarck-based executive director of the North Dakota Wildlife Federation, and outdoor personality Tony Dean spoke on behalf of the Dakotas region.

Dean, who lives in Pierre, S.D., pointed to the thousands of Canada geese that wintered in the Pierre area in the 1970s.

“Now, they are in Clarence’s country,” he said.

Bina, who paid $2 for his first North Dakota hunting license in 1958 at the Brocket Post Office, said no one can afford to ignore the reality of science that points to global warming.

“The term ‘tipping point’ is here now,” he said.

The sportsmen’s letter calls for members of Congress to support:

n A federal cap-and-trade legislation that would cap carbon emissions and trade carbon credits.

n Cuts in carbon emissions of 2 percent annually, putting America on a path for a cut of 80 percent by 2050, the amount scientists say is necessary to avoid the worst effects of global warming.

n Dedicated funding to conserve and restore America’s natural resources already impacted by global warming.

The moderator, Jennifer Pelej, a national wildlife federation regional organizer from Missoula, Mont., said sportsmen and women were uniting for a good cause.

“It’s a significant group of hunters and anglers coming together,” she said.

Dean dismissed people or groups that deny global warming’s existence.

“It’s increasingly difficult to find people who are saying global warming is not coming. The science is real, and it’s becoming more clear,” he said.

Dean wasn’t as confident about Congress taking action on cap and trade this year.
