ICYMI: "For much of the postwar period, it was unusual for Ontarians to visit their cottages over the winter. The buildings themselves were uninsulated, and the access roads leading to them were impassable once the snow fell." - Peter A.

This is an excellent primer on efforts to daylight forgotten rivers in Canadian cities! Ancient rivers once nourished and protected the lands where we built our biggest cities. Now, they’re buried underground. Is it finally time to let them see daylight? newsinteractives.cbc.ca/features/2024/…

"The cottage season typically ran from the May long weekend until #Thanksgiving, with most summer homes sitting empty and at the mercy of the elements during the off-season." - Peter A. Stevens @peterastevens.bsky.social niche-canada.org/2024/03/15/win… #cdnhist #envhist
