National Barefoot Week – is it, really?
June 1-7 has been, once again, declared “National Barefoot Week” by Soles4Souls, a Nashville-based charity that collects new and used shoes to be donated to people in need around the world. The week-long event is a yearly highlight the charity uses to encourage people to get involved in donating any type of footwear to be re-distributed in the US and other places where people might need it.
Our New Site is Up and Running
Well, here we are! After a month of hard work, I’m proud to present the newly branded and designed Barefoot Canada site.
This new site doesn’t only bear a new interface design, but also takes advantage of a more efficient and flexible back-end system; which will enable me to keep it up to date more easily and effectively.
Make sure to visit often to check out the latest additions to “Foot Notes”, showcasing interesting material about barefooting from all over the internet. Get inspired by our ever-growing collection of photos from fellow barefooters from around the world. Meet and mingle with other barefoot enthusiasts from by joining our Social Network – remember, you don’t need to live in Canada to join!
As expected, this is a work in progress. I’m always on the look for new features and information that will help all of us have a better experience with the site. As usual, I welcome suggestions to keep improving the site.
Keep ‘em bare, keep ‘em happy,

Another Great Interview Experience
Yesterday, I had the pleasure to meet, interview, and go for a fun barefoot outing with Radio Documentary Producer Frank Faulk.
Frank contacted me last week to do a showcase half-hour radio documentary about my barefoot lifestyle. As part of the exercise, he wanted to go on a barefoot outing with me to a commercial place and experience firsthand any potential hassles; so I suggested that we go for coffee at Fairview Mall – located at the corner of Sheppard Av. & Don Mills Rd. here in Toronto, not far from where I live – especially, because I’ve had a couple of “encounters” with security there in the past.
Sun Media Video and Paper Article
After meeting with Thane Burnett from Sun Media on August 13, he’s published a couple of pieces. Here are the links:
-> Video on Canoe.ca: “Barefoot in the City”
-> Article in the Sun Family of Papers: “Naked from the Ankle Down”; also featuring fellow barefooters: Al Gaultier from Vancouver, BC, Wolf Starchild from St. Catherines, ON, and Bryan McDonald, from Windsor, ON.
