Spring is here! Let’s get Hiking!
Yes! Although it doesn’t really feel like spring in a lot of areas in Ontario – or Canada for that matter, the new season has sprung and it’s time to get out of our hibernation mode and start exploring the different areas around the city. What best way to start our barefooting season this year!?
Where to Hike in Toronto and Surrounding Areas
Despite Toronto is Canada’s biggest urban centre, it is a very “green” city; which offers many areas for outings and exploration. Among the most popular spots for exploration within the city we have:
- High Park
- Toronto Islands
- Don River Valley
- Humber River
- Central Ravines
- Scarborough Bluffs
Beyond the core of the city, there are also many, many areas and parks to explore around the GTA and the rest of the province.
It’s Earth Day – Go Barefoot!
Today, we’re celebrating the 40th anniversary of Earth Day; which was founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson on April 22, 1070 to raise awareness about environmental issues around our planet.
Personally, I like to think of Earth Day as an opportunity to reflect on my relationship with planet and the impact we, human beings, are creating on a daily basis – especially in developed and developing areas; which are growing exponentially every year.
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.
