I am pleased to share with you the 2023 Spring and Summer Program Guide.

This guide contains information about a variety of recreation programs and activities for all ages.

Check out programs geared to those interested in swimming, fitness, dance, art, cooking and more.

Are you wondering how to keep your kids busy during the summer? Our camps are full of activities and adventures! The Town of Aurora offers a variety of camp programs throughout the year.

Town camps are fun, safe and led by qualified staff. Camps are open to children ages 4+ and are designed to meet the diverse interests, learning and developmental needs of all participants. There are also leadership camps and volunteer opportunities for youth between the ages of 12 to 15. Take a read through our guide and check out all the exciting programming options for you and your family.

Aurora is a community that is active and healthy. Our Town has a vast array of walking trails, open spaces and parks. If you are looking to take a hike and explore the outdoors, I encourage you to discover our multi-use trail system that spans over 62 kilometres. Visit aurora.ca/parks to learn more.

Letters to the Earth: Between Despair and Hope A Group Exhibition curated by Carmel Brennan This muti-disciplinary group exhibition serves to initiate conversation about the environmental crisis happening around the world and affecting Canadians directly.

Artists across Canada and beyond wrote a letter to the earth as their commitment to this exhibition. They voice that the opportunity to sit back and blame corporations, governments, or the mistakes of our pasts has passed. To preserve the future for our current and future generations, the time to act is now.

Carmel Brennan, born in England, was educated at George Washington University (Washington D.C.), University of Toronto, and York University. She completed a master’s degree at the University of the Highlands and Islands (Scotland). A visual arts educator and environmental activist Carmel exhibits her artwork provincewide and opens her studio in Sunderland, Ontario, to visitors every year as part of the Uxbridge Studio Tour. In 2021, she curated The Conversation with the Aurora Cultural Centre.

PARKS & TRAILS PEDESTRIAN TRAIL SYSTEM The Town of Aurora is fortunate to have an extensive pedestrian trail system which connects many of its neighbourhood parks, Town facilities and open space corridors. Presently the Town maintains approximately 62 kilometers of trails.

Come out and enjoy a leisurely hike through the natural valley land setting of mixed forests, meadows and wetland habitats of the Holland River Valley. This is Aurora’s longest trail corridor stretching from Evans Park on Bayview Avenue south of Vandorf Sideroad all the way up to St. John’s Sideroad and includes the Tim Jones Trail (Nokiidaa Trail), the Klaus Wehrenberg Trail as well as the Sheppard’s Bush trails. These trails link municipal facilities such as the Town Hall, the Senior’s Centre and the Aurora Family Leisure Complex, as well as the Aurora Community Centre, Sheppard’s Bush, and Lambert Willson Park.

Other significant trails include the Lakeview/Willow Farm Trail located within the forested hills of St. Andrews in northwest Aurora, the David Tomlinson Nature Reserve Trail in the Marsh Creek valley lands of northeast Aurora, and currently under construction, the Highland Gate trail in the former Highland Gates Golf Course lands.

All Aurora trails are considered multi-use, with the primary focus being pedestrian hikers. Opportunities also exist for cross country skiers. The majority of our trails are compact gravel surfaces with some asphalt sections through neighbourhood and community parks.

Please note that our trails are not groomed or maintained during winter months, and conditions vary widely. Surface conditions can change dramatically during the winter to create potentially hazardous hiking and skiing conditions. All users are advised to respect other trail users, to stay on designated trails and to exercise caution at all times.

COMMUNITY PARKS & SPORTS FACILITIES The town currently has over 75 parks and open space areas including 44 playgrounds encompassing over 700 acres, 4 children’s water-play splash pads, 35 soccer fields, 18 ball diamonds and a wide variety of other recreational activities. Please come out and enjoy what Aurora has to offer! Full details at www.aurora.ca/parksandtrails DAVID TOMLINSON NATURE RESERVE The David Tomlinson Nature Reserve consists of marshland, openwater ponds, meadows and forests in the Marsh Creek valley lands located between Bayview Avenue and Leslie Street, north of Wellington Street East. Main access points include the Stronach Aurora Recreation Centre and Johnathan Bales Parkette.

Park users should note that much of the nature reserve contains environmentally sensitive areas and habitat for many species of flora and fauna, and the intent is to restrict pedestrian access to these areas to allow nature to flourish. We request that park users stay on the trails and respect the truly unique features that are contained within the nature reserve. Viewing platforms have been provided at two

critical locations and have been designed to screen pedestrians from wildlife that would otherwise be startled should pedestrians remain in plain view. Additional native trees and shrubs will be planted over the next few years to help buffer pedestrian activity from environmentally sensitive areas.
