A Walk in the Woods
March 3, 2026
Picture yourself out for a walk in the woods. Well, unless you live in Nova Scotia, where such a heinous transgression will net you a $25,000 fine. You might even get hauled off to the clinker. But I digress. While out there on a trail surrounded by trees and potentially lakes, rivers and waterfalls, have you ever found yourself wondering if the trail is welcoming and inclusive? Gays and transgenders clearly don’t have the same opportunities to walk and enjoy this trail that the rest of us do, you might think. Same with people of color. And especially those of Indigenous heritage. We need to do better to ensure that such people are made to feel just as welcome as anyone else.
Of course not. The mere notion is utterly absurd.
But not to the people at the Bruce Trail Conservancy. As I learned yesterday at the Active Living Fair, they actually have a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee and seem quite proud of it.
Everyone should feel represented and included in outdoor spaces and the opportunities they provide, they say. They’ve obviously bought into wokeism, hook, line and sinker. It’s all over their website as well. They even make sure their directors’ pronouns are clearly identified. No one is to be left behind. And of course, there’s a land acknowledgment. The elements of the radical far-left would be so pleased.
So much for embracing their role in responsible stewardship of the Bruce Trail.
Instead, they use your money and mine to embrace divisive values which are tearing this country apart.
