Great info about winter activities at Bruce Peninsula National Park!

Around 9,000 years ago, when water levels were much lower, a limestone ridge stretched from Alpena, Michigan, all the way to Ontario. Early Native hunters used it to track migrating caribou, building stone hunting blinds, and drive lanes right where fish swim today. Archaeologists call it the Alpena-Amberley Ridge, and at nearly 120 feet underwater, it’s one of the best-preserved prehistoric hunting sites in North America.

62 miles – Approximate length of the ridge, stretching from Alpena, MI to Ontario.

3,000 years – How long caribou hunters are believed to have used this corridor.

Older than 4,500 years – Age of the stone hunting structures, making them older than the Egyptian pyramids.

1 of a kind – It’s the only known submerged prehistoric hunting site of its scale in North America.

The ridge was once a caribou “superhighway” during migration seasons.

It’s a powerful reminder that the Great Lakes hold stories far older than we see on the surface.

Tobermory is a great place to view the Perseid Meteor Shower! Don’t miss your chance. Continues well into August!

🌠 The Perseid Meteor Shower Begins – July 17, 2025 🌌

Get ready for a dazzling celestial show that has captivated skywatchers for centuries!

Every year, the Perseid Meteor Shower graces Earth’s skies as our planet passes through debris left behind by the ancient comet Swift-Tuttle. These bits of cosmic dust burn up in our atmosphere, creating brilliant streaks of light — known as “shooting stars.”

🌌 What to Expect on July 17:
• The first visible meteors begin around 21:00 UTC
• The radiant point (Perseus constellation) rises at about 22:30 UTC
• Best viewing window: Midnight to 04:00 AM UTC on July 18
• Away from city lights, you may see 10–20 meteors per hour at this early stage

🔭 Pro Tips:
• Find a dark, rural location with a clear view of the northeast sky
• No telescope needed — Perseids are best seen with the naked eye
• Let your eyes adjust to the darkness for 20–30 minutes
• Bring a blanket or reclining chair for comfort
• Be patient — the show builds up over time!

🌟 Why It’s Special:
• The Perseids are fast and bright, often leaving glowing trails
• Some even produce fireballs — larger bursts of light and color
• This year’s waning crescent Moon means minimal light interference

🗓️ The shower runs from July 17 to August 24, with peak nights around August 12–13, but early activity on July 17 offers a quieter, more peaceful experience under the stars.

So step outside, look up, and witness one of nature’s most magical light shows.
Make a wish — and let the universe surprise you. 🌌💫

‼️AURORA POTENTIAL: Severe Geomagnetic Storm Possible Sunday into Monday

Heads up! The northern lights may dazzle the skies across Canada - including right here in Southern Ontario over the next 48 hours! 🌌

This comes thanks to a strong coronal mass ejection (CME) that erupted from the sun on Friday. The Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) has issued a G4 (Severe) geomagnetic storm watch, with the CME expected to arrive sometime between Sunday morning and Sunday evening.

There’s still quite a bit of uncertainty around the exact arrival time and how long the storm will last. Each CME behaves differently, and the strength of the geomagnetic storm can be hard to pin down until just before it hits.

That timing will be crucial. If the storm peaks during the daytime, we could miss out on the most vibrant auroras. However, events of this strength often last several hours and can fluctuate in intensity, so there’s still a good chance that part of the storm will overlap with nightfall.

If G4 conditions materialize, this could be one of the strongest geomagnetic events since last May and October. That means we might see northern lights overhead, even in Southern Ontario, not just low on the northern horizon. But it all depends on how strong the storm ends up being.

The forecast is looking promising for Sunday night, with mostly clear skies expected across much of Southern Ontario. The only exception is far Eastern Ontario including the Ottawa Valley that could still see some cloudy skies early in the nignt.

One possible issue is elevated wildfire smoke drifting in from the west, which could interfere with visibility. Thankfully, most of that smoke isn’t expected to arrive until late overnight, so earlier viewing hours should remain relatively clear.

As always, your best chance at seeing the show is finding a spot far from city lights. While this storm might be strong enough to cut through some light pollution, darker skies will still offer the best experience.

We’ll be keeping a close eye on it! Stay tuned to our page for real-time updates and alerts when the auroras may be visible. 👀✨
