The Access Committe of the Toronto section of the ACC is organizing a spring clean-up/ trail work day at Nemo and Rattlesnake this April. Mountain Equipment Co-op is providing the use of a "magic bus" departing from their store in the morning and returning in the evening. The clean-up will occur at the end of April with an exact date and timings to follow. Please come out and join the Access Committe in supporting the Halton Regional Conservation Authority in their continued support of climbing access in Halton Region!
Keep posted for more details this week or contact me through e-mail.

Are you planning on doing both Nemo and Rattlesnake in a single day, or are these two seperate ventures?

The tentative plan is to spend the morning at Nemo doing some trail work and then transport over to Rattlesnake for some climbing. I will be posting a full itinerary in the next couple of days.

ME TOO.... can I get in on this???? :D
OK some more details for you.
DATE: 24th April
TIME: 9:00 am
LOCATION: Mount Nemo Conservation Area
ACTIVITY: Trail work and clean up
BONUSES: Climbing afterwards
ENTRANCE FEES: FREE to participants
We are working on the following.
LUNCH: FREE - A barbeque to be arranged.
TRANSPORT: FREE - A bus to leave MEC, downtown Toronto to Mount Nemo. Shuttle over to Rattlesnake Point for the lunch. We will even give you a FREE ride back to Toronto. Times to be finalized.
BONUSES: Possible freebies. Making climbers look good. Helping the environment. Showing you are a responsible climber.
How else can you help?
Bring your own gloves and workboots.
Cut lunch waste by providing your own camp plate and cup (better for Earth Day than creating disposable plate garbage - Yes?)
Let us know you are attending so we have a head count.
Let us know you want to use the bus. IMPORTANT. We need enough people to commit to the bus to justify booking it.
Spread the word that all climbers are welcome and needed.
The barbeque is being held at Rattlesnake C.A. because of the lack of facilities at Nemo C.A. and to provide top roping opportunities (remember the mandatory TR ban at Nemo) but anyone in their own cars may return to Nemo to lead climb after lunch.
The contact e-mail for the bus or to confirm attendance will be earthdayevent@yahoo.ca
We may at some point open a database to list attendees at the Access Partners group page, we will see.

Oh and did I mention we should have some FREE STUFF (TBA)

I think this would be a good opportunity for an RC.com mini-gathering. meet up, clean our local crags, bit of climbing later if time allows...
grant, you mentioned the bus to get out there... what about coming back?

Well if you read all of the post you can see that the return trip was posted as free but for you I'm sure we could accept a huge FEE.
:twisted: Not a typo.... how about a mere $100 :roll:

phooey to you i say! phooey!
i meant what time do you think this shin dig would be over, and are you looking at having a few buses shuttle back to the city, or one set time around sundown or something?
enh... it's probably too far away to speculate, even.

Why take a bus when we can each take out own cars - preferrably SUV's with 7 empty seats and a tank full of gas?

If you could send an e-mail to earthdayevent@yahoo..ca and mention if you are going to be taking the bus as well as how many people you are bringing, you'd be my hero!

What part of Nemo will the clean-up be starting on? I'm doing the WWF CN Tower stair climb in the morning but I'm thinking of booting it out there after to help....

I understood the CN stairclimb was the weekend previous, like the 17th April. That being the case I hope you can make it out for the whole day on the 24th April.
As an added incentive we have a growing number of free giveaways and there is a chance we will have a free rope to include soon. More details to come later.
.......and erm, like kidnapping people might make climbers look bad and be counter-productive. Just brainwash them so they come on their own :shock: :twisted:
