March ice storm cleanup continues across Simcoe County trails

Many trails across Simcoe County remain closed on Wed. July 9, 2025, following a destructive ice storm in March. Downed trees and branches and weakened tree tops along the Mid/Pen Link trail that connects Midland and Penetanguishene have been an issue for trail users since the March ice storm. Volunteers have been out clearing and removing what they can in recent months. The cleanup will continue on Thursday thanks to volunteers with the Ganaraska Hiking Trail Association. 'We are still working hard at clearing the debris that fell on the Ganaraska Hiking Trail, which is 500 kilometres, and which was effected in it's entirety pretty well,' said Frieda Baldwin, with the Ganaraska Hiking Trail Association.

We've cleaned up most of our section but we have a little bit left to do and I'm hoping we can get it done tomorrow,' said trail director Larry Piitz. It's a similar scene right across the county. The Simcoe County foresters say there are still some areas in the county that need massive clearing. The foresters say people may notice some significant differences next time they're out on a trail. 'Recognizing the changes that have happened in some of the natural stands, as well with the amount of broken tops and limbs and the amount of light coming in, so there's been a quit an impact across the board,' explained Graeme Davis, a long-time professional forester.

It's executive director says they are hoping homeowners who have lost trees seriously consider replanting. 'The trees that were a safety hazard or a perceived safety hazard that were cut down and taken out completely I would suggest every single one of those trees, plus three, should be planted in it's place,' said Andee Pelan with Living Green Barrie. Anyone using County trails is reminded to extra careful of what could be dangerous tree tops, and residents are encouraged to stay off closed trails until they are safely reopened.

Meet the nonstop knitters who make free scarves, hats, mittens for those in need

Members of knitting group Chase the Chill gather in Borden Park on Saturday, July 5, 2025. (Brandon Lynch/CTV News Edmonton) The preparations for the upcoming winter blitz have already started in July. Chase the Chill is a knitting group that's been around for about 13 years in Edmonton – and they're still going strong. Collectively, they make around 1,200 handmade hats, scarves and mittens a year and deliver them all in one day by placing them on fences, posts and trees for anyone who needs them. To achieve such a feat, it takes a concerted effort from a dedicated few. 'We need people to do it all the time,' said Brenda Ranson, who's an organizer in the group with her husband, Stuart. On top of effort, it also takes a lot of yarn. Ranson said they are always looking for any donations. 'We're grateful for everybody who helps … If you have yarn to get rid of that you're tired of having in your house, we'll grab it and take it,' she said. There are 677 members on the official Facebook page – and lots of interest in general – but only a handful of members are always tirelessly preparing for colder months. Cut to an unseasonably chilly Borden Park on Saturday, where six or seven dedicated members gathered outside to knit together. This isn't an unusual occasion, according to Ranson. In fact, she knits every single day. 'It's something I'm going to do anyway, so I might as well do something that helps people,' she said. 'You see the people sleeping beside the buildings, or a cold person in the winter standing outside with no coat on … and a scarf gives a little bit of love.' Brenda and Stuart Ranson, 2025 Brenda and Stuart Ranson organize the Facebook group and meetings in Edmonton. (Brandon Lynch, CTV News Edmonton) A constant cycle One winter day a year, typically the first Saturday of December, Chase the Chill members and onlookers from ages five to 80 will visit several public locations that allow them to drape their handiwork on fences or around posts and trees. Little tags adorn each item that tell the reader to take the item if they need it – no judgement, no questions. They can only admire the scene for a little while though because, depending on the area, a year of work disappears within 24 hours. Ranson said the group tries to hit high traffic places that won't take down their items, like Norwood or Jasper Place. Two years ago, some of the group noticed little thank-you notes on the tags. Ranson still carries them around in her phone as a reminder that she's impacting someone for the better. Come Dec. 6 of this year, Chase the Chill will blitz the city once again with their work. 'And then [we] start all over again,' Ranson said. With files from CTV News Edmonton's Brandon Lynch
