oh my ... and so it continues

It has been a rollercoaster six months of incredible highs and deeply frustrating setbacks for us here at Bubble Grove and it is about time for an update to let you wonderful supporters in on the good, the frustrating, and the deeply disappointing. The road to reopening has been full of twists from....

Our Family and Business Need Your Support!

As many of you know, Alexis and Andrew also run Bubble Grove, a nature based Retreat Centre in Chatsworth Ontario where we have crafted trails and opportunities to immerse yourself in the beauty of the Niagara Escarpment.

We have been facing quite a fight over the last couple of years to have our property rights fully recognized here through the Niagara Escarpment Commission and the challenges now have continued to the Ontario Land Tribunal.

A small group who have been working to quash our business have triggered this event by appealing the Niagara Escarpment Commissions decision in our favour from last November 2023.

It has taken this long to get to the next step. So much time. So much money. So many sleepless nights for Andrew and I.

We have started a petition and are hoping to gain as many signatures as possible to show that we have support and that Bubble Grove has value.

If you signed the petition last year, please share your name in support again and if possible, send this new petition link out to your friends and networks to help spread our story.

Your signatures and shares mean a heck of a lot.

Thank You Muchly from Andrew, myself, our kids and our whole family ❤️

*** Please do not donate through Change.org.

We are so very appreciative of your signature and support. Money given to Change.org goes towards their advertising efforts, not our family, so please signatures only through there.

We are not soliciting donations at this time, though if you truly want to help financially, we would love to host you for an experience here at Bubble Grove or, an etransfer to [email protected] gets directly to us

Side cut a few different areas along this walking trail. Just enough to made it a more enjoyable and safer stroll!

A before and after shot of a main trail line. It has 3 entry points along it to get you onto a separate trail through the forest. Options always make a trail system enjoyable.

A round about in the forest!! Go left, go right, or go right around and head back the same way. It's always nice when you have options to cruise around on the trails.

Mondays project had us trimming up a well worn path to a favorite Lookout point in the Kolapore Highlands. Flip through to the last picture for a glimpse of the view ...

Some trails require a special approach. This trail is not at all accessible by machines so all tools and gear need to be hauled by human hands.

Hiking a chainsaw, 2 brushsaws, 2 polesaws, gas, a rake, a blower, water and lunch up and down a .5 km cliff trail is par for the course around here.

Onward and Upward!

A trail is an invitation to explore.

Step to the trailhead and there are curiosities just up ahead waiting to be discovered.

Trails encourage connection and free thinking conversations. They challenge us and bring out our playful sides.

A good trail is just the fix for a hard day.
