Behind Tim Horton's on N end of Bancroft on Hwy 2

York River

Bancroft, Ontario, Canada

Location of test site is at the back of the Tim Horton's parking lot and on the north side where there is a short path to the water's edge. Slow moving water typically. Slight drop to the water so handy to have a reaching device to gather your water sample from and to reach for conductivity and temp tests.

Sunny and windy day with very high water levels around this river and region, and fast flowing current. Met a man who was watching us testing and spoke with us afterwards, who had taught Environmental Science for many years in College, did work with the Environment Ministry and lived nearby with a cottage on a lake. Had a nice chat about this program and gave him the card and suggested he reach out to contact WR.

Sunny and fairly calm day. No wildlife around but tons of cars all lined up in the Tim’s drive thru backed up right to the highway and everyone idling their cars and trucks while waiting their turns. Will we ever see the day when idling your vehicle will be as socially unacceptable as smoking in a public space ?
