I'm getting tired of the city too.
I like Kanata but the develpment doesn't stop. Still they've saved some greenspaces. We went for a bikeride on some trails not far from the house and passed deer grazing which is cool.
That sounds nice! Have you been riding in Gatineau Park? I haven't ridden a bike there, but the hiking is nice.
There were some bears in people's backyards in Bell's Corners last week. People were terrified- lol.
It's not like there's cougars or anything really dangerous-just some coyotes, black bears, foxes. People just have to keep an eye on their little foofy dogs, not leave garbage out, and make noise while walking in the forest.
