30 - The Oakville Beaver, Friday July 4, 2008 www.oakvillebeaver.com GPS lessons at Bronte Creek Bronte Creek Provincial Park is going high tech with GPS. A new program will teach youths and general visitors about navigating with GPS technology. School groups and visitors will have the opportunity to learn about and use handheld GPS receivers to locate a series of waypoints. "I am very excited to bring this high-tech program to the park visitors." says Park Natural Heritage Education Specialist Sheila Wiebe. "This program will target Grades 6 to 10 and general family groups. It will encourage youths to learn about this new form of orienteering. I hope that through GPS technology the youths will get outdoors, explore and discover," said Wiebe. The GPS program has been in the planning and development stage for over a year. The major stumbling block was due to the high price tag of a classroom set of hand-held GPS receivers. Thanks to a donation from the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation via the new TD Canada Trust branch in the Burloak shopping plaza and an in-store discount from Radioworld and Garmin; the hardware problem was solved. The program will run July 10, 17, August 14 and 28 from 7-8 p.m. in the Day-use area. The park's Day-use area is accessible off Burloak Drive, just north of the QEW.
