Toronto – Iceculture Inc. has been named one of 12 provincial winners of The Ontario Business Achievement Awards (OBAA) and the Ontario Global Traders Awards (OGTA) by the Ontario Chamber of Commerce.

“Ontario is a world leader in innovation and technology and it is essential that we recognize the companies that have brought the province to the world stage,” says Len Crispino, President and CEO of the OCC. “But not only are they creating much-needed jobs in communities throughout the province, they’re also providing solutions to global problems.  Iceculture Inc. has broken through old assumptions with its 3D carving machine and outstanding adaptation of ice lounges which now marvel visitors in climates throughout the world.”

Iceculture Inc. will receive the Bronze prize in the OGTA HSBC Award for Innovation – Exports category.  
 
“We are particularly proud to receive the Bronze price in the OGTA Award for Innovation.  Recognition of one’s efforts is always appreciated and as a small company operating in a niche business, receiving this prestigious honor is sure to spark enthusiasm among our design, production and operations staff, encouraging us all to strive for bigger and better things in the future”, says Ann Bayley, President of Iceculture Inc.

“We have just broken into the fast-expanding entertainment industry in India and expect to have the first ice lounge in that country operational by the end of the year.  The future for our products throughout the Middle East looks very promising”, she adds.

The following are some of the reasons why Iceculture Inc. was chosen for the award:

  • Development of the only 3-dimensional ice carving machine in the world, capable of producing a detailed sculpture every sixty minutes
  • Innovative development of ice lounges and restaurants which have been shipped to points in Australia, South Africa, Portugal, Thailand, Dubai, Miami and Las Vegas
  • Adaption of delivery of ice sculptures and lounges to hot climates
The OGTA HSBC Award for Innovation – Exports awards will be one of six categories presented.  The remaining are: the OBAA RBC Royal Bank Award for Small Business, the Desjardins Award for Large Business, the OGTA Market Expansion Award (Product or Service), the Corporate Governance Award, and the Innovation Technology Award. OGTA categories have gold, silver and bronze sub-category winners.

Awards will be presented at a gala event which will to be attended by approximately 1,000 business and political leaders at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on Wednesday, November 25th, hosted by CBC’s Dragons’ Den co-stars Arlene Dickinson and Kevin O’Leary.

Owl Prowl night hike at Morrison Dam Conservation Area Nov. 7 to find out about owls and how they adapt as night-time hunters

 

Families come out in droves to the Exeter area on an evening each November to find out about owls and how they adapt as night-time hunters, according to organizers of the the Owl Prowl night hike.

“Owls are fascinating nocturnal birds of prey, which have many unique adaptations,” said Julie Stellingwerff, Conservation Education Specialist for the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA).

The ‘call of the wild’ is taking place this year (2009) on Saturday, November 7, near Exeter, at beautiful Morrison Dam Conservation Area.

Have you or your family ever taken a guided night hike and listened for the call of the Eastern Screech Owl? If so, you may be one of the hundreds of people who have taken part in the popular ABCA Owl Prowl. If you have not called for owls while hiking in a forest at night, here is your chance.

The annual Owl Prowl takes place Saturday, November 7 from 7 p.m. – 9 p.m. at the ABCA Administration Centre workshop at Morrison Dam Conservation Area, two (2) kilometres east of Exeter, just south of Highway 83, on Morrison Line. Admission is free but donations are always welcome in support of ABCA conservation education programs.

After an engaging multimedia show, participants go on a guided night hike to call in owls. Once your eyes become accustomed to the moonlight, you will be able to explore the wonderful world of owls.

“Eastern Screech Owls, one of ten different owl species found in Ontario, often respond to recorded calls that will be played on the hike,” said Stellingwerff.

Following the hike, fill your mug with complimentary hot chocolate and enjoy drinking it around an outdoor fireplace. Please bring your own mug to cut down waste created from using disposable cups. Hikers and ‘prowlers’ are reminded to dress appropriately for being outdoors.

Close to 200 people come out each year to enjoy Morrison Dam Conservation Area in the dark. “The Owl Prowl is a huge success and usually gets a great turn-out,” said Stellingwerff. “On a good year we see at least one Eastern Screech Owl fly over the group and most times we hear one or more owls call back.”

The workshop is located in behind the ABCA Administration Centre at 71108 Morrison Line in Exeter. To register, or for more information, contact Julie Stellingwerff, ABCA Conservation Education Specialist, at 519-235-2610 or toll-free 1-888-286-2610 or e-mail  jstellingwerff @abca.on.ca

Feel free to visit the conservation authority online at abca.on.ca for more information.

Awesome Autumn Oct 13 final event walk and talk series for active seniors and other interested nature lovers

ABCA to host new event for active seniors:

Awesome Autumn – The Wonders of Fall

to be hosted at Morrison Dam Conservation Area

 

Active local seniors have the opportunity to stroll through the scenic trails at Morrison Dam Conservation Area to enjoy and learn about the wonders of autumn during this final nature Walk-and-Talk of 2009.

The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) is hosting an ‘Awesome Autumn – The Wonders of Fall at Morrison Dam’ hike for active seniors on Tuesday, October 13 from 1 – 3 p.m. at Morrison Dam Conservation Area, near Exeter.

“This is a wonderful time of year to head outside and enjoy the outdoor sights, sounds and smells that the fall season provides,” said Julie Stellingwerff, ABCA Conservation Education Specialist.

The October 13 event should be an attractive finale to the popular four-part series, as participants will come along on a two-hour interpretive walk-and-talk, focusing on the season’s last wildflowers, migrating birds and fall’s fantastic colours.

The event is ideal for seniors but anyone is welcome to attend the event, according to organizers. Interested people can meet ABCA staff at the workshop behind the ABCA Administration Office. Participants are encouraged to bring a hat, a bottle of water, and comfortable shoes, as they will be hiking in the conservation area. The cost is $5 per person and beverages will be available afterwards (please bring your own mug).

The ABCA Administration Office is located at 71108 Morrison Line, Exeter, Ontario, just two kilometres east of Exeter (40 minutes north of London, and 45 minutes southeast of Goderich).

For more information on the Seniors Walk-and-Talk events, phone Julie or Denise at 519-235-2610 or 1-888-286-2610, e-mail jstellingwerff@abca.on.ca or diszczuk@abca.on.ca or visit abca.on.ca

Popular Huron Map Updated - 2nd edition Buy Local! Buy Fresh! Map highlighting places to get locally grown food has been released with 129 listings.

The Buy Local! Buy Fresh! Map highlighting places to get locally grown food has been released with 129 listings. Fourteen local producers and 21 restaurants who offer local foods from across Huron and Perth Counties have been added.

The map includes where to buy local food such as vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, baked goods and maple syrup. New this year are participating restaurants who celebrate and serve local foods. The map also includes seasonal attractions and tour information.

The Buy Local! Buy Fresh! Map is produced by the Huron Perth Farm to Table Committee. Chairperson Janice Dunbar says the map has been very popular with over 50,000 copies distributed in the first year. She says they expected to have enough for two years, but it has been so popular it had to be updated and reprinted. Another 50,000 have been printed. The map is free and available at every tourist operation, libraries, municipal offices, health units, food producers and participating restaurants.

Ms. Dunbar says the map is easy to use. She suggests keeping it your glovebox and plan weekend drives to favourite spots. “People are more and more aware of the importance of eating locally grown foods. It’s great quality, supports local agriculture and protects the environment. This map helps people connect directly with the people who produce or serve fresh and local foods.”

The map will also be available online at www.huroncounty.ca/health
