Smile Canada Ontario 2015 Meeting at Lake Couchiching June 18-21, 2015
New Date and Great New Location - HU Ontario 2015 will be held at the OELC (Ontario Education Leadership Centre) along the shores of beautiful Lake Couchiching, only 1 hour north of Toronto.

This fabulous 180 acre site has everything, and more, that you were asking for: great family style, all you care to eat catered meals; heated presentation rooms and dining hall all in the same building; choice of heated motel-style rooms or dorm rooms, with washrooms-both at very reasonable rates; unlimited grassy camping; two large fire pits; wifi; within 10 miles of the BMW OFF-Road Training School: BMW Horseshoe; and lots of great roads and trails nearby for every skill level and riding style.

Online registration open now!

I might have to stop in and check out the new place (Though I did like the old place (despite it being a bit chilly)).

Any photography classes at the HU Ontario event?
Hi Folks,

Next best thing to experiencing long distance motorcycle adventures first hand is being able to share them with others via photos and videos.

Will there be any photography classes at the HU Ontario event? Expect there will be folks there who've got great photography skills and have seen awesome sights. It would be great to learn first hand from these adventure photography experts.

Thanks for any suggestions! See you in Ontario. Ed

Hi All,

HU noob and lurker for some time. I finally signed up and am planning to partially attend this Ontario event.

I'd attend the whole weekend, but have another planned ride the same weekend. There are so many presenters on the event list that I'd like to see. Is there a presenter time schedule yet to help with planning my partial visit?

Thanks,

Rich

schedule
I am the lead for presenters for this meeting and have been working on the schedule. There is still space available. Drop me an e-mail and let me know when you are thinking of presenting and the topic. Also - if there is enough interest we can open up another room.

Hi mustgo2011,

Yes, I am only looking for a schedule of presentations for participation not presenting. Thanks though. Perhaps one year I will do a presentation.

I'll wait for the schedule posting and go from there.

newbie question
This event looks awesome, does it usually take place in June every year? or does it vary?

This is the first time it has been held in June. Last year was September and it was too cold. Hope you can make it, it going to be great. Tell your friends.

Great time!
I went for the first time last year and met Greg, Grant, Susan and so many great people. The amount of information that you can glean from the people who have actually travelled the world, is staggering.

Whether you want to travel one day or just spend a weekend living vicariously through others, this is a great time!

Attended all of them since 2012. Great to hear the stories of those who dared going on long trips.

Hoping to leave with others riding through Ottawa on the Thursday morning using a as scenic as possible route to get there (kio, paul, Dave,others?)...

We'll see in due course. Going for sure. Would not miss it!

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
