    Hi Dave. It's a Canadian tradition it seems. The vehicle is called
    a 'Bombardier' and they haven't changed - I remember them
    as a kid, and believe they are from the 1940's. Most guys
    use snowmobiles or quads.

    With so many ice huts in one location, at times it can become
    like a small village. Others simply drill a hole in the ice
    and sit on an upturned bucket.........

    Made a trip to the 'Toronto Military Show' today, and was
    near enough to the city core for a few more pics:

    First one is facing downtown Toronto from the west at
    Sunnyside Beach near Lake Ontario's Humber Bay.
    I was driving along Lake Shore Boulevard, looking
    for a good random place to stop for photos.
    This area was a very popular amusement
    park from 1922 to 1955.

    The colourized pic is what the park looked like in 1931.
    ( I found a broken hockey stick near the shore
    to rest the helmet on. )

    Hi all (steve) I have been following this thread for nearly a couple of years, I don't know how it works for sure but if you would like me to PM my address to you as you are the current holder of this well travelled lid I would be most happy to take a few images( after a bit of decoration) and then post it on! Leon.

    Next, the helmet on a bust of Sir Casimir Gzowski, ( 1813-1898 )
    an engineer who served as acting Lieutenant Governor of
    Ontario in 1896-97. This memorial, with a railroad theme,
    is in the lakeside park which is named after him.

    His great-great grandson, Peter Gzowski, ( 1934-2002 )
    was a famous Canadian writer, reporter and
    CBC radio broadcaster.

    Lastly, a pic of the western Toronto skyline - just south of the
    Canadian National Exhibition grounds, beside Ontario Place.

    Behind me is the old mooring of the Destroyer 'HMCS Haida'
    - which I visited years ago as a grade school student - that
    has since been moved across the lake to Hamilton, which
    is on the southwestern shores of Lake Ontario.
    Just yards away, a Spitfire and an Avro Lancaster were
    displayed here too, but have also been taken away.
    The Spit was sold off for $1.

    It is early spring here, and no plants or buds have
    blossomed yet, but it's good to see
    open water.........

    Looks great Steve! I particularly like the fact you managed to randomly find a discarded hockey stick to use as a stand. It doesn't get much more Canadian than that.

    The Spitfire was sold?

    " I'm putting off procrastination until next week "
