Operating on the premise that some of our best southern Ontario scenery runs through wine country, our club occasionally designs driving tours that take advantage of this. Sometimes working alone and at other times with a local wine club, we have a destination that provides insight into this natural resource.

We have not had a Golf Day for a while. If you would like to organize one, please contact the webmaster

Osler Bluff Ski Club

Thurs March 1st, 2012

We’ve picked the date and have a beautiful sunny day on order for the 2012 UCR Ski Day. Join us for the highlight of the UCR winter calendar on Thursday, March 1, 2012 at the Osler Bluff Ski Club in beautiful Collingwood and start shaking off the winter blues.

This private ski club (www.oslerbluff.com) is ideally situated for optimal natural snow and its 743 feet of vertical drop rates among the best in Ontario. The natural ski terrain provides some of the longest and most scenic trails for every level of skier, from beginner to expert.

Your hosts for this year’s event are Don Lewtas ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) and Phil Downe ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ). All UCR members, their family and friends are invited to join us for the day. The ski-lift ticket cost will be $62.00 per person to be paid upon arrival at the Main Clubhouse where you will turn in a waiver (attached) and pick up your ticket. Any persons under 18 years of age will require the waiver to be signed by a parent.

The Main Clubhouse with its panoramic view of the slopes offers a-la-carte food service for both breakfast and lunch or you can bring your own. Then, after a full day on the hill everyone is welcome to the aprés-ski, wine and cheese social hosted by Don Lewtas and Barbara Mitton at their chalet nearby.

Need some gear? No problem! Squire John’s is right on site with a full range of ski, snowboard and safety equipment but you’ll have to make arrangements in advance, (see attached). Have a non-skier in the group? No problem! The Scandinave Spa Blue Mountain is just a few minutes down the road and a day pass also makes a nice stocking-stuffer. They also require bookings in advance.

Everything you need to know is right here in the  waiver, so please contact either Don or myself at the email addresses above to register, or let us know if you need any further information.

WHEN: Sunday, June 3rd - 9:30 am to 2:30 pm.

What is a Fun Run?

A Fun Run is a Saturday or Sunday drive with 10 to 15 fellow Porsches, lasting 4 to 6 hours. Posted on the Web Site Calendar and in Provinz. There is no cost to participate in a Fun Run.

Hosting a Fun Run

We all have our favourite roads in our own area that are interesting and now this is your opportunity to share these roads with the rest of UCR.

What we need from you is the starting point and three possible dates that you are available to lead the pack on your route. We need three dates to help avoid conflicts in the scheduling of these 'Fun Runs'. You just have to lead the 10 to 15 Porsches on your favourite route. Your start and end points for the route are entirely up to you.

You may choose to start at a coffee shop or plaza and end at a specified place for brunch, or at a museum or even your own back yard for a BBQ. It's your call. It is also your call as to how many cars you are willing to have participate. However, we suggest 10 to 15 cars, because it is more manageable.
UCR is a large region and encompasses a large geographical area, having members in Windsor, London, Kitchener-Waterloo, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Muskoka, Peterborough and the Greater Toronto Area. The intent of the 'Fun Run' events is to have many small enjoyable drives with fellow UCR members in a variety of locations in our region. I think this could be fun!
