Our water is drinkable! Until now, we could not say that our water was safe for drinking. That’s despite the fact that it was filtered, chlorinated, and tested daily for adequate chlorine & weekly for lack of pathogens. Since the Walkerton tragedy of E. Coli contamination in May 2000 that lead to 7 deaths and thousand of illnesses, the regulations for drinking water have become incredibly rigorous in Ontario. (some say excessively so) But after several years of work and many thousands of dollars in expenses, we now meet the regulations! So rest assured that you can safely drink the water at Bare Oaks.

  We have introduced a video tour of Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park. A TV with 4 headphones has been installed in the office to show the video to visitors. There are many reasons for the video: Do a better, more consistent job of giving a tour Provide a more complete look at the park and its activities regardless of weather or season Include information about the philosophy behind naturism Give tours to everyone – in the last two years, we have been getting so many visitors that we just didn’t have the staff to give a tour to everyone Stop touring clothed people aroundRead More →

On the penultimate day of Toronto’s Fashion Week, the fashionable thing to wear to the Theatre Passe Muraille was your birthday suit. Thursday night’s clothing-optional performance was a great success with a near-capacity audience of 133. The majority of crowd enjoyed the show clothes-free. Maev Beaty and Erin Shields, the performers and co-creators of the production who spend most of the show nude on stage, also enjoyed the event.  After the show, they both commented that it “felt like a special event” and that they were “very excited for this performance.” Erin added that “it was just wonderful… just people really generous… sitting there… enjoyingRead More →

The Naturist Living Show has exceeded 100, 000 downloads (not hits or impressions) of the show! And that number to continues to grow every day and the rate of growth is also increasing. Here are a few facts about the podcast: It is audio-only so only true naturists or those genuinely interested in naturism listen (we don’t get downloads of the show from people just looking for nudity because there are no pictures) Each download is many megabytes in size and the show is nearly an hour long so the involvement level is very high. (it’s not just a ‘hit’ or ‘impression’) Unlike a radioRead More →

The Federation of Canadian Naturist (FCN) just sent out the following announcement which is important to all naturists in Canada: The final court date of the Coldin trial has been rescheduled to May 17th in Bracebridge. Originally scheduled for today (Jan. 25) in Bracebridge, the hearing could not proceed because Mr. Coldin’s lawyer, Clayton Ruby, was unable to attend due to car troubles on his way to the trial. For naturists and those interested in legal affairs, this last day should be the most interesting since Mr. Ruby and the crown will be making constitutional arguments as to the validity of section 174 of the criminalRead More →
