Bill Steer, the CEC’s General Manager, is also known locally as “Back Roads Bill”. Bill is a resident of North Bay and is passionate about the North and the beauty that can be found there. He encourages people to come, see and stay a while as they discover what is close at hand in Ontario. Whether it is an obscure waterfall, a special “Blue Lagoon”, or a lookout that gives you a vista that goes for miles across a pristine lake, Bill has been there and welcomes you to join in the discovery of his favourite destination gems.

Although some of his adventures may be a little extreme, Bill has carefully investigated and mapped several easy adventures that someone with special mobility needs can enjoy as well. Bill believes there is pleasure and enjoyment to be found in nature for all and encourages everyone to get outside.
