Climbing or canyoneering in Ontario is very hard... in fact parks do a good job of making it illegal to engage in *any* activity that is preceived as dangerous.
"The Provincial Parks and Conservation Reserves Act, 2006 O. Reg 347/07 Section 11(1) states: 11. (1) No person shall rappel or rock climb in a provincial park with or without the aid of ropes, anchors or similar equipment except in an area designated by the superintendent for the purpose. "
