For those times when you're sitting around trying to dream up a crazy adventure for the weekend or the day off, there are many resources to consult. From the internet to the iPhone apps to that guy with the beard and Birkenstocks, you are bound to find something to do. I, for one, have been in this situation before many a time and while the above mentioned resources are handy, I have found the one and only guide for local active leisure that I will ever need....as long as I live in or near Québec anyway.

It is the Guide de Plein Air de Québec and is available at La Cordée for around $30. Its extensive collection of information for all regions of Québec make this a must-have for anyone who likes to Do it Local. Sure you can hop over to Ontario or Vermont or Maine... but sometimes, it feels good to explore and profit from your own backyard!

Each activity and/or area is efficiently explained in one-pagers complete with URL, phone numbers and little tips and hints. The details given are just enough that you can make a seriously informed decision of which activity you want to partake in, where you want go, and how to get the detailed minutiae of your next great adventure. As you can see from the photo, my copy is still nice and shiny even though it's been at my hip for 3 solid years now. I am lovin it!

Seriously, make the leap, make a commitment to Doin' it Local and see how awesome it can be to discover your very own backyard week after week! All 4 seasons are represented, a sweet map, ideas for family outings and even places to hit with the company for those team-building activities that are proving to be crucial for success...
