COVID-19 update: Our Monday evening walks have resumed! Now that we’re in Step 2, we are allowed outdoor gatherings of 25 people. This means that it is no longer necessary to pre-register. For further information, contact Bill McIlveen at wmcilveen@sympatico.ca.
Remember masks and physical distancing.
Summer walks are scheduled in the evenings from May to August. All walks are on Mondays and start at the meet location at 7:00pm sharp and last about 2 hours.
Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear and be prepared for biting insects.
Not as advertised! Some destinations may change if preliminary site visits determine that a site lacks sufficient interesting items. In such cases, the meeting location will remain unchanged but the trip destination will be altered to a nearby location.
Please contact us for more information.
