    COVID-19 Precautions Before, During and After your Hike

    1. Each hiker joining a Bruce Trail Club organized hike must perform a self-screening check before hiking.

    2. If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, stay home.
    3. Personal Protective Equipment:
      • Hikers may choose to wear masks
      • Hikers may carry and use hand sanitizer, but should not be sharing it with the group
    4. Hikers who experience COVID-19 symptoms following a Bruce Trail Club organized hike must inform their local public health unit.

    Transportation

    All hikers are responsible for their own transportation to and from the hike.

    Other Guidelines

    1. Arrive 15 minutes before the start of the hike.

      Hiking poles are a good idea in any season, especially if the terrain is rocky or slippery. In winter, snowshoes or icers/crampons are needed when conditions dictate.
      Wearing appropriate clothing and footwear prevents injuries and shows consideration for a safe and positive group hiking experience.
    3. Always carry I.D. and your health card.

    COVID-19 Precautions Before, During and After your Hike

    1. Each hiker joining a Bruce Trail Club organized hike must perform a self-screening check before hiking.
      Find Ontario’s self-assessment tool here: https://covid-19.ontario.ca/self-assessment/
    2. If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, stay home.
    3. Personal Protective Equipment:
      • Hikers may choose to wear masks
      • Hikers may carry and use hand sanitizer, but should not be sharing it with the group
    4. Hikers who experience COVID-19 symptoms following a Bruce Trail Club organized hike must inform their local public health unit.
      Find your local health unit at http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/common/system/services/phu/locations.aspx

     

    Transportation

    All hikers are responsible for their own transportation to and from the hike.

    Other Guidelines

Seton Park and Taylor Creek Trail. We will stick to the less well trodden paths close to the Don West Creek, avoiding the heavily trafficked paved route. It is better shaded and fewer cyclists.

    Registration for this event opens on July 17th.

    An early departure to avoid the worst heat of the day and you’ll have the afternoon and evening free.

    As a bonus, if some want to continue we can do an additional 2.5 km along Taylor Creek east of Victoria Park, ending at Warden Subway Station. You can decide when we reach the subway at Victoria Park.

    Route: https://onthegomap.com/s/blsgct6e

    Washrooms: A surprising number of washrooms are open along this route between Sunnybrook and Dawes Road just a little east of Victoria Park.

    What to bring: At least 2 litres of water, snacks and sun protection. Mosquitoes were active in the area last time I went through and we do pass some marshy areas.
