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. Follow the guidelines for safe & responsible hiking
4. 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
5. 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.
Currently, there are no car shuttles on hikes – all hikes must be out-and-back or loop hikes. No buses are provided at this time.
Other Guidelines
1. Arrive 15 minutes before the start of the hike.
2. Wear sturdy footwear and appropriate attire for the weather and the terrain.
  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.
4. Bring sufficient water and snacks (or lunch if indicated). A minimum of 1L of water is recommended on all hikes, and 3L is recommended for long, challenging hikes in the heat of the summer.
5. Bring sunscreen and insect repellent (for spring and summer hikes).
6. Bring your own first aid kit.
7. Please leave dogs at home.

Hike Leader(s): Wayne Crockett Click here to contact Hike Leader(s)
Pace: Moderate
Terrain: Variable
Distance: 18 km
Description

Join us for a meandering Labour Day Weekend walk from Lawrence Park via a variety of trails and ravines (with a little road walking) that will take us through Sherwood Park, Sunnybrook Park, E.T. Seton Park, Crothers Woods and the Brickworks, to finish at Castle Frank Subway Station. We will follow the trails less well trodden along the Don West Creek and Don River, avoiding the paved routes as much as possible. If there has been heavy rain prior to the walk we may have to alter the route slightly in Crothers Woods to avoid contributing to the erosion problems on the trails there. But lots of nice views and some hills to make it interesting.
An early start to avoid the worst heat of the day.
What you need: Two litres of water, your lunch, bug spray and sun protection and, if the weather is dicey, a waterproof layer. Because there may be mud and there are definitely hills, hiking boots and poles are recommended.
Our Route: https://onthegomap.com/s/8fdg50se
Dropouts: There are several points along the way where you can dropout if you wish to make a shorter walk. I plan to maintain a pace of about 3.5 km per hour.
