Pace: Leisurely (2-3 km/hr), Moderate (3-4 km/hr)
Terrain: Level 2 (Intermediate – some hills and uneven surfaces, rocks and roots underfoot)
Distance (km): 10.8 kmDescription
This is the fourth in a series of five hikes that will be offered approximately one Sunday per month so that participants can earn the Toronto Side Trails Badge during the winter and early spring. Each out-and-back hike will cover a distance of 8-11 km and be hiked at a leisurely to moderate pace (approximately 3 km/h). Please note that the hikes will be posted separately on the BTC calendar – you will have to register for each hike that you’re interested in joining.For this fourth hike we will explore one long side trail in the Toronto section of the Bruce Trail: the Vanderleck Side Trail.
Please dress appropriately for a winter hike by dressing in layers (wear an inner layer that wicks sweat away from your skin, a middle layer that keeps you warm, and an outer layer that protects you from wind and snow), wearing gloves/mittens and a toque, and wearing warm and comfortable footwear that has good traction in snow/ice (icers placed over your boots work great!). Hiking poles or walking sticks are an asset since they will help keep you balanced if the ground is slippery. As well, make sure you bring enough water and food for a 4 hour hike since we’ll be covering a total distance of 10.8 km over terrain that has some hills and exposed rocks.
Since parking might be limited at the places we’ll be hiking in this hike series, we will meet at the Trafalgar & 401 Commuter Lot (43.571569, -79.831797) and then carpool to the start of each hike. Please be prepared to participate in each carpool by ensuring you have space in your car if you are not already carpooling with others to the Commuter Lot meeting point.
After the hike, interested participants can join me at the Tim Horton’s on Trafalgar Road just a bit south of Highway 401 for some post-hike refreshment.
Looking forward to exploring some of Toronto’s side trails with you!

Hiking poles will make the ascent easier and give more stability on uneven footing. We will hike to the site of the very first blaze on the Bruce Trail and admire the views of Lake Ontario and the vineyards of Cave Spring and Malivoire wineries. Winter offers the most unobstructed views of this beautiful area. We will return the way we came.Hikers that are not registered cannot be accommodated on this hike.

This strenuous snowshoe hike passes a wonderful variety of landscapes and ecosystems from wetlands to escarpment ridges. We visit one of Sydenham’s authorized campsites, Birch Camp. Our actual pace will depend on mid-March trail conditions. Regardless, the hike will require an effort that matches what would be required on a summer hike of a brisk pace of 4-5 km/h.

The hike will cover the last 2.5 km of the Toronto section of the Main Bruce Trail and then follow the western section of the Caledon Trailway back to Terra Cotta Conservation Area. For those who have been on the five previous Winter Badge E2E hikes, completing this bus trip will qualify you for the awarding of the badge on this hike. For anyone taking this hike, it will be a moderate hike over the path of a former Canadian National (CN) rail line, originally built in 1877. Since the path is over the old rail bed, it is well-drained and well-surfaced, flat, and straight. However, it goes through woods and meadows, and we are already seeing there spring migratory birds like red-winged blackbirds and flocks of cedar waxwings. A celebration of the ending of the winter bus hikes and social hour will be held in Georgetown after the hike. Any hikers joining us for the very first time on a hike with the club on the Bruce Trail will receive a “My First Hike” badge.Glasgow Village Whitchurch-Stouffville 230

Distance: 7-8 kmsDescription
On March 14, 1793, Chloe Cooley, was an enslaved Black woman living in Niagara, who fought for her freedom, and the freedom of thousands like her. On that date, her brave act of resistance led to the enactment of the first piece of legislation to limit enslavement in Great Britain AND the gradual abolition of enslavement in Canada. It also set the stage for the great freedom movement of enslaved African Americans known as the Underground Railroad. We will hike to where her powerful act of bravery is thought to have taken place and is marked with a plaque.This hike will take us along the General Brock Side Trail (GBST) and on then on the Niagara Parkway (NP). The GBST’s terrain is hilly/moderate. After stopping at the plaque, we will partially retrace our steps, then climb a long set of metal stairs to take note of another plaque before returning to our cars.
The terrain may be icy and/or snow covered. Hiking poles and icers are advised, depending on the conditions. The main parking lot will be closed for the winter so park near the washrooms. A parking fee applies.
PLEASE NOTE: This hike counts as 1 of the 3 required hikes towards the Black History badge. If you have completed 3 hikes, and are interested in receiving a badge, please let me know.
For much more information about Chloe Cooley and Ontario’s Black history, open the link below. There are several very interesting videos embedded within the TVO Today 2023 article.
