Description

Looking for something fun to do on Canada Day?  We’re offering you a chance to go on a hike along the Credit River footpath, then march with the Halton Hills Chapter of the Toronto Club at the Glen Williams Canada Day parade! This tiny hamlet known as the Glen, puts on a fantastic, small-town patriotic parade, just like in the movies. Afterwards, you can attend the celebration in the park, grab some food and picnic, listen to music, and tour various booths at the market. To sign up for this hike, you must also commit to participate in the parade (and bring a flag if you have one, and wear red colours!).

The hike will be approximately 5k in length with an additional 2k related to the parade. Bring snacks (and a lunch if you don’t want to buy it at the park). There are washrooms at the park and we will stop for a bio break on the trail. The terrain is relatively flat with some uneven ground and a few modest hills. Wear sunscreen, hat, bring bug spray and lots of water. Dress appropriately for the weather. The pace will be moderate and relaxed.
