Description
June 21st is National Indigenous Peoples' Day and the summer solstice, the longest day of the year.
Join us to celebrate both on this trip to beautiful Awenda Provincial Park, on the shores of Georgian Bay, where we'll enjoy a lovely circular route, the Bluff Trail, and make a detour down the staircase to the beach for lunch. Afterwards, we'll make the short drive to Saint-Marie among the Hurons, an historic site and Huronia education centre. Hikers are welcome to take a self-guided tour and also take advantage of special National Indigenous Peoples' Day programming: Legends of Lacrosse. See the website for more information on timed presentations and skills sessions. https://saintemarieamongthehurons.on.ca/
In advance of our visit, Saint-Marie is also offering a full day of free online Indigenous-led learning on Friday, June 20. Register early and log in on June 20 to view videos live or on demand through until June 30.
Admission to Saint-Marie is a flat $12 each. Payment will be collected on the bus (exact change please) or if you'd like to save time, you can purchase your ticket online.
