Cancelled due to lack of registrants.
Bus departs 10 York Mills Rd at 8:00 AM and Major Mackenzie Dr and HWY 400 Park and Ride at 8:20 AM. If you wish to be picked up at the Major Mackenzie Dr and HWY 400 Park and Ride, select that option when you register. Please arrive 15 minutes before departure. The bus waits for no one.
Mother nature isn’t cooperating. The coming week will be mild and rainy. Horseshoe only has a 5 to 10 cm base. We have no idea how it will hold up.
Nijole and Martina were in Awenda on Sat Feb 11 and conditions were perfect for everything. So we’re going to try Awenda Provincial Park again. Be prepared to pick your activity according to the conditions on Saturday. If snowshoeing is good – great! If winter hiking is better – enjoy! If skiing is possible – bonus! The trip will run no matter what (assuming we have enough registrants).
Driving time to Awenda is 1.75 hours. It’s so worth it to spend the day on the shore of Georgian Bay.
Winter hikers: Explore the trails on your own or join Nijole and Tanya for a guided 10 KM hike on Awenda’s beautiful winter trails. The hike will traverse parts of the Bluff, Wendat, and Connector trails, and will also circle around Kettle’s Lake. Mostly flat with a few short hills. Pace will be approximately 3 km/hr. Plenty of time to take pictures and enjoy the scenery. Skiers: If conditions allow, enjoy self-guided tours of Awenda’s beautiful ski trails with majestic views of Georgian Bay. No rentals. No food or drink.
For information about trail conditions visit: https://www.ontarioparks.com/skireport.
Coach fare must be paid online when you register. Park admission ($4 per person) will be collected in cash on the bus. No quarters, dimes or nickels will be accepted. Masks are mandatory while on the bus.

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
Transportation
It is the Bruce Trail Conservancy’s current policy that car shuttles are allowed. It is at the discrepancy of individual hike leaders to make that decision.
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.
