The registration fee includes the new special event badge, however, it will be up to a hiker who has not earned the badge in time to receive it on the last hike to arrange to pick up the badge or have it posted to them. The fee goes towards supporting the Iroquoia Bruce Trail Club, which in turn supports the mission of the Bruce Trail Conservancy, which is: “Preserving a ribbon of wilderness, for everyone, forever.” For the time being, registration for the Iroquoia E2E-in-Ten will be limited to members of the Bruce Trail Conservancy. Hikers can belong to any section. A maximum of 3 (of the 10) hikes can be self-completed as a result of scheduling challenges, but it is intended that this badge be earned while hiking as part of a group led by a certified hike leader.

If required, the hike schedule will be adjusted for severe weather. TRANSPORTATION This series will be through hikes and will require car shuttling, you must be willing to drive or to be a passenger. Some parking locations require paid parking, and hikes that enter Halton Conservation Areas will require reservations. The fee for the E2E-in-Ten does not cover any parking/entry fees for hikers who are not members of the Halton CA and/or Hamilton CA. If the group has enough hikers who are members of a CA, those will be the cars chosen to park in those areas so as to minimize costs. At least one hike starts at one CA and ends at another, so parking fees are unavoidable for non-CA members.
