Join us on Bruce Trail Day for a hike in the beautiful natural environment of Niagara. The theme for Bruce Trail Day is BRUCE TRAIL FOR ALL. This hike celebrates the unifying and connecting power of nature to bring us all together. We will take a hike together on trails around Niagara College, and then enjoy light food and drinks as part of the Bruce Trail Day celebration. This hike is suitable for new hikers, or anyone who wants to explore the trails at a moderate pace. The terrain is a mix of relatively flat trail around the wetlands and some rocky path with some ups and downs on the escarpment along the Bruce Trail. Note that it is not suitable terrain for anyone with significant mobility challenges due to rocky sections of the path and the elevation associated with crossing the escarpment – the Easy Does it Hike on the schedule for Bruce Trail Day would be a more suitable option. This is one of a series of “Welcome Hikes” that invite first time/new hikers to try out the trail, enjoy an organized hike experience and learn more about the Niagara Bruce Trail club. We especially welcome folks who are joining via the CANOO App. Children are welcome with a guardian. Important note: Those hiking for the first time on the Bruce Trail can earn the special “My First Hike” badge by participating in this hike. You can expect to develop a passion for badges after this! In order to be comfortable on the hike, please: - Wear comfortable, hiking shoes or boots (rocky terrain and some mud is possible)
- Comfortable clothing, be prepared for weather changes
- Carry water for drinking
- A hat and insect repellent
- Hiking poles are recommended for going up and down the escarpment on the trails
Advance registration is encouraged, but it is also possible to show up and register on-site. Please arrive 10 minutes before the scheduled hike time to check in with the hike leaders. We will meet by the Niagara college greenhouse.

Distance: 12 – 15k per day Description
Meet time is 8:15 for 8:30 start. . This is a special series of 7 hikes to complete the Niagara section of the Bruce Trail. There will be a new accomplishment badge, included in the registration fee featuring the White-tailed deer – which has been designed by Joe Borges and will be made available on our last day. The White-tailed deer is common throughout Niagara. For this E2E in 7, we will be following the main trail from Grimsby to the BTC Southern Terminus at Queenston. Please note that you are signing up for the entire series of 7 hikes as a Group Hike. The section is approximately 85km so daily distances will be based on available parking. No dropout points have been established and therefore hikers who must drop out, will be responsible for their own transportation back to their vehicle. We will hike at a steady pace but there will be plenty of time to take pictures and to enjoy the flora and fauna of this beautiful but challenging section. Again, this particular set of 7 hikes is intended to be Moderate/Brisk. Hikers will be expected to be wearing proper hiking boots and layered clothing. Sufficient food and 2 litres of water for a full day of hiking is required as well as hiking poles (if you use them). Check the daily forcast and prepare for wet weather, as well. Clothing adjustments, bio-breaks are as needed. Please let the sweep person know and they will wait for you. A morning break around 10am and a 10-15 minute on-trail lunch break will be scheduled. Car Shuttles and Missing Hikes A maximum of 2 (of the 7) 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.
Some parking locations require paid parking, and hikes that enter Niagara Parks. The fee for this E2E-in-7 does not include any parking/entry fees for hikers. These costs, where applicable, will be shared amongst all participants unless you have a parking or park pass.

Distance: ~3km Description
This work party is to continue with our invasive buckthorn removal at St.Pauls Nature Reserve. We are hoping to get lots of volunteers out and tackle this area in one work party per year. Volunteers make a difference – come out & join us! Invasive buckthorn removal methods vary based on how big the buckthorn is – small plants can be pulled by hand and hung upside down so the roots dry out and die. Medium sized are removed with the help of extractigators – special shovel like tools that make pulling much easier & large buckthorn “trees” must be cut with a chainsaw. BTC Ecologists as well as certified chain sawyers will be there to help us. Plan on arriving so we can all walk in together at 10am but it’s an easy walk out if anybody wants to leave after a shorter amount of time. Remember to wear long pants, long sleeves, work gloves, bring lots of water & bring a lunch if you are staying for the duration! Please register so you will be included in any relevant correspondence.
