    Open Meeting: NBTC DEIB committee

    The Niagara Bruce Trail Club Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) committee needs your help.

    We meet regularly as a committee but are opening up several meetings a year to invite you to join us as we promote the Bruce Trail for All!

    We are working to identify barriers to members participating in group hikes, barriers to non-members engaging with the club, and barriers to volunteers becoming hike leaders. We are also exploring proactive ways to offer hikes and join events that help connect more community members to the trail.

    We invite you to join us to learn more or contribute ideas.

    We are holding an open meeting on Wednesday March 26, at 6pm via Zoom.  Interested in participating?  Register here and we will send you the Zoom link to join online ahead of the meeting.

    Agenda for March 26 meeting:

    • Quick intro to what we do as the NBTC DEIB committee and our plans for 2025
    • Discussion of a draft member survey to identify barriers people experience to hiking on the Niagara Bruce Trail
    • New types of hikes we should consider offering/plan to offer
    • Events the NBTC should consider participating in this year

    Join us to share your thoughts and opinions!
