Hike Leader(s): Andrew Proczek Click here to contact Hike Leader(s) Pace: Leisurely
Terrain: Flat
Distance: 6.5 km car users; 9.3 km transit users Description
Come and join us for an encore tour of Meadowvale Village with local resident, Terry Wilson, and sample some homemade pumpkin pie in the bargain. If you’ve missed the previous tours, here is your chance to meet and hear a wonderful storyteller. To begin Terry will guide us through his replica miniature pioneer village, a labor of love created with his late mother Rosemary in a desperate and loving response to what was quickly being lost in an ever-encroaching city. After exploring his miniature Meadowvale Village, Terry will accompany and guide us through the life-size one. If you have an interest in Canadian Painting and the Group of Seven you will find the tour all the more interesting. It is said, if Meadowvale Village hadn’t existed, a collective of artists would have had to invent it. Fred Haines, a colleague and friend of the Group of Seven, is probably the village’s most revered artist who lived there for 26 years until 1930. Starting from the Credit Valley Conservation Authority parking we will hike a section of the former Radial Railway within the Meadowvale Conservation Area and then back and over the pedestrian bridge spanning the Credit and work our way East to the Old Village. Together, the hike/tour will take approx. 3.5 hours including a 30-minute lunch/pumpkin pie stop in Rosemary’s Garden. Terry’s latest volume of stories, titled, “Home with Rosemary” 2022, can now be purchased from Amazon.ca. I will be raffling a few copies of this volume and some premium bakery goods. Please bring loonies or twonies. Each ticket will cost only $1. I will also have a few copies of Terry’s book on hand for a $30 reduced price for any takers. Terry does not charge for his tours, so it is always with hope that you purchase his stories. The tour will be done in two loops and car users will also have the opportunity to drop out early on the second loop shortly after lunch. Public Washrooms available inside the Conservation Area grounds that we can access before and after our village tour. Please bring minimum 1.5 L of water, a lunch or snacks, and your questions for Terry. You can watch Terry’s YouTube video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sv3xliKZtYE
