Description

Join us for a enjoyable 2.5 hour loop hike on the Kortright Centre for Conservation trails in Kleinberg (beginners are welcome) and a delightful lunch before the club’s first in-person AGM since 2019 beginning at 1:00 pm. The theme of the meeting will be biodiversity with guest speaker Dr. Justina Ray who will be speaking on the topic after the business part of the meeting. Both the bus and lunch are being offered for a reduced fee and so a high turnout is needed for the success of the event. Please join us to reconnect with friends, make new friends and spend a fun and interactive day. It’s also a wonderful opportunity to get to know your TBTC better and to invite a friend or family member so they can learn what our club and the BT Conservancy is all about.

Please join us for the Toronto Bruce Trail Club Annual General Meeting.

There are two hikes available:

Biodiversity Hike — Comparing the Humber River Watershed and the Niagara Escarpment, what might we learn from both of these habitats about the importance of protecting biodiversity in the Greenbelt? This 3 km hike will involve learning to identify in the field spring flora and fauna, as well as talks and discussions led by members of the Biodiversity Team about their work on Bruce Trail Conservancy properties in the Toronto Club section along the Niagara Escarpment.

Photography Hike — With professional photographer David Allen. As described on his website (http://www.highparkphotos.ca), “David has been a professional photographer for many years, both in the studio and on numerous locations across Canada.” He will provide tips and advice on how to improve your pictures. Bring your DSLR camera, iPad or iPhone, or other devices.

After the hike, we will arrive at the Kortright Centre for lunch before the AGM starts.
