    Description

    Looking for something fun to do on Canada Day?  We’re offering you a chance to go on a hike along the Credit River footpath, then march with the Halton Hills Chapter of the Toronto Club at the Glen Williams Canada Day parade! This tiny hamlet known as the Glen, puts on a fantastic, small-town patriotic parade, just like in the movies. Afterwards, you can attend the celebration in the park, grab some food and picnic, listen to music, and tour various booths at the market. To sign up for this hike, you must also commit to participate in the parade (and bring a flag if you have one, and wear red colours!).

    The hike will be approximately 5k in length with an additional 2k related to the parade. Bring snacks (and a lunch if you don’t want to buy it at the park). There are washrooms at the park and we will stop for a bio break on the trail. The terrain is relatively flat with some uneven ground and a few modest hills. Wear sunscreen, hat, bring bug spray and lots of water. Dress appropriately for the weather. The pace will be moderate and relaxed.

    Your itinerary for the day:

    9:00 a.m. – 10 a.m.
    Hike out from Glen Williams, along the Credit Valley footpath

    10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.

    Pace: Leisurely (2-3 km/hr)
    Terrain: Level 2 (Intermediate – some hills and uneven surfaces, rocks and roots underfoot)
    Distance (km): 4 km

    Description

    This hike is part of our Rainbow Hike program🌈, which aims to foster connection, visibility, and community among 2SLGBTQIA+ hikers and allies.  We’ll be joined by Doug O’Neill, who leads Rainbow Hikes with the Iroquoia Bruce Trail Club, and Lana Hubbard, a transgender hike leader with the Caledon Bruce Trail Club.

    After everyone checks in with me at the meeting location, we will hike the main Bruce Trail towards Limehouse Conservation Area.  We will then use the Black Creek Side Trail and the main trail to create a loop to visit the oldest draw kiln in Ontario, the infamous stone arch, and the “Hole-in-the-Wall” through escarpment rock.  After our exploration of Limehouse Conservation Area we will retrace our steps back along the main trail to return to our parked cars.  The complete 4 km route will resemble the shape of a lollipop, hence the name of this hike.🍭

    Everyone who participates in this hike will receive a FREE Bruce Trail Pride Badge as well as a sweet rainbow treat from me!

    You should bring 2 litres of water and enough food for a 2-hour hike, comfortable hiking shoes and socks, a hat, a breathable shirt, and lightweight long pants (to minimize the risk of a tick bite).  If rain is in the forecast then a rain jacket would also be a great idea.  Sunblock and bug repellent are also useful if it’s a sunny and buggy day.

    After the hike, anyone who is interested in joining me for some après-hike refreshments at nearby Spirit Tree Estate Cidery (https://spirittreecider.com) is more than welcome to do so.  And if you don’t want to purchase your lunch at Spirit Tree then no worries — we’ll be eating at picnic tables in their outdoor Cider Gardens so you can bring your lunch and still enjoy some great post-hike vibes.

    Looking forward to hiking with you on July 1st!  And feel free to share this page/link with your 2SLGBTQIA+ friends and family.

    For more information on Bruce Trail’s 2SLGBTQIA+ hikes, and to get information on upcoming Rainbow Hikes, please see the following webpage: https://brucetrail.org/pride-2026/

    Description

    Hi everyone! Hike with me at Silver Creek Conservation Area!

    We will begin by hiking a loop that follows the Irwin Quarry Side Trail and the main Bruce Trail north, climbing the escarpment before descending south along Roberts Side Trail, where we will hopefully spot some wildlife around a small pond. This loop returns to our parked cars, allowing hikers who prefer a shorter hike to drop out here.

    Those who would like a longer hike can continue south with me along the main Bruce Trail, crossing 27 Sideroad before connecting with the Maureen Smith Side Trail. From there, we will head north on the Bennett Heritage Side Trail, enjoying scenic escarpment terrain and several bridges along the way. After a short stretch of road walking along 27 Sideroad, we will return to our parked cars.

    You should bring enough water and food for a 3-4 hour hike that is hiked at a moderate pace of about 4 km/h, comfortable hiking shoes, sun and bug protection, and appropriate clothing for the weather.

    Looking forward to seeing you then!

    After everyone checks in with me at the meeting location we’ll do a 10 km out-and-back hike of the main trail through beautiful Hockley Valley Provincial Nature Reserve.  Our route will follow a very hilly part of the Bruce Trail, but don’t worry — we’ll summit the hills slowly and take lots of breaks along the way, so any fit Rainbow Hiker is welcome to join us.

    Everyone who participates in this hike will receive a FREE Bruce Trail Pride Badge!

    Please bring at least 2 litres of water, your lunch, and enough snacks for a 4-hour hike.   You should wear comfortable hiking shoes and socks, a hat, a breathable shirt, and lightweight long pants (to minimize the risk of a tick bite).  If rain is in the forecast then a rain jacket would also be a great idea.  Sunblock and bug repellent are also useful if it’s a sunny and buggy day.

    After the hike, anyone who is interested in joining me for a refreshing mocktail at nearby Hockley Valley Resort (https://hockley.com/eat/) is more than welcome to do so.

    Looking forward to hiking with you on July 18th!  And feel free to share this page/link with your 2SLGBTQIA+ friends and family.

    This third hike will take us from Sixth Line, north of Limehouse to the entrance of the Walking Fern ST (on the 10th Line).  The  terrain will vary, there will be some hilly sections and sections with uneven, rocky terrain, making footing tricky to navigate.

    July weather can be hot, muggy and buggy! So, dress for the weather, keeping in mind that insects, including ticks, will be out in full force.  Take appropriate precautions to avoid insect bites, including using repellant and clothing that covers the legs and arms.  Hiking shoes/boots are required and hiking poles are recommended.

    Bring plenty of fluids, including electrolytes, and a snack/lunch.

    As this is a group hike, please consider your fitness level before registering.  We will be walking at a pace of 3km – 4km per hour and everyone is expected to keep up with the person in front of them for the duration of the hike.

    Plan to arrive at the meeting place by 9:15 a.m. as we will start the car shuffle to the hike starting point at 9:30 a.m. sharp.  Further details will be provided to registered hikers a few days prior to the hike.
