Description

"Hikers are required to bring a mask and wear it on the bus. Masks must fit properly and cover the nose, mouth and chin. For the highest level of protection against Covid-19, respiratory viruses or the flu, KN95 or N95 masks are recommended."

The theme for this year’s Bruce Trail Day is Welcoming.  Whether you are a newcomer or have never hiked before, we welcome you to join us. "Nature is for everyone. All are welcome!"

We will start the hike at Scotsdale Farm and  follow the Maureen Smith Side Trail to where it joins the Main Trail. Then we will continue west on the Trail to Limehouse. There will be two possible drop-out points -- after 5 km and after 7 km. We will go through Limehouse Conservation Area and  "Hole in the Wall". The hike will end in Limehouse where snacks will be available as part of Bruce Trail Day. But bring  lunch and water with you.

The bus fare is subsidized by the Toronto Club -- It is the same for both members and non-members:$20 for adults, $10 for children. No charge for parking at Kipling Station on Sunday.

Current Toronto Bruce Trail Club members are welcome to join but are asked to wait until Sunday September 17th (two weeks prior to the hike) before registering so we can allow priority for non-members wishing to join the hike.
