Description
This is a special memorial and life celebration of the legendary Doug Sloan that so many people knew and were inspired by his love and dedication to the Bruce Trail. He is also the famous person that hiked the trail E2E 50 times.
There will be a meet and greet, a short hike to the interactive plaque named after him, the unveiling and a toast. People that want to remark and reflect about Doug are welcome to do so, please email me ahead of time and let me know.
we will continue with a 45 minutes hike led by Adam. Adam is an ecologist that will share with us his knowledge of the echo system of the area.
We will go back to the parking for a reception and a light snack.
Please carpool to get to the hike if possible due to a shortage of parking spaces.
