Description
Date: Saturday, September 19, 2026.
Join us for our Fall Rainbow Hike and Social at Cape Croker Park at Neyaashiinigmiing. This all-inclusive and family-friendly 2SLGBTQIA+ hike provides a safe space and welcoming space for trans, gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer, 2Spirit, intersex, asexual , allies and friends.
Meet at the Cape Croker Visitor Centre for a brief introduction to the history and culture of the Saugeen Ojibway Nation at 11:00 a.m.
From there, we will enjoy an easy hike through the forest and along the Ginebek Mikaans Boardwalk Trail. This beautiful boardwalk winds through wetlands and beaver habitat within the traditional territory of the Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation.
Our guide, Tainin , a Two-Spirit member of Nawash, will share their knowledge and deep connection to the land. Along the way, we will explore the rich ecology of the wetlands and reflect on themes of queer ecology, as well as the role of gender and sexuality within traditional Anishinaabe culture.
After the hike, we will relax and picnic at the beach. Bring your own lunch, at least 1 L of drinking water per person and snacks for the day. Our hike and picnic will wrap up at 2:30 p.m.
