Description
Join us for a pre-AGM hike.
If you’d like to view the hike route, please click the All Trails link below. It’s approx. 5 km so we should be back in plenty time for the Meet-and-Greet at 10:30, before the AGM.

The hike route will start from the Hamilton Parking Lot #1002 heading to Princess Point, and loop back to the parking lot.
From the lot it's a short walk to the Westdale Theatre, if you are attending the AGM afterwards. Parking is $3 per hour, or all day for $15.
Please bring enough water and snacks for your hike. Trails may be muddy at this time of year, so gaiters would be useful.
We encourage Hikers to register and stay for the AGM after our Hike. Connect with other members, help commemorate a wonderful year for the Club and to celebrate all our amazing volunteers.
