Description

Join me and story teller, Terry Wilson, for another much beloved Meadowvale Village tour, including his own miniature shed-size pioneer village. This time we will all hike in along Fletcher's Creek Trail and do a loop in the enchanting South Meadowvale woods before meeting Terry in front of the Old Meadowvale School house, near Old Derry Road and Second Line West, at approximately 11:30. We will stop for lunch at Meadowvale Conservation Area before resuming the tour and visiting the little village and Rosemary's Garden. I will once again be raffling several of Terry's books of short stories. Raffle tickets are only $1. Keep in mind that this is a loop hike. We will return to our starting point by 3 pm. If anyone needs to shorten this event, they can drop out at anytime and I will provide easy directions to quickly reach the starting point or MiWay busses back to Toronto.

Washrooms available at the Shell station, NE corner of Mavis & Courtneypark, at Meadowvale Conservation Area (Lunch stop) and at the Public Library (open 1-5) back at our starting point.

Bring a hat, 1-2 L of water, a lunch, sun screen and bug spray.
