Your Anishinaabe guide Caley Doran will introduce us to the natural and cultural wonders found along Ginebek Miikaans – the Snake Trail Boardwalk. Miikaans is part of the Bruce Trail that is located along the shoreline of Wiikwedoonse (Sydney Bay) in the unceded Anishinaabek territory of Neyaashiinigmiing. This trail winds through mixed forest, to the edges of an active beaver dam and lodge, and along the shoreline of Sydney Bay. During this exploration you will learn about the traditional plants and wildlife that play a pivotal role in the traditional and contemporary lives of the Anishinaabek people. There are two very nice lookouts to take in the natural beauty of Sydney Bay and a beaver pond.
You can learn more about the traditional Anishinaabek teachings from time immemorial. Visit the Cape Croker Park website for more information on their Anishinaabe Cultural Experiences.
What to bring:
- Illuminate the path with a red light headlamp (if you don't have one that's ok).
- Sturdy boots
- Appropriate clothing for the weather conditions (layers are great)
- Something to sit on, snack, water or hot beverage
Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with nature and enjoy the night sky! We hope for clear skies to make the evening even more special.
