Sunday May 1
A scenic 10 km loop hike on the Bruce Trail at Scotsdale Farm near Georgetown. A bus to Scotsdale Farm will leave Clarence Square (on Spadina between Front and King) at 10 am, with a second stop near Bloor and Islington at 10:15 am. The bus fare is $10.00 per person. Hiking boots are strongly recommended. Please note that dogs are not permitted on the hike. We will be on the trail for about 4 hours, so pack a lunch and enough water for the day. We will be back in the city by 5 pm. A separate hike will be offered beginning at 10 am for those who prefer to drive to Scotsdale Farm.
Cost: Other than the $10.00 bus fare, there is no charge for the program. Register early as the number of course participants that can be accommodated is limited. Applicants will be accepted on a first come first served basis.
