Our Walks
Guests are welcome at our events but we ask you to adhere to our guidelines (below).
Groups should contact us in advance for permission to join a walk since some of our volunteer leaders may not be comfortable leading a large group and our walks sometimes traverse sensitive areas that can be unsuitable for larger groups.
Receiving full information about walks in the newsletter is a benefit of membership. We publicize information on about 2 walks per month as a benefit to the general public who might want to join us.
You may reach us at 416-593-2656 or via email. We are staffed by volunteers so it may take a few days to receive a response. If you are enquiring about a weekend walk please contact us before noon on Friday to ensure you get a timely response.
