What to Bring

This is an outdoor event.  Please check the forecast for February 1 and come dressed for the weather.  All participants, including accompanying adults, need to be dressed for winter weather.  Outer clothing like snow pants, a warm winter jacket, warm winter boots, mittens or gloves, tuques, and scarves is suggested.  Inner clothing, like long underwear or thermals, can help in keeping warm too.

A refillable water bottle and peanut- and nut-free snacks.

Is there an indoor component?

There is no indoor component.  Participants will be able to use the washroom inside the Forest School (375 Colborne Lodge Drive) before and after the program.

Is this a paved walkway or a trail? Is it appropriate for people with limited mobility (uneven ground, stroller accessible?)

The walk may be on variety of terrains, including paved, unpaved, uneven, and hilly terrain. 

Please be aware that in the winter, most paved paths are not maintained and can be snowy and icy. The location we have chosen for this event makes every effort to plan safe walks in winter weather, including planning routes to avoid extremely icy areas, deep snow, and fitting walkers with ice cleats or snowshoes.

When babies are old enough to be in a carrier, we recommend carriers over strollers for our nature walks.
