Itinerary:

The actual limit for the group size is 20, but since we are using a car pool, it's mentioned to be 4 to begin with. As we get more drivers, more people will be taken off the wait list. Drivers get preference on the waiting list.

The Bronte Creek Provincial Park is a magnificent natural area, in Oakville ON. It's a treat for the nature lover with not only activities, but also a lot of trails, well preserved forests and ample of flora fauna.

We shall start our hike at the parking lot near Orchard Park, Burlington and then cover around 12 KMs to loop back from where we started. We will go northwards and cross the Dundas street and then loop back southwards. The terrain is generally flat, with some ups and downs.

We shall start the hike at 9:15 AM and are expected to finish before 1:15 PM. The pace would be gentle and we shall take necessary stops for enjoying nature.

Accessibility by public transit: The event location (Orchard Park, Sutton Drive Burlington) is also accessible by public transit, from most corners of GTA. While the closest Go station is Appleby, there are connections from other stations too. Please check your transit system for planning your trip. Also, if you plan to not wait for the carpool and opt for public transit, please email the event organizers before registration cut off.

This is Ameya's first event as an event coordinator - please redirect all questions to Ameya.
