It was a special Seniors' hike today. Patricia and Evelyn led their inaugural hike which included a new route for the club. They can be seen armed with the Hike Leaders Check List ensuring the day went successfully
46 members in their golden years met at the golden arches. Tony Arislen increased the number to 47 meeting the group at lunchtime
Evelyn & Patricia inform the group on "What's Happening"
Despite the chilly day the sun was out and the wind at our backs making the start of the hike along the Don Mills Trail a pleasant one
Taken earlier on one of the three pre-hikes! The trail was originally the Leaside Spur railway. It closed in the 1930's and eventually the City purchased the land in 2001 and the trail was opened in parts in 2016 with the southern end yet to be completed

Congratulations Patricia and Evelyn. Your first crack at and leading a brand new hike was first class. What can a say, a sausage at the beginning and a beer at the end was my kind of hike. Thank you to our resident counter and sweep, Liliane and Kevin
