About the Hike
We will host our English Conversations on the Trails, welcoming all newcomers, those who speak English as a second language and all trail users who want to help welcome new friends. Come join us on Saturday April 12, 2025 to explore the Rotary Park Trail. While out on the trails, we will be engaging in urban poling, a form of Nordic walking. Both experienced and new participants are welcome. This hike will be led by Myfawny McIntosh, who will be providing instructions on proper poling techniques.
*Urban poles will be provided upon request. Please indicate below if you will require them at least 48 hours prior to hike.
