For our Community Meetings in both Milton and Burlington in April we will present:
The Bruce Trail: Celebrating 50 years of exploring and preserving the Niagara Escarpment
Join us for a virtual journey along the Bruce Trail – Canada’s oldest and longest public footpath, blazed 50 years ago by pioneering volunteers. This magnificent path runs nearly 900 km along the Niagara Escarpment from Queenston to Tobermory, and is responsible for the conservation of thousands of acres of Escarpment landscape. Discover how you can explore the Bruce Trail, what you may see along the way, and how you can help protect the Niagara Escarpment for the next 50 years and beyond.
Laura Tuohy, Membership Coordinator for The Bruce Trail Conservancy, will be on hand to share the history and ecology the Trail, and connect you with this wonderful treasure in our backyard.
You can learn more at their website.
Our Milton meeting will be held on Wednesday April 8th, 2015 at the Seniors Activity Centre, 500 Childs Drive, Milton
Our Burlington meeting will be held on Tuesday April 28th at the Seniors Centre, 2285 New Street, Burlington.
Our meetings at both locations will be held in the evening. Doors will open at 6.30pm with the main meeting taking place between 7.00pm and 9.00pm. Coffee and tea will be available.
Please be aware that if room capacity limits are reached we may have to restrict entrance in order to comply with building safety code regulations. Typically there is more space available at Milton.
Both meetings will begin with a short welcoming address from our Chairperson, Tom Carrothers. Tom will also provide a brief update on your CARP Halton Chapter and CARP National activities.
This will be followed by our featured presentations.
As usual we have a number of sponsors for both meetings. We will be very pleased to welcome them and to thank them for their support. They will all have tables where you will be able to chat with their representatives and pick up additional information.
There will be a break at a convenient point during the presentation which will allow time to socialize with fellow members and to spend more time visiting our sponsors.
