Another winter is quickly approaching so that means more time indoors. But with the proper gear and clothing winter can be a season to embrace with its own scenic beauty and other advantages. Why not enjoy the physical and mental benefits of the outdoors all year long?

On Thursday December 5, from 7-8 p.m., the club is hosting a webinar “Winter Fun 101” when George and Martina will speak to the benefits of enjoying the outdoors in winter and provide information on the clothing and gear you should have to enjoy it comfortably and safely. You will also hear all about the TBTC’s Winter Coach Program which allows participants to enjoy outdoor winter activities at popular locations around Southern Ontario with transportation provided by luxury motor coach at a reasonable cost. There will be an opportunity to ask questions at the end of the session. Here is the link if you would like to attend.

The following day the MEC (Mountain Equipment Coop) stores at North York and Downtown Toronto (Queen Street) will be hosting a club day for the Toronto Bruce Trail Club. Our members and guests will receive a 15% discount on most purchases (see the volunteers at the TBTC club table for details). This will be a chance to have a close look at the gear spoken about during the webinar the previous evening. TBTC Hike Leaders and other volunteers will be available to answer your questions and/or connect you to the store staff about the gear you need to enjoy your winter outdoor experiences and our activity program.
