Don Farquharson Says, "Take a Hike"

Hello all fellow hikers!

Again this month we are going to explore the Lake Ontario Waterfront... I suggest that we meet in the parking lot of Lakeview Park (at the southern point of Simcoe St - west side - and Lakeview Park Ave). We will meet at 10:00 and walk west towards the Whitby area, and return by 11:15-11:30.

I look forward to as many as can make it. Dress according to the weather of the day. Bring any suggestions that you have for future hikes!
