Unscheduled Walks

Sometimes you may not be able to participate in a walk as scheduled or you may like to do an extra walk or two that week.  If that is the case, why not join some of our members who do some of our walks on a rather regular basis. 

Ferne & Serge Perry do our Bedford walk every Tuesday afternoon at 4:30pm beginning from Shoppers Drug Mart, 950 Bedford Highway. 

Sally Baccardax usually does the Armdale walk every Thursday afternoon from the Needs Convenience Store, 24 St. Margaret’s Bay Road.

On the last Friday of each month, Judy Everard does the City-to-City walk at 5:30pm from the lobby of the Westin Hotel, 1881 Hollis Street.

Following the walk the group picks a great restaurant and fun for all!

Everyone is welcome so why not come out and join us.

Most of the walks are listed in our 'Annual Schedule of Walks’ and for those with email, a reminder is sent out shortly before the scheduled walk.

The club is always looking for new trails to hike and new leaders to guide the walks. If you wish to volunteer to lead a walk or have suggestions for a new walk, contact any of the executive members listed on the club web site. They can help you or find someone that can. Get involved and see what benefits walking can bring, you may be glad you did.

Monthly Draw

The participation in our walks has increased significantly over the past five years so it was suggested that this should be recognized by holding a “Monthly Draw”. Each time a member participates in one of our scheduled events, his or her name will be entered in the draw.

There are at least two scheduled walks each month, sometimes more, and the more you participate the better your chances. The prize will change each month so who knows what you may win. 

Remember only current members are eligible for this monthly draw. If you have participated in any of our walks but have not yet joined our Club, you may want to consider becoming a member.

Although a maximum was set at what can be spent on the prizes, you only have to win once to get up to two hundred per cent return on your investment!!!  Membership in the Chebucto Hiking Club has many valuable benefits - and includes fun, fitness and friendship.

Recyclables

As a result of recycling efforts, the Club’s name is permanently inscribed on the Trans Canada Trail Pavilion located on the waterfront at the Alderney Gate Events Plaza in Dartmouth. The plaque will appear as shown.

Fun, Fitness & Friendship

CHC is still collecting recyclables and redeeming them to purchase meters of the Trans Canada Trail. We currently have $291.20 on hand and would like to thank those members who have contributed bottles and cans, or have assisted in picking them up on the trails. If you would like to assist, please bring your recyclables on any walk and give them to the walk leader. Remember that this initiative helps clean up our community, it helps to support the Trans Canada Trail and it also helps the Club by not using Club funds to purchase meters of the TCT. If you would like to donate your recyclables to this cause, please bring them to any walk, or phone Judy Everard at 462-1458 and arrangements can be made to have them picked up. 

Thank you for your help.
