Don't forget to sign up for our October long weekend (9-12) of events in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park and Cheticamp area.
If you can't make it for the entire weekend then how about coming out for one or two walk events to help support your club.
Pick up a copy of the brochure at the next walk event or simply request at this email address and I will send out to you as .pdf as soon as possible.
There may be one trail change: Salmon Pools Trail has been closed because of recent flooding and Parks Canada officials have promised to let me know about the trail as soon as they can to determine the amount of damage and if the trail will reopen by October. 
An alternate trail will be selected if we cannot use Salmon Pools Trail.
Lets get out and walk for fun, fitness and friendship!
