Shirley had been a founding member of the Cape Breton Island Hoppers, a dedicated Walk Leader, a Vice President and member of the Walk Committee from the origins of the club, and Assistant Trails Coordinator. Volunteering for many of our Barbecues, at her home "Out on the Mira". Along with husband Bill, her walking partner, both spent many hours and many weekends exploring and pre-walking the hiking trails of the island.
Many of the walk events we have done over these many years and continue to walk have been the result of the work and dedication of Shirley and Bill to the CB Island Hoppers and our /their commitment to walk for Fun, Fitness and Friendship.
"The walk starts at 2:00pm, stop talking and get walking!" OK Shirley I'm going"...
