WALK CAPE BRETON

Trails Day in Inverness County

As part of International Trails Day, the fourth annual Trans-Canada Bike and Hike will take place this Saturday, June 5th at 10:00am, starting at the Mabou River Inn, this is a 15 Km route along the abandoned rail line.
Participants are invited to a BBQ at the Little Judique Harbour Trestle beginning at 3:00pm.

Please note this is not an IVV sanctioned event.

This is the type of event which our club should be attending each year as it encourages the joy of hiking along the many trails of Cape Breton and the organizers are encouraging a non competitive walk and family participation.

Your walk committee and trails coordinator are working to try and coordinate this type of event with local groups and we continue to make representation in all counties to be invited in a timely fashion so that we can get a sanctioned event stamp from the CVF.

At a recent meeting in Truro I was able to obtain dates for International Walk and Hike Events for 2005 and we will ensure that these will be on the schedule for next year.

Therefore I encourage thoughs of us who can travel to Inverness on such short notice to do so and bring the message of Walking for Fun, Fitness and Friendship. We will do our best to participate as an organized club next year.

Inverness County Recreation Department, recently devoted a two page article about our club and volkssporting in the Inverness Peridodical "The Participaper".
A limited amount of copies were distributed on our last walk and I will hold a copy in our Leaders walk box for any of you who would like to read the article.
My sincere Thank You to the editors and writers of the Participaper for this article.
