SEINE RIVER WALK
Yes it's cooling down, but the ground is still dry: so let's get a walk in. This walk will take us along a secluded stretch of the Seine River , to the mouth of the Red River, up to historic Fort Gibraltar and through some deer spotted woods. All walkers will be given the option of concluding the walk with a warm beverage at the near by Stella's inside CCFM.
MEETING: We will be meeting at Parc Lagimodiere-Gaboury. This is located at 363 Notre Dame St. (at the very east end of the street, just across the tracks). We will start gathering at 1:45pm BY THE SIGN, with a planned departure of 2pm .
PARKING: There is a parking circle located around the sign shown above, but spots are limited. The next option would be the residential side streets nearby.
BUS: The FX4 runs regularly and ind both directions along Provencher. It lets off at St.Jean Baptiste, which is a short (5-ish minute) walk to the park.
TRAIL: This is a mixed terrain trail (concrete, wood chips, gravel and dirt), but this time of year should be totally dry. We will explore the less travelled south shore of the Seine, before following the shoes back to the Red River and eventually to the historic Fort Gibraltar. On the way we can choose to take some side trails that may get us closer to some wildlife.
This walk should total between 5 and 6km, taking no more than 2hours.
WEATHER: It's creeping towards late November, so it will be cool ( probably single digits under zero). With any luck the sun will be out and the winds will be down. Please dress appropriately
The only conditions that would cause a cancellation are extreme winds or ice; in which case a notice will go out.
REGISTRATION: None is needed, simply meet us in the park before 2pm.
COST: Loonie donations for Out There will be collected.
GUESTS: Are welcome. This is a 2SLGBTQIA+ event, so guests should be community members or allies.
DOGS: Provided they stay on leash and can match our pace, dogs are welcome. They would not, however be allowed to join at Stella's afterwards (without a good disguise)
QUESTIONS/RUNNING LATE: If you have any questions, or if you are running late and want us to wait for you, please email Matt:
