THE FORKS TO B.D.I.
Join Out There on Sunday, September 14th as we walk along the Red River from one Winnipeg landmark to another, culminating in a sweet treat.
MEETING INFO: We will meet outside The Forks Market (1 Forks Market Way) underneath the skating canopy starting at 1:45, with a planned departure of 2pm.
PARKING: There is paid parking at The Forks, but if you're willing to walk a little extra, you can find free parking with some research.
BUS: There are several buses that let off on Main St. (Union Station) or on William Stephenson (CMHR),which are both short walks to the market. The number 31 lets off right at the Market, but runs less frequently.
ROUTE: We will start by going along the Assiniboine River to the Norwood Bridge, where we will come up and connect with the Red River Walk Way.
We will meander south along the river, through Churchill Drive Park and on to BDI, where we will stop for ice cream.
This trail is a mix of paved, gravel, wood chips and dirt. It is very flat and should be totally dry at this point of the year.
One way, this walk is roughly 8km, and should take 2 hours,
FOLLOWING ICE CREAM: It is encouraged to bring bus fare to get back to your vehicles, or head home. For those who wish, we can also walk back to The Forks.
REGISTRATION: Not required for this walk; simply meet us under the canopy.
COST: Loonie donations for Out There will be collected. BDI accepts cash and debit, if you are purchasing a cool treat.
GUESTS?: 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.
