What we’re about
Welcome to Ottawa Ladies Hiking! Our goal is to help women gather in nature to create community and connections.
Together we’ll explore the greater Ottawa area mostly by foot. Occasionally other types of adventures or experiences will be posted, but the focus will be on hiking and walking.
If you'd like to host a hike, please feel free to reach out to me!
*DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
All Events, Outings and Activities posted on the Ottawa Ladies Hiking Meetup are entirely at your own risk. They have inherent dangers that may result in extensive costs, serious and life impacting illness(es), serious and life impacting injury(ies) and even death.
The website is simply a means of bringing people of similar interests together and the Hosts are simply looking for people with whom they can share the Events, Outings, and Activities they enjoy.
Organizers and Hosts are simply contributors, not professionals, and are investing their time to enable and facilitate for their own and the other participants mutual enjoyment. The Ottawa Ladies Hiking Meetup does not check or review their experience, their training, their backgrounds, nor their ability to guide the Outings they post. Hosts only have their own personal experience and training to draw upon with respect to the Outings they post. When a Host posts an event they have only elected to guide the "Gathering of Attendees" through the Outing - they are not assuming responsibility for your health or safety, nor do they necessarily have rescue, first aid, CPR or medical training.
Do not go on an Outing blindly: Read the description and post questions in the discussion. The Ottawa Hiking Ladies, its Organizers or Hosts, cannot ensure Attendees are capable of or adequately prepared for the Outings and Activities in which they participate, or anticipate everything that might happen or even everything that Attendees might do. Waiting and being prepared for the Host to announce the departure and not racing ahead or lagging behind the "Group of Attendees" is key to your safety, everyone's enjoyment and as a result the success of the Outing. Not respecting these conditions puts your safety and welcome on the Outings posted here at risk. Attendees assume full responsibility for their own behavior, safety and well being when participating in the Outings and Activities posted here.
