Urban Walk: Introductory Hike – Crothers Woods
Anyone is welcome to join this hike but we are especially inviting our new members (and prospective members) to learn about our hiking program and how our guided hikes are classified and described in the hike schedule and what you should bring with you on hike. We will explore Crothers Woods in the Don Valley, nature in the heart of the city, which will present some moderate challanges with it's ups and downs giving it's Level 2 classification. The actual route will depend on conditions of the day to keep it a moderate level hike. Please bring ice traction cleats (mandatory) for a safe hike. We'll have a brief outdoor snack/lunch stop along the route. We will return to Todmorden Mills at the end of the hike. Note transit users will need to ascend the fairly steep hill on Pottery Road at the conclusion of the hike. Washrooms are available at the Todmorden Mills Site.
On this introductory hike we will:
* Discuss how a hike is classified (Level 1,2,3, Moderate/Fast, etc)
* Discuss the variables that affect the difficulty of any particular hike
* Discuss why different people have different perspectives on the difficulty level of the same hike
* Demonstrate some terrain that would raise the difficulty level of hike hiking
* Help you know you have the information required to choose the hikes right for you

Brunch @Bumpkins on SUNDAY, February 22nd, 2026 at 11 AM
Hi Lovely Ladies,
Come join us for Brunch on **\*\*\*Sunday**, February 22nd, 2026 at 11:00 AM at Bumpkins. The menu showcases a great selection of homemade brunch options offering delicious homemade soups, fried potatoes, crepes and many other choices. The restaurant owners are always on-hand ensuring an exceptional dining experience. Come enjoy a wonderful brunch where attention to detail is paramount. Click [here](https://www.bumpkins.ca/copy-of-brunch-lunch) for a link to the menu. Meet friends and make some new ones while enjoying a lovely Brunch. Each participant will cover their own food and drink costs.
**There is a non-refundable / non-transferable $5.00 cover fee** to attend this group event. This charge will reserve your spot, help with group costs and hopefully minimize no shows. **Payment of the $5 cover charge is due by FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13th, 2026.** After this date, non payment of the cover fee will result in the Member's name being moved to the "not going" list so that those "waitlisted" have an opportunity to attend the Brunch.
In consideration of others, if you are not able to attend, please advise 48 hours prior to the event to allow other people on the waitlist to have your spot. No shows and less than 48 hours notice of non-attendance will be noted. 2 or more such occurrences will unfortunately lead to removal from the group. Thank you all for your understanding and consideration. Looking forward to connecting soon!
Here are the details for the $5.00 e-transfer - E-mail - [weekendbrunchover50@hotmail.com](http://weekendbrunchover50@hotmail.com/), Security Question - What is the time of the event? **Eleven**

Our **"[Sensory Reset](https://www.glocandlebar.co/pages/glo-pour-workshops)"** is a curated afternoon that invites you to slow down and engage your senses through the mindful craft of candle making.

* **The Venue:** Our inaugural session takes place within the **Parkway Forest Community Centre**. While we pop up in various locations throughout the city, we have curated this space to serve as a peaceful environment for our session.
**Intentional Intimacy:** To maintain a calm and focused atmosphere, we intentionally limit our gatherings to **12 guests**. This small group size ensures a shared, personal experience for everyone in the room.
**Introductory Rates & Booking:** To celebrate our first session and the founder's birthday, we are offering special **Founding Member** pricing for this event only.
* **Option 1: The Single Reset – $55** (Regularly $80) Secure your individual seat for our first-ever session. Includes your custom 9oz wood-wick candle, tea service, and full sensory experience.
* **Option 2: The Duo Reset – $95 for Two** (Regularly $160) Everything is better with a friend. Secure two seats for the experience and save—perfect for anyone looking to unwind and recharge their Sunday together.
**How to Secure Your Spot:** We utilize a simple checkout process via our website. For the **Duo Reset**, the discount will be applied automatically (or use code **DUORESET-INTRO**) when you add two seats to your cart.
[**[RESERVE YOUR SEAT HERE](https://www.glocandlebar.co/products/sensory-reset-introductory-promo)**]

CMG Special Event: OSCAR PARTY & RED CARPET BASH at the Drexel Theatre!
Join us as we get together for a CMG-favorite event, the OSCAR PARTY AND RED CARPET BASH at the Drexel Theatre! The highlight of the movie year live on the big screen always makes for a fun and memorable evening! Here are details for this event:
WHAT TO EXPECT: This year’s ceremony will be hosted once again by Conan O’Brien. In addition to the Oscars on the big screen, your ticket includes a Meal Deal from the Drexel’s new food partner Newfangled Kitchen (I’m checking on vegetarian/vegan options) along with unlimited popcorn and sodas, a free box of candy, and your first beer, wine or specialty drink on the house! Also included: Oscar-themed trivia with prizes from local businesses, on-site paparazzi, and the Drexel's Oscar ballot contest with a chance to win a year of free Drexel movies! Plus, the BEST and most FUN way to watch the Oscars with fellow film fans and your CMG friends!
ADVANCE TICKETS: General public tickets are $45 but Movie Group Members and their guests get in for just $35! Here’s how to purchase your tickets:
\* Option 1 – In Person: You can purchase at the ticket counter anytime during operating hours. Just mention you are with the Columbus Movie Group for the discounted rate.
\* Option 2 – Online: If you prefer to purchase online, you can do so by going to the link below and following these instructions: 1. Click the link below. 2. Click the little TICKETS box then click BUY TICKETS. 3. If you are a Drexel Member, you can log in here to receive the Member/Group rate, which is the same. If you are not a Drexel member, click “No” and the $40 Rate will pop up. But, don’t fret. It’s a little hard to find but there’s a “Promotion Code” section on the screen. Click the “Know a Promotion Code?” box, enter “CMG2026” (case sensitive) and submit. Select the appropriate number of tickets in the Discount Rate section and click “Add.” Next “Proceed to Checkout” then “Checkout” and enter your credit card info. There’s a $1.50 online service fee but it’ll save you a trip to the Drexel. (If you don’t already have one, you will need to sign in or create an account first.) Sellout possible so please purchase yours as soon as possible in advance!
LINK FOR TICKETS (See Above Instructions): https://prod1.agileticketing.net/websales/pages/info.aspx?evtinfo=373546\~e2e0a350-c626-4e33-bc63-27e983f4aecf&epguid=ab0b2f82-403c-4972-9998-5475e7dcfa0e&mdy=3/15/2026&
DRESS: Dressing up for the occasion art of part of the fun! Dress up as much as you like – there will be everything from casual to formal at the event! Or you can go in character as one of this year’s nominated films!
ARRIVAL: Doors open for CMG at 5:30pm so that’s when we’ll plan to meet! That’ll give us plenty of time to fill out our Oscar Ballots, pick up some free popcorn, candy, and something to drink, mix, mingle, take some photos, pick up your Newfangled Kitchen Meal Deal, grab a seat in our CMG Reserved Section, then settle in to enjoy the Academy Awards on the Big Screen!
PICTURES: We’ll take pics throughout the evening and the Drexel Paparazzi will be on hand as well. We’ll also take a big group photo around 6:40 near the entrance before the show begins. If you happen to take some good shots yourself, be sure to upload them on the Oscar Party Meetup event!
RESERVED SEATING: As you enter the theater, the roped off section to the right marked “Reserved” is reserved for you, your guest(s) and the Columbus Movie Group!
VEGAN MEALS: As previously mentioned, the food vendor does NOT have a vegan option at this year’s Oscar Party. However, we DO have a solution! I have reached out to several individuals who are affected. If you are a vegan, plan to attend the Oscar Party and did not receive an e-mail from me, please reach out via private message post a note below. I’ll provide details off-line.
And while there won’t be a vegan meal option this year, I think we do have a workable solution. And, all other plans are usiness-as-usual: popcorn, sodas, candy, on-site paparazzi, decorations, bar drinks (including your first drink on the house), the Drexel’s Annual Oscar ballot contest, along with the Big Show on the Big Screen and a fun group of Movie Group friends to watch ‘em with!

LINK: Should be a fun & festive evening and a terrific way to celebrate a great year of movies together!
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
