Golf courses are not just for golf. In winter, city-owned courses become cross-country skiing and snowshoeing territory. Of these, the Don Valley Golf Course has the largest and most scenic routes. It goes across rivers and under massive highways. Toronto's only ski lift is just outside its boundaries, which we can visit if the gate there is unlocked. After romping through the golf course, we'll continue exploration in the Hoggs Hollow neighbourhood. It has some historical buildings, a fancy French restaurant, and a 1850s tavern. Heading south along Yonge Street, we'll reach a clutch of eateries, where you can choose between Georgian, Indian, or Thai food. This event depends on snow. If there is heavy snowfall, you're encouraged to ski or snowshoe the golf course portion of the hike. If there is no snow and ice, we'll just walk. Walking in heavy snow is not recommended. If you must, wear muck boots and/or traction aids. After the golf course, the rest of the hike will be on foot. **Highlights** 1. Don Valley Golf Course main building (depart 12pm) 2.

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 Register At BTC website : [https://hikes.brucetrail.org/event/crothers-woods-introductory-hike/2026-02-22/](https://hikes.brucetrail.org/event/crothers-woods-introductory-hike/2026-02-22/) Please register at above so we have you on the waiver form

This event is for women in their late 20s to 40s who want a real campfire experience in the city, shared in a small group of other nature-loving women. We’ll take part in a guided winter campfire experience led by a park educator, offering a more hands-on and immersive format than our usual walks. Downsview Park is one of Toronto’s most unique green spaces — once a Canadian Forces base, now a protected urban habitat where deer, coyotes, owls, and other wildlife are commonly seen. **What we’ll do** * Start with a short walk through the park to get moving and take in the winter landscape * Participate in a guided outdoor fire session, learning the basics of building and managing a campfire * Spend time gathered around the fire, roasting marshmallows and enjoying warm forest tea * Relax, talk, and enjoy being outdoors together Marshmallows are provided, including options suitable for vegan, vegetarian, kosher, and halal diets. **Why join** This is a special winter experience that blends learning, participation, and time in nature — all within the city. It’s ideal for women looking for something more intentional than a walk or café meetup, and who enjoy shared experiences that feel a little different and thoughtfully put together. Spots are limited. **Disclaimer**: This group is intended to provide a calm and enjoyable space for women to spend time outdoors together. Outdoor walking involves inherent risks, including uneven terrain, weather conditions, and the possibility of slips or falls. By joining, participants acknowledge and accept these risks and take full responsibility for their own safety and personal belongings.

This will be a relaxed introduction session where we meet each other, talk about goals, and go over the fundamentals of the exposure triangle in a simple, practical way. Plan for the meetup: Welcome & Introductions (15 minutes) Quick intros, what you’re hoping to learn, and what camera you’re using (if any). Exposure Triangle Basics (15 minutes) A beginner-friendly breakdown of aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and how they work together. No math, no overwhelm — just understanding what each setting actually does. Open Discussion (45 minutes) Questions about manual mode, common beginner challenges, what confuses you most, and what kinds of photography interest you. We’ll also plan our next event: a beginner-friendly photography hike at Rouge National Urban Park the following weekend, focused on light, composition, and practicing manual mode outdoors. Who this is for: Beginners and anyone learning manual mode. No experience required. What to bring: Any camera (DSLR, mirrorless, compact, or phone) and your questions. This group is collaborative and non-commercial. No service promotion or selling permitted.
