About us
Toronto Bruce Trail Club is the largest of the nine member clubs of the Bruce Trail Conservancy. Founded in 1962, the Toronto Bruce Trail Club celebrated our 60th anniversary in 2022!
You don't have to be a member to join one of our organized hikes, but we invite you to consider becoming one to support the Bruce Trail --- it is the membership provides crucial support for the Bruce Trail and the Conservation of the Niagara Escarpment. Without membership, there would be no Bruce Trail - "When you are out on The Trail, consider for a moment what this means: every blaze, every boardwalk, every bridge, every stile is there thanks to volunteers and members" -- Robert Bateman, one of the Trail's founding members.

Urban Walk: Introductory Hike – Crothers Woods
Todmorden Mills Heritage Site, 67 Pottery Road, Toronto, ON, CAAnyone 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
