Wilderness Union's Epics Release Party

This adventure is open to both Wilderness Union members and the public!

Join us for an exclusive evening at MEC as we reveal the most ambitious expeditions in our history.

We are gathering at the Queen Street flagship to pull back the curtain on our upcoming Epics. These journeys represent the very best of the backcountry, featuring some of the most extraordinary scenery that the province has to offer but is only reached through extraordinary effort. From three-day treks to six-day canoe circuits through ancient waterways, these are the trips we have been dreaming about all winter.

The itineraries we are launching include routes we have never run before, many of which would be nearly impossible to organize alone. This is your chance to get the first look at the dates and details before they go live about a week later.

If you are curious about pushing your limits in the wild or just want to meet the people you will be sharing a campfire with, then this social is the perfect place to start. Whether you're a seasoned tripper or looking to transition from day hikes to multi-day adventures, you will find plenty of inspiration here.

Trip Registration Dates
Trips will open a few days after the event once you've had a chance to book time off work. We'll be sharing the open date shortly after.

About Wilderness Union
Wilderness Union is deliberate about building an outdoors community that connects you to the life-changing magic of the outdoors and helps you find your people.

Members range from 20-40 years old. The group is a mix of GTA locals and newcomers to Toronto from within Canada and abroad.

Attendance numbers on Meetup don't reflect our actual event attendance - we typically have 15-20 community members at each event. Large enough that there's someone new to meet but small enough that it's not overwhelming!
