The meeting point is at the parking lot next to the Visitor Centre.
Anne Schlarp-McArthur and I welcome you to Greg Vincent’s Tribute Hike. We will hike around Crawford Lake, a rare example of a meromictic lake and the Bruce Trail on our way to the Nassagaweya Canyon with great views and looping back to the Longhouse Village.
This will be one of the last days of spring before the summer’s canopy of leaves appear and it was one of Greg’s favourite times of year. He couldn’t wait to see the first ephemeral wildflowers to enjoy and share with others. For those who want a shorter walk there will be a dropout and you may want to visit the reconstructed Longhouse Village or the Visitor Centre until we return for lunch. Wear hiking boots or good walking shoes, bring a snack, water and be prepared for the weather forecast of the day. No dogs. Indoor washrooms are available and indoor seating areas if needed. Bring lunch, a refreshment and lawn chair as we will find an outdoor area for lunch once the hike is completed. If you choose to come for lunch only, arrive by noon. https://torontobrucetrailclub.org/a-tribute-to-gregory-paul-vincent-1935-2022
Entry fee to the park is $7.50 to $10.50 and registration is required – please make your reservation at https://www.conservationhalton.ca/parks/crawford-lake/

COVID-19 Precautions Before, During and After your Hike
1. Each hiker joining a Bruce Trail Club organized hike must perform a self-screening check before hiking.
  Find Ontario’s self-assessment tool here: https://covid-19.ontario.ca/self-assessment/
2. If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, stay home.
3. Personal Protective Equipment:
  - Hikers may choose to wear masks
Transportation
It is the Bruce Trail Conservancy’s current policy that car shuttles are allowed. It is at the discrepancy of individual hike leaders to make that decision.
Other Guidelines
1. Arrive 15 minutes before the start of the hike.
2. Wear sturdy footwear and appropriate attire for the weather and the terrain.
  Hiking poles are a good idea in any season, especially if the terrain is rocky or slippery. In winter, snowshoes or icers/crampons are needed when conditions dictate.
  Wearing appropriate clothing and footwear prevents injuries and shows consideration for a safe and positive group hiking experience.
3. Always carry I.D. and your health card.
