Yoga + Hike Fundraiser

It is easier to go north on 1st Line from Side Road 5 than it is to go south on 1st Line from Hockley Road. 1st Line is not maintained between the parking lot and Hockley Road. It is best to aim for arriving around 9:15 am, so we can start our yoga session as close to 9:30 as possible. Thanks!
