Walking clubs differ from hiking clubs in their choice of trails – usually less hilly or bumpy. But the
PROGRAM
two Ottawa clubs do use National Capital Greenbelt trails in Shirleys Bay, Stony Swamp, Pinhey For-
est, Pine Grove, Mer Bleue and Green’s Creek, as well as Gatineau Park. These walks are a bit more
like hiking than our standard walking program.
Ottawa Voyageurs and the Nepean Nomads each have about 150 members in the 50+ crowd.
The walks are either five kilometres (one-hour walk) or 10 (lasting two hours).
Here’s what to do to find out more; call the info line at 613-788-0691. Our club is part of the
Canadian Volkssport Federation, which you can check out at www.walks.ca.
