Walk in the Woods: Connecting Community through Nature

November 20, 2025, 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm

Step into the forest for an afternoon of connection and fresh air!

Join us for a guided walk designed to help you slow down, meet new people, and enjoy the simple joy of being outdoors. We’ll gather in the Pulp & Paper Centre lobby before heading out on a gentle forest trail.

Along the way, we’ll pause for a few light get-to-know activities and practice simple movements from the Taoist Tai Chi® arts, led by certified instructor Dr. Barb Conway, to stretch and awaken both body and spirit.

Family, kids, and dogs are all welcome. We’ll walk rain or shine—please dress for the weather!
