MORE HIKES, MORE CAPACITY
As we move into Stage THREE of Ontario's Reopening, we will be allowed outdoor gatherings as large as 100. Hike Leaders will limit the size (maximum 25) of the hikes to ensure that safety is in the forefront. Sign up for our organized led hikes on our NBTC Hike Calendar
NEW hikes will be added daily. If your favourite hike is full, add your name to the WAIT list and we will try to add additional hikes.
Improvements have been made to the registration system. Read about them here.
Continue to practice physical distancing guidelines and wear a mask when distancing is not possible.
If you think you have been exposed to COVID or are feeling sick. STAY HOME. You now have the ability to cancel your hike on our online hike registration system.

Bruce Trail Conservancy’s Indigenous Land Acknowledgement Statement
The Bruce Trail Conservancy wishes to acknowledge and honour the lands of the Niagara Escarpment as the traditional territory of Indigenous peoples. In both spirit and partnership, we recognize and thank the Anishinaabek, Huron-Wendat, Tionontati, Attawandaron, Haudenosaunee, Métis, and all who provided stewardship of these lands over millennia. Recognition of the contributions of Indigenous peoples is consistent with our commitment to making the promise of Truth and Reconciliation real in our communities. We are grateful for the opportunity to live, work, and play here and thank all those who have served and continue to serve as caretakers of this special place.
