Club Event Walks

The Ottawa Voyageurs Need You!!!

COVID-19 Update November 16, 2020

With all that is happening with the pandemic and recommendations from health experts not to have group gatherings, the Ottawa Voyageurs are cancelling their group walks for the time being. I have been in contact with Benoit and he is in agreement with this. We will take a look at the situation in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, please continue to walk either by yourself (I know, not very exciting) or with one other person

By volunteering, you ensure your club continues to grow and provide great walking opportunities. Be Pro-Active by offering your services. Do not wait for someone to contact you. Contact the Trail Coordinator, President or Vice-President by volunteering to work the registration or finish table in (its easier than you may think and “many hands make light work”) or assume responsibility for the event by becoming the event coordinator. To find out more about being an event coordinator see the roles and responsibilities of an event coordinator.

Saturday looks like it will be a perfect day for walking - sunny and -4 so not too cold. Why not invite a friend to join you and come out to our walk. Hope to see you on Sat.
