High Park is the largest park within the city of Toronto. This land is home to one of the few remaining Black Oak Savannahs in the region, which has cultural significance for Indigenous peoples.
This will be a slow moving hike to create opportunities to connect with the land, waters and beings. Carolynne will be sharing about the importance of being in a good relationship with creation through Indigenous lenses along with the need for reconciliation with the Earth. She will speak about the Indigenous history of the land and we will explore some of the beings (plants and animals) living in the park.
We will meet at the corner of High Park Ave and Bloor West in front of the entrance.
Let's Hike T.O. is a hiking community open to everyone with a focus on newcomers, people of colour, and young adults aged 20-40. All are welcome on our walks!
