Whether you have kids or not- what better was to spend Family Day than to do it in the Outdoors together? ActiveDays is headed to Rouge National Urban Park for a day of family friendly activities in the outdoors.
HIKING - BIRDING - CRAFTS - HERITAGE CHOCOLATE - ICE SCULPTURES - MORE!
This excursion is a short jaunt away from downtown. Come check out a whole host of activities happening especially for family day. Visit the Parks Canada web page for more details!
ActiveDays invites folks to participate in a way that feels right for them. We will have time to hike together as a group AND time for folks to take part in the activities hosted by the Park.

WHAT TO BRING
Lunch: If you can, bring something warm- This helps a lot in staying warm on a cold day.
A Warm Drink (optional but having something warm in a thermos to enjoy by the fire would be so nice)
Winter boots!
Water (at least 1.5L)
Snowshoes (Available for rent at MEC- for Parkbus' 50% discount go here!)
Medications
Weather appropriate clothing- Layer up!- wool is great as a middle layer as it helps wick water away from the body and keep you warm!
Camera
Binoculars (optional) for the bird hike.
Whatever else you need to have fun on the trail :)
WHAT TO EXPECT WITH ACTIVEDAYS
To us, facilitating this event is about creating an environment that you can engage with in your own way. This is your experience and everyone has their own relationship with the outdoors and their bodies. We want to meet you where you are at — you can take part in the hike, or spend your time exploring the Family Day Events.
Active Days is also a community. This is an inclusive space to meet new people, share stories and have fun! To us, there is no better place to get to know someone than the outdoors. We all share a desire to get out, explore and move.
All ActiveDays participants are required to sign a waiver. We will bring printed copies of the waiver to sign on the bus. You can find a digital copy of a sample waiver HERE
