On Saturday, June 1, Oak Learners joined the Trans Canada Trail Team and the Waterfront Trail team for Trail Care Day 2024! Oak Learners was excited to provide activities for families, including a self-guided scavenger hunt on the Trail. Those who completed the scavenger hunt were treated to a free snack from Birds & Beans Café and a Great Lakes Waterfront Trail patch!
It takes a nation to care for the world’s longest trail network! And on June 1, we celebrated the thousands of volunteers across Canada who do exactly that. Trail Care Day is a multi-location event happening in communities across Canada to get the Trail ready for spring and summer. Each event showcases a unique section of the Trans Canada Trail and calls on volunteers in the community to roll up their sleeves for whatever trail care activity is needed most locally — from debris removal and brush clean-up to accessibility improvements or art installations.
This year, we were also proud to boast the support of representatives from all three levels of Government in Etobicoke-Lakeshore, including MP James Maloney, MPP Christine Hogarth, and Deputy Mayor Amber Morely.
