Activities All Year Round

The TVTA organizes a variety of hikes year round ranging from very easy to very difficult. In winter some cross country ski and snow shoeing outings are included. On the social side, our Annual General Meeting in the Fall usually includes a guest speaker who has had interesting hiking or trekking experiences to relate. Besides the annual summer barbecue, members will organize members-only pot luck suppers and social gatherings.

TVTA membership is not required to go on a few hikes with us. There may be an admission fee to enter a park or conservation area, and passengers are expected to reimburse drivers in a carpool. For more information visit the Hikes page.

Saturday Morning Walks (Open To Non-members)

We have started family-friendly walks. Each walk will begin at 9:00 a.m. and will take approximately one hour. All walks are free. Come on out. Have lots of fun walking these beautiful trails and parks all within our City of London. For more information visit the Saturday Morning Walks page.

Trail Maintenance

We do trail maintenance (TM) on about one half of the 130 kilometers or so of our trail. The rest is on city or other property where that organization takes care of the trail.

We have 15 to 20 TM outings each year. Most of these are for winter dead-fall cleanup, mowing and trimming – without this work some sections of the trail would become impassable by mid-summer. We also have a Trail Captain team, and teams for trail blazing, bridges and boardwalks, and work requiring a chainsaw.

You are most welcome to volunteer to work with any of these teams. Please e-mail a board member to volunteer.
