Fall Colours Hike, Potluck Supper and Presentation (Ottawa/Gatineau, ON)
October 15, 2022 @ 2:30 pm - 8:00 pm EDT
Join A Rocha Ottawa for our Fall Colours Walk, Potluck Supper and Presentation!
If you are unable to attend all three parts of the event, feel free to attend the parts that you can.
Schedule:
2:30 pm: Fall Colours Walk
Meet at 264 Kingsmere (for directions please contact paul.heintzman@arocha.ca ), and we’ll begin on our Fall Colours Walk along the King Mountain Trail. Features of this trail include panoramic views of the fall colours in Gatineau Park, the City of Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley. Note: if it is a nice day, traffic will be heavy in the village of Old Chelsea and on the Gatineau Parkway, so give yourself plenty of travel time to arrive by 2:30 pm.
5:30 pm: Potluck Supper
Share a meal with us! Please RSVP to let us know what you plan to bring.
7:00 pm: Presentation
After supper, Karen Castro will talk about how she transformed most of her front lawn in Kanata to a native plants garden this summer. Then, the Heintzman family will talk and show slides about their multiple visits to A Rocha’s Brooksdale Environmental Centre in Surrey, BC and their visit to A Rocha’s Boreal Ecology Centre in Manitoba in 2020. As the first A Rocha event in Ottawa was in October 2007, we will also celebrate A Rocha Ottawa’s 15th Anniversary with some historical photos and cake.
