Itinerary:

Today we will walk about a 7.2 km loop made up of sections from two trails. We will start our walk at the Victoria Park Arena (located in Victoria Park) and head north on Chinguacousy trail to Queen Street, travel east on Queen to join the Professor's Lake trail. We will then walk south on Professor's Lake trail to return to our starting point at Victoria Park. There will be a number of road crossings but we'll try to keep a good pace of at least 5 km/hr. At this pace this walk should take about 1.5 hrs

We will meet in front of James F. McCurry Victoria Park Arena, Brampton.

Note: There are 2 parking lots: one off 20 Victoria Crescent (street address of the arena) and one off Avondale Blvd but luckily only one Victoria Park arena. :) You can park in either one of the parking lots.

Note that your GPS will guide you to Victoria Crescent parking lot but note that Google map service incorrectly shows a different (industrial) building as the Arena which is NOT correct. So don't rely on Google. I provided below a link to the Avondale parking lot, which may be more convenient and less confusing.

Afterwards, if enough people want to, we can find somewhere nearby for a cold drink.

Non-Bramptonions note: you're welcome to join us but there won't be a carpool - you'll have to get out to Brampton under your own steam...
