PLEASE EMAIL ME AT ecomike@yorku.ca IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN HOSTING A FUTURE HIKE TO A BACKYARD/PATIO BBQ EVENT. Here is how it will work. 1. Julianne has purchased items for the BBQ and will go over the receipts and calculate how much is required from each person. We will collect around $10 for the BBQ from each person before the hike. 2. We will drop off to the BBQ location any liquor you are bringing for yourself or to share Swimsuits (unless you are wearing them underneath) Towels Change of Clothes Any items of extra food that individuals may decide to contribute to the BBQ 3. We will go on a hike in and around Bluffer's Park. Please note that the trail we will be ascending/descending is somewhat steep. Hiking poles are recommended. The trails we will be walking on include a variety of terrains - dirt trails, beaches, and paved roads and trails. 4. We will go back to the backyard of the host and cook/eat/drink what we have bought. Any other questions or concerns, please send me an email. Please be respectful of the host's backyard and home.
