Let's get moving this Walktober!
To participate, simply take the quick pledge to walk or wheel MORE this month.
Walk, run, hike, bike, skateboard, rollerblade or scooter - sorry folks, the wheels on your car/truck/SUV/motorcycle don't count!
Think of all the places you can go...
Walk or wheel to work, or start a walking club at the office.
Walk with your kids to school. Too far to walk? Park a few blocks away, and walk together the rest of the way.
Try a walking meeting, or maybe bike to an appointment.
Working from home? Schedule regular ‘wellness breaks’ each day and take a walk around your neighbourhood.
Cycle to the corner store, or to run errands.
The possibilities are endless!
Don’t forget October is a great month to explore the colours of Autumn in the York Regional Forest! Additional information regarding York Region's trails can be found in the York Region Trail Guide.
Accessibility: York Region maintains three trails accessible to wheelchairs and other assistive devices in the York Regional Forest.
- Hollidge Tract at 16389 Highway 48 (North of Aurora Road)
- North Tract at 17054 Highway 48 (South of Davis Drive)
- Hall Tract at 15681 McCowan Road (North of Aurora Road)
The Accessible Trails have been widened, cleared of obstructions and graded to ensure ease-of-movement for all visitors. Each trail ranges between one to two kilometre loops that pass through a variety of landscapes. Accessible parking is available.
Happy Walktober adventures!
