SUMMARY:Senior Walks
DESCRIPTION:A new program to provide seniors with opportunities to meet to enjoy outdoor exercise\, to learn about local history and natural environments\, and to encounter new people with similar interests.\nSponsors: Iroquoia Bruce Trail Conservancy\, Hamilton Conservation Area\,  \n                     & Hamilton Aging in Community \n  \nDate: Thursday\, Oct. 17\, 10:00am \nMeeting Place: Confederation Park at The Sandbox Beach Bar\, 680 Waterfront Trail.  \ncaEnter through the Confederation Park gates and follow the signs to “Beaches Grill”\, which have not yet been changed to the current name of “The Sandbox Beach Bar” where there is ample parking and public washrooms. We will walk west along the Waterfront Trail to view the 1812 Naval Memorial Garden and on to Baranga’s on the Beach to discuss the histories of these locations. \nWe will pass some Environmentally Sensitive Areas along the way to see the work the Hamilton Conservation Authority does to keep waterways healthy.

Depending on weather\, current construction work on the damaged shoreline and the walking ability of the group we may go a little further afield\, perhaps to Hutch’s\, the Van Wagner Pond and the Stoney Creek Pond \nFor more information\, see https://hikes.brucetrail.org/event/confederation-park-walk/2019-10-17/

SUMMARY:Death Cafe - Hamilton
DESCRIPTION:Fall 2019 Learning Series \nDeath Cafes are part of a global movement\, “To increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of our finite lives.” \nAt a Death Café\, people\, often strangers\, gather to drink tea\, eat cake and discuss death. The\nobjective is ‘to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their\n(finite) lives’. A Death Cafe is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda\, objectives or\nthemes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counselling session. \nThe evening ends with a guided meditation by yoga instructor Dina Pereira\nof Breathing Space Yoga. \nFacilitated by Pastor Loretta Jaunzarins. \n  \nLight Refreshments will be served. \n  \n
