Walk with Us
After the community's enthusiastic response to our survey, the walking club is finally here!
We have a new group of volunteers to help lead our walking group every Monday at 6:30 PM. A late morning/early day walk is still being organized.
The program will be held from May 20th to Monday August 26th, 2024. After which we will reassess continuing the program.
We will meet at the Russell Park & Ride Parking lot at the end of First Street in Russell Ontario
