Membership renewal

Membership in North Shore Hikers for 2024/25 expires on 30 November. If you haven't already renewed your membership for 2025/26, you can do so by clicking this link.

Meetup trial

Exciting news!

North Shore Hikers is now also on the Meetup app. We are listed as North Shore Hikers Adventures. Here's a link to our group: https://www.meetup.com/nsh-testing/

This app will hopefully improve the ability to post hikes easily, reach a larger audience and build our membership.

Meetup will allow members to view who is attending a hike and the associated trail information will also be in one spot.

All paid members will automatically be a member of Meetup; however, each member must sign into the Meetup app. Once you sign up, you will receive Meetup emails of new hikes as they get posted.

Meetup has been around for many years but it will be a learning curve for us. In the meantime, during this trial period, we will still have our Northshorehikers.org website available for viewing and posting hikes.

If you have any problems signing into Meetup please email tripcoordinator@northshorehikers.org and we will do our best to answer your questions in a timely manner.

Trail maintenance day

Many thanks to Isabeau and our NSH volunteers who came out to do trail maintenance on the Upper/Lower Griffin Trail Loop in October. In spite of the rain and mud, there were smiles all around. Your work is much appreciated!

Hike on Raindancer

To start off November, we had 15 people attend Martin and Lesley’s hike along the Raindancer trail to Quarry Rock. It was such a warm beautiful sunny day. Lidia also showed us her wild mushroom picking skills. It was very interesting to see the various edible and non-edible mushrooms. Be on the lookout for more hikes with Lesley as she is a retired botanist and full of interesting facts.

In other news...

Martin Moseley will also be leading Tuesday walks and low elevation hikes as his knee is still not 100% for his regular moderate-paced hikes.

We are very short of hiking and biking leaders. We want to build our club back up so if you have hiking/biking experience, we would love for you to post and lead a hike, walk or bike ride. If you have any questions, please email the trip co-ordinator at tripcoordinator@northshorehikers.org

In the meantime, be sure to watch for our upcoming hikes and snowshoeing days. There are also many international trips posted for 2026.

At the AGM on November 13, 2025, Brent Ehrl was elected to be our new Vice President. Brent has been a past President and VP with NSH. Thank you Brent for stepping up to lead our club.

Lastly, we would like to thank our outgoing President Diane Whitely, VP Roger Francois, Katy Poon and Wendy McCarter for serving on the Board.

See you on the trails,

Sylvie
