Sunday Morning
9:00 AM – 10:00 AM
Sunday Morning Walking Club at MERC
We’ll meet at the front doors of MERC Hall and head out for an easy 2–2.5 km stroll through the neighbourhood. Nothing fast, nothing intense – just a comfortable pace, fresh air and good company.
It’s a simple way to move your body, shake off a bit of winter and get to know your neighbours a little better. Come for the walk, come for the conversation or come for both.
This is a free, drop-in gathering.
All are welcome – Maitland, Augusta Township and surrounding communities. Bring a friend or just show up – we’ll see you at the doors.
