The Savanna Strollers Pinery Walking Club is being sponsored by the Grand Bend Community Foundation and is a partnership between the Friends of Pinery Park, Ontario Parks, the Grand Bend Community Health Center and the Lambton Heritage Museum.

Each week on Wednesday mornings the Savanna Strollers Pinery Walking Club walk a different trail in Pinery Provincial Park.
Participants will meet one of our Volunteer Coordinators at the Lambton Heritage Museum side parking lot at 9:30 am (changes to 8:30 starting July 7th and back to 9:30 on September 1st) and then car pool with others in the group to the walking trail. We will recruit a volunteer sweeper from the walkers. The coordinator will lead the walk and the sweeper will take the rear. We now have walkie talkies to allow for communication between the leader and sweeper.
Upon arrival at the trailhead the participants will be led in a short warmup and stretching routine before heading out. Fast walkers are welcome to do the trail 2 or 3 times to get their steps in.

With financial support from the Grand Bend Community Foundation, 8 annual passes for Pinery have been purchased for the group.

We are currently looking for volunteer coordinators for the walking club. Coordinators will be responsible for signing the passes in and out at the FOPP office on the day of the walk and distributing them to other walking club participants as needed. They will also be responsible for picking up the walkie talkies.

If you are interested in attending or becoming a Volunteer Coordinator please call us at 519-243-1521 or email fopp@oxford.net for more information.
