- Pick a nature trail nearby you
- Start from your home and walk the neighbourhood
- Walk the nostalgic route... around Market Square in Downtown St Catharine's
- If it is safe to do so, meet with a teammate and walk around a park such as Montebello Park
Please take photos on your walk and send them to us at cnoy@startmeupniagara.ca. We want to see your hard work! We may showcase them here on this site.
