*************************
Are you looking for something to do with the family this weekend? Grab your hiking shoes and join us at the Hersey Lake Conservation Area this Sunday for Timmins Hiking Day.
Whether you are new to Timmins or a long time resident this is an opportunity to explore our community trail system and learn about the many health benefits associated with hiking.
People are asked to meet at the shelter near the beach at 10 a.m. Volunteers will be present to lead two different hikes while describing some of the unique vegetation and wildlife that we have here in Northern Ontario.
Participants will also be treated to refreshments and snacks. Everyone is encouraged to come out and enjoy the great outdoors.
In an effort to reduce waste from disposable cups, residents are asked to bring their own travel mugs.
For more information, call the Mattagami Region Conservation Authority at 360-2660. The Hersey Lake Conservation Area is located about 5 km from downtown, north on Highway 655.
