Thank you for taking part in this special Iroquoia Hike. The goal on this
scavenger hunt hike is to take in some of the great spots our section has to
offer, while promoting the use of the what3words app.

1. Download the what3words app.
2. Use this flyer to record information at each stop.
3. Locations are on the Iroquoia Bruce Trail main trail
   section between Grimsby and Milton.
4. Find and stop at each of the ten (10) locations along the Trail
5. While standing at the exact spot described for each stop,
   use the what3words app to determine the unique three-word combination and record it in the space provided.

NOTE: You do not need to complete the challenge in a single hike. You may complete it in any order. But you must visit all ten (10) locations to earn the badge.

We do not provide KM markers or GPS coordinates – this is a challenge afterall. Simply follow the directions, use the location names to help you navigate and find where you need to be.

what3words is a simple tool that helps hikers communicate exact locations. Many Ontario EMS call centres use what3words, though not all do, so it can be
a helpful addition to your trail safety tool kit. Consider this fun practise.
For more details on the app go to what3words.com

Celebrating hikers 80+ who are still inspiring others on the trail

Some hikers do more than log kilometres — they show us what a lifelong love of the trail looks like.

The Lifelong Hiker Badge celebrates hikers who are 80 years of age and older, have spent a lifetime enjoying hiking, and are still getting out on the trail today.

They inspire fellow hikers with their energy, their stories, and their example — proving that hiking can be a joy that lasts a lifetime.

Are you that hiker? Or do you know someone who is? Help us recognize and celebrate them with this special badge.

To qualify for the Lifelong Hiker Badge, the hiker must:

• Be 80 years of age or older.
• Be a lifelong hiker.
• Still be actively hiking.

This badge may be requested by the hiker themselves or a gift by someone for a hiker who fits the spirit of the badge.

MEMBERS ONLY
The Legacy IBTC Jack-in-the-Pulpit badge, for a limited time while supplies last, may be substituted for the new red fox E2E badge upon completing hikes through the entire Iroquoia section of the Bruce Trail.

SNOWSHOE BADGE -
INDEPENDENTLY EARNED IN FOUR HIKES
Snowshoe Badge Participants must complete a total of four snowshoe hikes on the Bruce Trail, one of which must be within the Iroquoia Bruce Trail Club section which runs between Grimsby and the bottom of Kelso Conservation Area near Milton under the 401 on Appleby Line. Hikes must be on the main (white) or side (blue) trails.

Although the Snowshoe badge is offered to provide hikers a shorter badge goal during the winter season when other hiking goals are more difficult to achieve, snowshoeing is more energy intensive than hiking! Therefore, the minimum distance to count as a "snowshoe hike" is around 3-5 km, but longer hikes according to your ability & experience are encouraged. Hikes must be completed on different days. You may create and complete your own hikes or take part in any four snowshoe hikes offered by various leaders throughout the winter.
This badge is available for your canine companions, as well, if they accompany you.
