Guelph Hiking and Trail Club will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of its founding in 2022.  I know it seems pretty far away but we need to start now to present a celebration we can be proud of.

50 years is a long time for a community organization to be around. There has been no better time in the club's history to be thankful for the services provided by the club.  Since March 2020 we have been in the position of having to find new ways to look after our health, both physical and mental.   Especially at the beginning of the pandemic, we discovered a quietness that let us hear nature, see more wildlife and the time to really enjoy it.    The club was not allowed to offer organized hikes, but our club's trails were there and still being kept up by dedicated volunteers.  People have flocked to the trails and it has brought much recognition to the hard work the club does to keep up these trails for everyone to use, not just members. 

We want to plan a celebration to mark our 50th anniversary that will send our club off into the next 50 years.  We would like to have events happen all year long with a big get together or open house at some time in good weather.  We are still in the brainstorming phase looking for both ideas and people willing to help out with those ideas.e.g.the Historic Hike Baton.  If you would like to be part of the planning for this celebration please contact me directly.

Our club has a very diverse membership and wide age range. There is no "one size fits all" and we don't want to leave anyone out.  I'm sure that we can come up with a program with a selection of events that will provide a good choice for everyone.

GHTC is a volunteer organization that offers guided hikes of various lengths, throughout the year in Guelph and the surrounding area. We maintain over 80km of trails, thanks to private landowner permission, from Cambridge to Limehouse and from Guelph to West Montrose.

We offer general hikes, kids' hikes, photo hikes, trail end-to-end hikes and ski/snowshoe hikes.

Members get together for fall/winter slide show presentations and various social activities.
