Trek & Tell - Hiking the Bruce Trail Quilt Project

Join us for a special dialogue with club members Tanya Simpraga and Lis Laustroer.

More than two million people use the Bruce Trail each year.  Of those, only about 40 hikers complete an End-to-End annually. Even fewer can say they have hiked the entire trail multiple times—club member Lis is one of them.

From her very first hike in 1984, wearing jeans and a cotton T-shirt, Lis began what would become a lifelong journey on the Bruce Trail.

In the early 2000s, completion badges were introduced. That’s when Lis caught what she calls “badge disease,” and her quilt project was born. Every badge she earned was carefully placed on the quilt exactly where it was received along the trail. Each one holds a memory—of people she met, moments shared, and the many End-to-End hikes she completed along the way.

Through this conversation, Lis will bring these memories to life, sharing stories from her remarkable journey.

It promises to be an inspiring and engaging evening.
