Bolger mtn 2025 07 03
We were joined this morning with a soon to be new member ( Steve) who has recently moved to Elliot Lake. After a 40 min drive north we parked at the trailhead and started our accent. Once at the lake we stopped for a break and some pics and a bit of chatter then on to the real climb. We reached the summit approx 2hrs after our start and we lazed around in an almost bug free environment with a gentle breeze and beautiful blue/cloudy sky. After the traditional cheese was handed out we realized that this hike had no "Hiker Chicks" and a moment of silence was observed in their honor, lol... after our break we made it back down to the lake safe and sound then continued on to the vehicles. Thanks to all who supported the hike and to Don for sweeping

Scavenger hunt 2025 07 02
A great big thank you to Nikki, Dianne, Rosemary, Donna, Ginette, and Emily who all helped make the Scavenger Hunt at Spruce Beach a huge success. And thank you to our muscle and movers, Walter and Don. The tent, banner and signs all held up even as the wind picked up in the afternoon. The kids, and many of the parents shared a fun experience with family and friends, after which they could choose a gift or some treats that were on offer. We even received a few items back that weren't on the list, the snail being the most interesting. A fun time was had by all, kids and volunteers alike.

Street dance thank you 2025 06 29
Don and Renee, on behalf of The Social Committee would like to thank the volunteers that came out to the Street Dance on Friday evening. After a very wet morning we were happy to arrive at a dry venue and only experienced a few minutes of sprinkles as Kim Mitchell took the stage. It was a fantastic night and a great success. Thank you to Dianne, Janie, Tim, Dave Adam’s, Twyla, and a recent new member Linda who kept up with Janie and Dianne dancing while they put wrist bands the hundreds of attendees. On patrol was Nikki, Sue, Ginette and Don. Staying on until about midnight for clean-up were Janie, Nikki, Maret, Emily, Don and myself.
Everyone did a fantastic job as we listened to the great music. Way to support our community Coureurs de Bois.Friday, June 27, 2025
Little Quirk Lake 2025 06 27
Fern-tastic Hike to Little Quirk Lake
Only one hardy soul showed up this morning - the radar indicated the
rain was ending so the hike goes on. Oh the greenery, so much
different than 2 months ago. The trail was in good shape, but there
were a few new blow downs. The walking stick was useful to smack the
ferns and trees to get the water off them. A 2nd set of socks was
changed into at the lunch / fishing break. The return trip was a quick
50 minutes. No fish were harmed during this hike. Did not get back to
the car until 1pm.
