If you are free mid-week on Wednesdays, we are looking for you. We are looking for retired or part-time working people who enjoy physically active things to do, who are looking for new experiences, new places to go, new places to explore. Are you looking to expand your horizons, make new friends among like-minded people, and meaningful things to do on Wednesdays? The Grey Hares may be your answer.
The Grey Hares is a group within Nature Manitoba of retired, and partly retired people who enjoy all of these activities. The Grey Hares meet twice a year to produce a schedule of events that occur every Wednesday – all of these events are organized by volunteers from the ranks of the group. We carpool to destinations and share expenses. Most events are free, some include lunch in a nearby restaurant, mostly we take our own food. Our pace of activity tends to be at the lower end of speed but varies according to the group. Nobody gets left behind!
We cross country ski in the winter, we cycle, bike, canoe or camp in the summer. Between seasons we do ‘cultural events’ eg. touring the MTC, the WAG, the new airport, or other places of interest. We are always looking for new places to go, events to attend, experiences to share.
Our problem – our numbers are dwindling, people move on, or for one reason or another are no longer able to participate in our activities. We need new blood in our group, we need some new faces and some new places to go. Our membership fees are very low, $5.00 gives an almost lifetime membership. Members must also be members of Nature Manitoba, but others are welcome to come on one or two trips to try us out before they commit themselves. Please consider coming out to one of our events. Most, but not all, are advertised in Nature Manitoba News, some are kept for members only.
