Tobogganing and Victorian Christmas in Bronte Creek

sunday January 5th, 2025

 

Join us for a winter day at Bronte Creek Provincial Park!
We’ll start with a scenic 2-hour hike through the park’s beautiful winter landscapes, taking in the peaceful surroundings and its signature ravine carved by Bronte Creek.
Afterward, we’ll check out Bronte Creek’s Victorian Christmas holiday program, taking place around the Spruce Lane Farmhouse. With ongoing activities throughout the day, you’ll have the chance to enjoy crafts, hot drinks, and holiday traditions. The park recommends planning to stay for at least two hours to fully enjoy the event, and it’s all included in your park entry fee (though food, beverages, and gifts at the Friends gift shop are extra).
Weather permitting, we’ll also have a 1.5-hour session of tobogganing fun or continue hiking and exploring the holiday festivities.

  • Tea (optional but, again, a great way to keep warm)

  • Winter boots / Hat / Scarf / Mitts

  • Ice grips or ice cleats (Mandatory. Without them, you might be not able to join the hike due to safety concerns.)

  • Water (at least 1.5-2L)

  • Weather appropriate clothing- Layer up!- wool is great as a middle layer as it helps wick water away from the body and keep you warm!

  • Camera

  • Whatever else you need to have fun on the trail :)


WHAT TO EXPECT WITH ACTIVEDAYS

To us, facilitating this event is about creating an environment that you can engage with in your own way. This is your experience and everyone has their own relationship with the outdoors and their bodies. We want to meet you where you are at — you can take part in the hike, or wander off on your own adventure.

ActiveDays is also a community. This is an inclusive space to meet new people, share stories and have fun! To us, there is no better place to get to know someone than the outdoors. We all share a desire to get out, explore and move.

All ActiveDays participants are required to sign a waiver. We will send you a copy of the waiver via email. You can find a digital copy of a sample waiver HERE
