NEW! Sole Sisters Must be registered each week/ please read carefully below

Strap on your walking shoes and join the Sole Sisters walking group. This program is offered most Wednesdays (Not during the Christmas break or July and August) at various locations around the Oceanside area and is intended for women 50+, but all ages are welcome.

This is not a power walking group, but the group does walk at a moderate pace. There is a leader at the front and a leader at the back. No one is left on their own.

Thank you for reading the information below!

1. Please bring your own hand sanitizer and mask, if you would like to wear one. Masks are not required for this program, but we respect and support your decision to wear one if you choose to.

2. Covid-19 Safety questions will be asked by the leader at the welcome circle. The circle will be socially distanced.

3. Participants will be asked to walk in socially distanced groups of 2-3, depending on the trail.

4. We would like each person to keep their name and emergency contact in a pocket and if possible wear a name tag. This can be as simple as a piece of masking tape with your name on it. With many new people, this will help the leaders identify you if you are injured or unwell.

5. Fast walkers MUST stay in contact with the front leader. If you happen to get ahead, stop and wait, or turn back to the leader. The leader should ALWAYS be at the front of the group. If you are not willing to do this, we will not be able to count you in as part of the walk, due to safety issues.

6. It is important that you do not leave from a walk until you have checked in with the leader, so no one is left behind.

Description:  Walk leader Anne will be treating us to a beautiful walk at Little Qualicum Falls. The fall leaves will be magnificent and the waterfalls majestic. This trail has a few steep sections, many roots and rocks, and a set of long uphill stairs at the end, but worth every minute. Please plan on 60-90 minutes.

Directions:  Follow the Alberni Highway as if you are heading to Port Alberni. The right hand turn off to the park is clearly marked on the highway and is about 1km further than the Whiskey Creek Store. Once on the park road, drive directly to the end of the road where you will find a big parking lot and indoor washrooms, which is a bonus.
