Hiking Buddies Workshop

Hosted by Hike NS, a free Hiking Buddies workshop will take place in Halifax on November 28, teaching participants how to assist blind and partially sighted hikers on the trail. The hope is that participants will then be open to volunteer to assist blind or partially sighted hikers in the future individually or for guided hike events. This workshop will take place entirely outside on the trails and will cover myths and misunderstandings about being blind or partially sighted. Participants will receive guide training and learn tips on hiking/walking techniques and descriptions. Must be experienced hikers. Supported by the NS Office of Equity and Anti-Racism.
