A new event is being introduced by Ontario Parks to encourage people to spend time in nature.
Take a Hike Day is taking place on Wednesday, August 9.
Over 75 parks across the province, including a couple in our area, are hosting guided hikes.
They include Marten River and Samuel de Champlain in Mattawa.
The hikes will be led by Ontario Parks Discovery education staff.
