Our 1 to 1 & 1/2 hour walks generally depart at 9:00 a.m. from a variety of attractive locations - from Lake Country in the north to Peachland in the south.

Thursday February 3,

Centennial Way, Peachland Waterfront, 9:00 a.m.

Our walk is mostly along Centennial Way, which offers a 13 block continuous walkway along the Peachland waterfront. Centennial Way is 3 meters wide and is a smooth continuous surface. A 2 meter "green belt" offers a safe border from the road. There are benches along the way. The path was named "Centennial Way" in honour of Peachland's 100 year anniversary: 1909 - 2009. We will walk along the waterfront for about 45 minutes and then return to our starting point at Heritage Park.
