19.3°C Welcome to the Tantramar Outdoor Club !
Year-round outdoor activities have always been a central purpose of the TOC. But the beating heart of the group is the embrace of winter and the bounty of snow which provides cross-country skiing and snowshoeing opportunities over the winter months. Our hope is that we leave the surrounding environments which we traverse as pristine as possible.

Summer Group Hikes
Next hike will be on Sunday July 23. Meet in the parking lot behind the Sackville post office at 9:30 for car pooling, in order to get to the Joggins Fossil cliffs well before low tide at 10.51. Once on the beach there are two options:
- Walk the beach with the TOC group
- Join the 30 minute official guided tour starting at 11 by registering here on Joggin’s Fossil Cliff’s website. ($11.50)
On the way home we will stop at the Amherst Point Bird Sanctuary and walk the loop there.
This walk should be suitable for just about anyone – lots of options for shorter or longer walks depending on your need. There are stairs going down to the beach at Joggins.
Bring sunscreen, water, and a lunch or snack. And good shoes for the beach walk since there is the possibility of some scrambling. Joggins isn’t really a good beach for swimming, but that never stopped our kids from going in the water, so you might want to be prepared for that as well, as the tide starts to come back in. The bird sanctuary might be buggy.
Upcoming Summer Events
Thursday evening paddling continues through July, 7.00-9.00. Atlantic Paddle should be open for rentals, but please book ahead of time!
July 25 mushroom walk with Jessika Gauvin. Meet at 2.00 at the reservoir gate. Fee $20. This walk is now almost full, please contact me asap if you are hoping to take part.
Saturday August 26, hike in Wentworth, to Horse Pasture Falls and Hart Peak with Barb Guy
