Hike Nova Scotia invites Nova Scotians to kick off Active Transportation Month in June by taking on the Hiker Distance Award Challenge. Those who register for Hike Nova Scotia’s Hiker Distance Award program by June 30 will enter a draw to win one of 25 hiking prizes.
The Hiker Distance Award Program recognizes hikers for hiking (or walking or snowshoeing) significant distances within Nova Scotia over the course of a year. Tally your kilometres using a log book (provided online or in hardcopy upon registration). If you tally 150, 250 or 500 kilometres within one year, you receive a pin to recognize your achievement. You can register at www.hikenovascotia.ca/distanceawards.cfm
Hike Nova Scotia, a nonprofit organization, encourages and promotes hiking, walking and snowshoeing throughout Nova Scotia. Membership in Hike NS means keeping up-to-date on the latest hiking news and having a say in its many projects. Hike NS is supported by the Nova Scotia Department of Health and Wellness.
June is Active Transportation Month. Hiking is just one form of active transportation, but a very accessible one for Nova Scotians.
