On October 1, join your fellow Ontarians for a walk through the farms and conservation areas threatened by Highway 413.
Grassroots organizers in Grand(m)others Act to Save the Planet and Mississauga Climate Action have taken the lead in planning a walk along the proposed route of Highway 413 to raise awareness about the 2000 acres of irreplaceable farmland that will be destroyed by this reckless project.
The event will be happening on October 1st and there will be many ways to participate, including a rally and farmer's market at the Brampton Fairgrounds where cyclists and walkers will congregate.
Local groups are coordinating walks and bike rides of different lengths at different locations in Halton, Brampton, Caledon and Vaughan. Most walks start around 10:00 AM. Use the map below to find the walk that's right for you or just join us at the Brampton Fairgrounds.

Registration for specific walks is now closed -- but you are still welcome to arrive at the Brampton Fairgrounds between 9:00 and 9:30 AM and join one of the walks starting at the fairgrounds - or contact the organizers of an individual directly to inquire about joining up with them.
