ACTIVE AND FIT



Sunday Moderate Walk

This walk will occur every Sunday except for the first Sunday of the month so as not to conflict with the Sunday Brunch group. This walk will be an hour long on mostly flat out-and-back routes to accommodate different walking paces. We will walk out for 30 minutes and then return for coffee but feel free to turn back at any time. We will rotate 6 different routes and are open to suggestions for others. This walk will accommodate VENC members who feel the brisk walk is a bit too vigorous or lengthy. 

Meets: every Sunday except the first Sunday of the month at 10:00am.

Butchart Gardens Walk

This is an opportunity for a moderately paced stroll through Butchart Gardens to take in and enjoy all the beauty these world class gardens have to offer during all the seasons. Our walk ends with coffee in the Butchart Gardens Coffee Shop or on their patio depending on the weather. If you plan to participate regularly, purchasing an annual pass for the cost of just 2 visits will entitle you to visit the park as often as you wish.

Meets: every 4th Friday of the month at 9:30am, with walk to begin at 9:45am.


SATURDAY MORNING BRISK WALK

We meet every Saturday morning for a 1 ½ hour walk followed by coffee.  This is a wonderful way to get to know people, get some exercise, and learn about our different Victoria neighbourhoods.

Meets:   Every Saturday 9:30am – rain or shine!



Saturday Morning Leisurely Walk

This activity has been transitioned to a self-guided walk for leisurely, moderate or other speed walkers starting at 10 am Saturday mornings, followed by a meet up for coffee at 10:30 am at a coffee house.  Members are invited to show up at the designated meeting location and link up with another or a few members to go for a walk at your ideal pace and then return for coffee.  Or you can chose to just join the group for coffee and skip the walk.  

Meets:   Every Saturday 10:00am – rain or shine!


Friday Evening Walk

These 1-1/2 hr. walks start June 21, 2024.Partners are welcome and the pace will be ‘keep moving’.  There can be a break mid-way.   The starting point is the corner of Fort and Richmond in front of the Forbes IDA pharmacy.   (There are several buses that stop at that location.   If you come by car, there is usually 2 hour free parking on Jubilee between Oak Bay and Leighton.)

Meets:  First and third Fridays of the month at 6:30 p.m.
