On Saturday morning Edie, Kevin, Liane, Len and Miriam with Jax, Rod, Hazra, and Larry met at the Centennial Park parking lot on Burnaby Mountain and walked on the trail that leads to University Boulevard and on to SFU, and into the campus along the main mall, the academic quadrangle, viewed the shops and condos along HIgh Road, the condos on University Crescent, where the boulevards were nicely treed, which was nice to see, then we circled back to High Road, stopped for refreshments at A&W, then continued back the same way to Centennial Park and viewed the rose garden – in full bloom now – and took in the spectacular view of the inlet.
Our distance was 7.15 km (according to Edie’s tracker) and our walk time was about 1h45.

Flora’s report on Wednesday’s walk: Thank you Flora!
On Wednesday evening 8 Cameron Cruisers – Kevin, Hazra, Rod, Brenda, Glenn, Brigitte, Liane and Flora showed up at Lougheed mall. It was a pleasant evening with delayering required during the walk. We finished with a meet up at the mall for a short period before we went our separate ways.

On a very warm Monday evening Edie, Sandy, Liane, Brigitte, Hazra, Rod, their grandson Murphy, Brenda, Glenn, newcomer Lorraine, and Larry walked from the mall and stayed in the shade as much as possible as we walked along Beaverbrook to the Stoney Creek trail. We walked about 1 km into the trail and came across a large fallen tree that was roped off, so we detoured, using a back trail to the Stoney Creek elementary school, and re-entered the Stoney Creek trail from the school trail, and continued to North Road, then returned the same way.
Fortunately the trail was in the shade for virtually the whole way! Our distance was about 6.5 km and our time was about 85 minutes.
