This is the last of three tree tours that have re-started, after almost two years! Join the Riverview Horticultural Centre Society for a guided walking tour of some of the magnificent trees on the Riverview Hospital lands. Riverview is now known as Səmiq̓wəʔelə — pronounced “Suh-MEE-kwuh-EL-uh”.
This walk will be led by professional arborist and tree enthusiast James Bobick, and will last about two hours, depending on weather and walkers’ preference. Dress for the weather, and wear comfy shoes or boots. Walks go rain or shine. Children to adults welcome. Dogs on leash are also welcome.
Plan on arriving early to ensure a spot on the tour. Hand sanitizer and a mask if needed, will be provided, and you will be required to register your contact details upon arrival. Please bring your own pen. Washrooms will be open for your convenience.
Tours begin on the uphill side of the Henry Esson Young Building (HEY) which is located approximately in the centre of the Səmiq̓wəʔelə grounds. For those unfamiliar, here are some directions.
– Enter the site at either the Colony Farm Road traffic light or Holly Drive off the Lougheed Hwy in between the two new buildings.
– Follow Holly Drive through the grounds until reaching Oak Crescent, then turn uphill and then turn right on Kalmia Drive which is where the HEY building and start of the tour is located.
– Ample parking will be available and directional signs will be in place to assist with finding the tour start and meeting location.
– Please refer to attached map for exact location.
RHCS look forward to welcoming you back to enjoy this magnificent collection of trees.
