Toronto and North GTA Men's Circles - MDI

Richmond Hill, ON

Toronto and  North GTA Men's Circles - MDI
**Are you being the man you always wanted to be?** Does this question have any meaning for you? Have you ever heard it before? Are there men in your life you trust and can turn to for support and wisdom when you need it most? Can you share your concerns, issues, fears and ideas with those men without being judged or ridiculed? I'm not talking about 'buddies' here – the guys you 'hang' with, play sports, or drink with. I am talking about a few men you see regularly with whom you can comfortably and safely disclose your most private and intimate concerns and issues around parenting, relationships, marriage, career, fatherhood, brotherhood and other key issues in your life – the stuff that really matters. **Do you have such a resource?** **WELCOME TO MDI** **The team meetings announced on this site are for the Northern GTA team (e.g. Vaughan/Richmond Hill, Newmarket e.g.). If you live anywhere outside the Northern GTA, MDI has 12 meetings every week in Ontario stretching from Lindsay in the east, to London in the West. Eight of those meetings are in the GTA. Specifically we have teams in Lindsay, Pickering/Markham/Oshawa, North GTA, Downtown Toronto South (two teams), Downtown Toronto Central, Etobicoke, Mississauga/Brampton, Oakville/Burlington, Hamilton, Kitchener/Waterloo/Guelph/Cambridge and London.**  **If the location of a meeting listed here or the night of a meeting doesn't work for you, please contact me and we will set you up with a meeting with another team.** **Geoff** **416-822-3541** **geoff.tomlinson@gmail.com**

This is an **INTERMEDIATE LEVEL** hiking group that travels a combination of on/off trail situations, all the while maintaining a **5+ kms per hour** pace for **distances of 10kms or more**. We tend to have large turnouts to our events; therefore, we do need all hikers to KEEP UP with the pack. Failure to do so causes undue aggravation for the HIKING LEADER, SWEEP AND ALL IN ATTENDANCE. **Therefore, assess your abilities accordingly before you join**. Our objective is to hike within a close proximity to Richmond Hill.  We do not see any reason to drive 1 hour away for a 2-hour hike so our NIGHT HIKES tend to be 20 min away and 2.5 hours in duration. We do however sometimes travel a little further for our DAY HIKES. **At TrailHike Richmond Hill:**   • we only do 3 things:  Hike, Go Hiking and Did I Mention Hiking. We have and will on certain occasions gather socially after the hike • we frown on NO SHOWS, and expect members to change their RSVP in a timely manner to allow another hiker the opportunity to go • when we schedule a destination and/or adventure hike, we will have a LEVEL OF COMMITMENT set by the hike leader that stipulates the preferred # of prior attended hikes to be considered for that particular event • we reserve the right to remove members that do not meet our "ability requirements" set out above • we have about 40 members trained as, of which 20+ are active, Certified Hike Leaders (CHL) sanctioned by Hike Ontario • we have a number of members who have taken wilderness & remote first aid training  • we have a few hundred members that have completed TrailHike's Hike Like A Boss (HLB) 20k+ hikes • we try to schedule 2-4 NIGHT HIKES (on weekdays) with the possibility of 2 separate DAY HIKES (on weekends) per month from April to December • we have winter DAY and NIGHT hikes through the colder months • we have large turnouts to our hikes so it is not fair to those ON TIME to have to wait; we respect a 5-min grace period then the hike starts, no exceptions • hiking shoes/boots are required for all hikes, including some form of microspikes for winter hiking • dogs (if permitted on a hike) are required to be on a leash • we hike in the rain; the only thing that stops us is lightning • visit our [Facebook Page](https://www.facebook.com/TrailHike) to get a sense of what the group is like Lastly ... TrailHike - Richmond Hill is a FREE Hiking group. I do this to be around other folks to share a common interest in Hiking,  This is to inform you that the ORGANIZER along with EVENT HOSTS + SWEEPS and any folks that assist in our hikes volunteer their time and receive ZERO COMPENSATION for their efforts.

Toronto Underwater Sports (Rugby and Hockey)

Toronto, ON

Toronto Underwater Sports (Rugby and Hockey)
Yes, **UNDERWATER** rugby and hockey! When you’re underwater there’s **ZERO gravity** which makes it the best use of a pool's deep end you'll ever experience. **Underwater Rugby** The game can be played strategically, for those who **don’t want to be held underwater** or as a **full-contact** sport should you keep possession of the submersible ball. Because of you're underwater, there are **360 degrees of attack** to watch out for! Cycling up and down with a partner, you **each take turns on the surface catching your breath.** When under the waves you "fly" down to help your team by sneaking or stealing the ball away. Think of it as snorkelling with a purpose. Two opposing teams of 6 players work in tandem to you get the salt water-filled ball into the other team’s net; guarded on the pool's bottom by a goalie. Totally **CO-ED & ALL AGES** fun! Bring a bathing suit & towel, we’ve got the rest. **FREE** to Try *\*\*A swim test is required to meet safety and insurance requirements \*\** **Underwater Hockey** The sport was first invented by divers in the 1950s. It is a non-contact sport in which two teams compete in a pool to maneuver a puck across the bottom and into the opposing team’s 3 meter long net. It is played with snorkeling gear and a short stick; different from a regular hockey stick. Say what, you say? Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAukrpTEvZA Like UWR, this game is **CO-ED & ALL AGES** fun! Bring a bathing suit & towel, we’ve got the rest. We welcome players both new and old on our Monday night games!
