4th Annual Elders Memorial Hike and Tea

Date: September 26th, 2026
Time: 9:00AM – 4:00PM
Location: Strathcona Wilderness Centre at Paradise Meadows
Registration: Optional, Pre-registration would be appreciated. 

Event Details: Please join us for our 4th Annual Elders Memorial Hike and Tea, the last event of our Summer 2026 season.

This annual event is dedicated to long-time supporters of both SWI and Strathcona Provincial Park, honouring the work and commitment they provided and continue to provide in the protection and public awareness of the incredible wilderness areas within the park. We will honour the legacies of Elders no longer with us such as Chris Carter, Steve Smith, Ruth Masters, and Melda Buchanan, along with the many environmentalists and advocates for the park who still are.
The day will start with a hike out to Croteau Lake and “Chris Carter Lookout” (easy/moderate 12km round trip, 270m elevation gain) led by SWI Research Director Loys Maingon and our long-standing hiking guide Janet Beggs, offering a spectacular view over Ball Lake and Plateau, and out towards the Comox Glacier and beyond. Following the hike, tea and cookies will be served in the Ruth Master’s Nature Hall at the Strathcona Park Wilderness Centre.
We look forward to seeing you there!
