The group also holds special events outside Toronto, most recently in Hamilton at the Royal Botanical Gardens and at Algonquin Park. Kroboth leads two groups, split up by age, on weekend walks approximately every two weeks, all year round. I have at least three fruits a day and two vegetables a day. Kroboth combines this with three starches a day, and eight to 12 oz. of meat a week - lean cuts only, of course. I generally have a lot of fish, chicken and legumes because they provide a lot of fiber and are low in saturated fats.
Membership includes discounts at five outdoor sports stores and three free walks.
Walkers receive location cards with the time and meeting spot. A woman who created the concept of single adults taking walks in the park together, did so in part because there is safety in numbers, and because the parks are a lot safer when more people use them. But being a single woman I was finding it increasingly difficult to enjoy my long walks on the weekend in High Park without feeling threatened in some way. So back in September 1990, her brainchild, A Stroll in the Park took off, becoming an instant hit, particularly with single woman. She organizes one walk a month, often in High Park, and always in accessible locations such as Edwards Gardens, where her most recent outing on October 20 took place.
