Hamilton Camino Pilgrims

Hamilton Camino Pilgrims Our Mission: To share our love of the Camino, inspiring and enabling others on their Way

We're an inclusive, non-denominational community in Canada's Hamilton & Golden Horseshoe region interested in the Camino de Santiago AKA The Camino or The Way.

Part One: what’s not working?

Experiments are always good even when you don’t get the result you were hoping for.

Our attempt to create a rhythm of events doesn’t appear to be working, so we’d like your feedback on what you do like.

As a volunteer lead organization, we only have so many hours available so we want to make sure we’re creating the biggest impact for the Pilgrim community here in the Hamilton and Horseshoe region

SHOULD WE KEEP OFFERING WEEKLY EVENTS?

Events this week:

May 27 6:30pm Injury prevention and Management for long distance walking. Aldershot Arena.

This educational session is an in depth look at the common types of injuries we are susceptible to with long distance walking. We have a certified trainer and an Athletic therapist who will also do some demonstrations and give general guidance on a) how to prepare your body so you don't get injured and b) some options to consider if you do get injured.

As a bonus, David McKinty has also taught splinting courses at McMaster...including how to best use that ubiquitous K-Tape we see all over people's legs halfway through the Camino :)

We have about ten spots left for registration.
More information and registration can be found on santiago.ca/events
