Join us for a day hike in London, Ontario! We will meet as a group and hike part of the Thames Valley Loop, a 7.7 km trail rated as moderate.

Pace will be determined by the group’s abilities but expect to be outside and moving for a couple of hours.
What Is A CIM Adventure?
CIM Adventures help to connect people with Type 1 diabetes in the backcountry. The trips give you the chance to get away from the everyday hustle and bustle of your every day life; learn skills for taking diabetes into the wild; and step outside of your comfort zone into the place where magic happens. These programs are for veterans and new adventurers alike.
