Local Hikes For Everyone
Submitted by Kirsty Grant & Patty Abbott, Duncan Visitor Centre Coordinators
1. Kerry Park Trail in Mill Bay is a real little hidden gem. It is not a long hike but more of a walk in the park. It is approximately one kilometre long and fairly easy to navigate but definitely not flat. This small trail meanders through moss covered trees and a lovely creek. Park at the Mill Bay Community Centre and you will easily see the start of the trail.
2. Mill Bay Nature Park
located at 695 Hollings Road in Mill Bay, Head east off of the TC and take Kilmalu then a right on Hollings Road. Lovely 2.92-hectare park with a series of trails and beach access. This is a fairly easy area to navigate and a great family park.
3. Old Baldy Mountain
Trail in Shawnigan is a more challenging hike with several access points. It has the most amazing views of Shawnigan once you reach the top. There are many trails to explore and can be steep in some areas. Easiest access to one of the yellow gates is to travel to Sylvester Road then to Hawkins then to Old Baldy Mountain Road then to Strathcona Road. Trail head is not marked but you will usually see some cars parked and a yellow gate.
4. Bald Mountain Park
in Youbou and not to be confused with Old Baldy Mountain is not as well known as many other places in Cowichan but a real find. There are approximately 8 kilometres of trails and described as a gradual climb. The trails take you up onto the peninsula with spectacular views of Lake Cowichan Youbou and Honeymoon Bay. This trail is a moderate to difficult. Trail head located at 9489 Marble Bay Road in Youbou.
5. Holland Creek in
Ladysmith is approximately a 6-kilometre hike. Classified as easy to strenuous hike. One of the highlights is viewing Crystal Falls and the Colliery dams. This park has wheel chair access from the Methuen and 6th avenue trail head. This is also an off-leash park.

Amythest Crystal Therapy Try a Amethyst Bio Mat Session
Debbie Shkuratoff, Reiki Master and owner of Reiki Wellness Centre has been doing energy work for over 30 years. “It came naturally to me, I just felt things for years. I decided to take a Reiki Class to learn more. From there I continued to take all the levels of Reiki up to Usui Reiki Master level for my own personal growth, and to teach others how to use Reiki for themselves and families.” shares Debbie A few years into her business Debbie was offered a session on the Infrared Amythest Bio Mat “ I could not believe this amazing new mat! I could feel the healing energies with in 10 minutes and knew I had to have one for myself and to offer private sessions”.
The Amethyst Bio-Mat can be used for professional or home use. Leading edge Bio - Technology to support health and well being. It is a Negative Ion and Far Infrared Ray Therapeutic Treatment System. The Bio-Mat is a unique innovation in bio technology containing 17 different layers and more than 30lbs of amethyst crystals which naturally produce and are superconductors of Far Infrared Rays. When the Bio-Mat is turned on pulses of energy radiate through the layers, which penetrates the body up to 6 inches through the skin, to the muscles, blood vessels, nerves, joints and bone. Relieves tension and pressure. Expands blood vessels to carry away toxins, reduce inflammation and brings nutrition to damaged areas.
It also has a special function that generates a discharge of negative Ions into the air and transforms positive Ions inside the human body. This process changes the acidic condition of the body to alkaline which is its natural healthy state. Negative Ions are shown to be the master power switch, which activates the body’s cellular system and makes every body function work better. Laying on the Bio-Mat for 1/2-1 hour feels warm and soothing. It reduces stress and fatigue, eases joint pain and stiffness, improves the immune system, removes toxins and speeds recovery. Relax in a tranquil setting, feel rejuvenated while the Bio-Mat does the work.
Amethyst has healing powers to help with physical ailments, emotional issues, and in Energy Healing and Chakra balancing.
