Itinerary:
Calling all Trip Leaders + Potential Trip Leaders! This event is for you. Come along and ask any questions, raise any concerns you have or have had. You may think you don't need an orientation but I know I could do with a refresher on processes + an understanding of what is required of me. It's also a good chance to chat with other Trip Leaders and share stories/concerns etc. The following will be discussed: Changes in requirements for trip leaders. Booking process for section gear for use on trips. Discounts. Trip leader appreciation. Waivers. Incident reporting. How to post a trip. Mentoring. Co-Leading. Soft skills. Trip Reports. And anything else you can think of!
Required Items to Bring:
Money for beer.

How to Get There:
Event Directions:   Note: Bottlescrew Bill's and Buzzards Restaurant are one in the same, so if you see the sign for Buzzard's you're in the right place. (Google Streetview shows Buzzards Restaurant, for example). ***NOTE - This isn't being held in the same room as the volunteer party normally is. Please turn right as soon as you get into the pub and we will be in that room. Cheers and see you there!  

Cancellation/Partial Attendance:
Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!


Cancellation Policy
If a participant is unable to attend a paid course or trip, there will be no refund unless the participant finds a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the trip coordinator. Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons. The Calgary Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.

Trip Feedback
If you have any feedback, positive or negative, concerning this trip or any other, we want to hear from you! You can send any feedback you may have to the Section Chair.
