Itinerary:
OVERVIEW
Let's join the Friends of Kananaskis for their annual Highway 40 clean up! This year, we're going from Highway South to Galatea Day Use Parking (32 km). The clean-up is sponsored by Alberta Transportation and brought forward to the ACC by the Access and Environment Committee. This event is great for families who can walk 3 km comfortably, we leave it to your discretion whether your child is old enough to join. No pets allowed. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Vince (preferably through email: vinzafy@gmail.com)

HOW TO SIGN UP
There are two ways to sign up for the event.
(1) The usual way here on the ACC calendar. Vince will pass your information on to Nancy (co-ordinator for the Friends) and you'll be placed on the volunteer list.

(2) Through the Friends of Kananaskis volunteer system — Better Impact. If you plan on volunteering for trail building or maintenance days in the future, please sign up through Better Impact! To do this, visit the website Better Impact and click on the "Fill in an application" on the "I would like to volunteer" box at the top right of the page. Should be straightforward from there!

Note: If you sign up on here AND on Better Impact, please let us know either through a note in your registration, or by sending Vince an email (vinzafy@gmail.com) so your name doesn't get passed on twice. Much appreciated!

WHAT TO EXPECT
We'll be meeting in the Stoney Nakoda Casino parking lot at 9:00 AM. From there, we'll be partnered and transported to a section of road we're responsible for. Once that section is completed, pairs will be transported to the next stretch further down, so on and so forth until we reach the Galatea Day Use lot. If you wish to be partnered with a specific person or with ACC members, please travel together or find them in the parking lot before hand as we'll be working together with the Friends of Kananaskis volunteers.
Required Items to Bring:
Participants must wear a safety vest and gloves. The vests and garbage bags will be provided, along with gloves if needed (only offered in adult size).

Recommended Items to Bring:
As a reminder, wear sturdy footwear and select clothes you do not mind getting dirty, long pants are strongly recommended and bring rain gear. Pack your lunch, water, sunscreen, bug spray, bear spray, and other personal gear.

How to Get There:
Event Directions:   Head west along Highway 1 until you reach the Highway 40 turnoff. Take a left onto Highway 40 and another left at the Casino Entrance (~ 650 m) and meet us in the parking lot!  

Notes:
Please register here or through the Friends of Kananaskis Volunteer Portal (Better Impact) if you wish to volunteer with the Friends more down the road for projects such as trail maintenance and trail building. Some of these projects will be posted here on the calendar, but for a full list of projects, visit the website Kananaskis.org and look at the Volunteer Projects Calendar or sign up to the newsletter to be notified by email. Thanks in advance for your help!

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!
Click here to be directed to our "Contact Us" page and contact the appropriate Chair person or the Section Chair. This is also a simple way to make your section executive aware of any praises, suggestions or problems you may have with any area of the Calgary Section of the ACC.
Thank you for your response.
