| Itinerary: |
Let's join the Friends of Kananaskis for their annual Highway
40 clean up! This year, we're going from Highway South to
the Peter Lougheed - Kannaskis Lakes trail turn off (50 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 2 - 4 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)
PLEASE READ IF YOU PLAN ON JOINING
As this is an external event, participants will need to register
through the Friends of Kananaskis volunteer
system —
Better Impact. To do this, visit the website Better Impact and
click
on the "Fill in an application" button on the "I would like to
volunteer"
box at the top right of the page. Should be straightforward
from there! Note that you are not required to sign
up here to participate.
If you do plan on participating, please feel free to either sign up
on this event page or send me an e-mail (vinzafy@gmail.com)
notifying me you are
coming if you would like to have an ACC group for the cleanup!
We'll be meeting in the Stoney Nakoda Casino parking lot at
9:00 AM. From there, we'll group up and move to a
section of road we're responsible for. Once that section is
completed, groups will be transported to the next stretch
further down; so on and so forth until we reach the turn off. If
you wish to
be grouped 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: |
|
Further projects with the friends (such as trail maintenance and
trail building) will be posted via Better Impact.
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! You can send any feedback you may have to the Section Chair.
