Itinerary:
An easy Saturday morning paddle along the shoreline of Glenmore Reservoir.

We'll meet in front of the Calgary Canoe Club at 10:00 AM. The canoes will be rented on-site from the Calgary Canoe Club. Since we are renting 2-person canoes, each member is responsible for pairing-up and arranging each rental. We will try to have the boats on the water by 10:30 AM, and be off the water by 1:00 PM. For those interested, we can get together afterwards for lunch.

Participants should be familiar with getting in and out of a canoe and basic strokes. As well, you must wear your lifejacket (PFD) while on the water. Note that participants may be paired by ability at the discretion of the coordinator.
