Are you interested in attending on of these free, upcoming back-to-back Zoom events?

Dale Leckie, author of The Scenic Geology of Alberta, reached out to tell us about these events so that we could inform our members.

On Sept 30, “Explore Alberta Through the Eyes of Alberta Explorers” is being presented remotely with Zoom. Each of six Alberta authors will introduce their way of seeing Alberta and introduce their books about the province.

EVENT 1

At 5:30 Dale Leckie will introduce the first event with Alberta explorers George Webber, Sarah Elmeligi, Andrew Nugara & Lori Beattie, who will talk about photography, bears, hiking in the Rockies & in Calgary.

EVENT 2

At 7 pm, Dale Leckie and Chris Fisher will have a conversation about the intriguing relationships between geology and wildlife across Alberta.

We don’t normally promote outside events, but we’re pretty sure this is just the sort of thing our members and readers are interested in. Let us know if you agree.

With the upcoming Stage 1 & Stage 2 reopening we are hoping to restart our scheduled hikes.

In early June the Stage 1 reopening will allow Outdoor social gatherings, physical, performance and recreation activities of up to 10 distanced people, so for June 6th we are looking at Wanison Lake to Meadow Shelter, as that will allow us to send groups on 2 routes that will get to Meadow Shelter for lunch ~20 min apart.

By mid June Stage 2 reopening should be in place, allowing for our typical hike routine.

We will continue to monitor the situation & take our guidance from the province.
