We will be hiking in staggered groups of four. At times we will be two abreast (box shape with 6 feet or more apart), and other times we will need to be distanced while in single file and step off the trail or pathway briefly to let others pass safely.
Meet at the parking lot for Dawson Park (10298 89 Street) for a 6:30 departure. I will be wearing a royal blue EOC baseball cap, so you can recognize me. This hike is on a mixture of paved and unsurfaced trails, and will be moderate pace of around 5 km/hr. However, note that the trail up Kinnaird Ravine is a long steady steep climb. Head NE from the parking lot along the paved River Valley trail as far as Kinnaird Ravine, then head up Kinnaird Ravine gravel trails to the Murals. We will then leave the Ravine and pick up a "goat trail" that takes us back into the River Valley, where we can loop back via Riverside Trails on the other side of river. We may even pass the "Fraggle Rock Door". The event duration will be approximately 2 hours.
***We are open to having dogs on the hike, however they must be leashed***
We are limiting the number of participants including the coordinator on our events at this time. **There are important ways to protect yourself and others from Coronavirus, the most essential being to sanitize your hands frequently. We request that you **bring your own hand sanitizer** with you on the event. For all who choose to enjoy an EOC activity we require participants to follow all Federal and Provincial rules in regards to Covid- 19, and the 2 meters/ 6 feet of social distancing from all club members and the public while on the trails and in public spaces. ** Our activities are outdoors in uncrowded spaces where cross-contamination is considered lower risk, but strict precautions still need to be followed. click for more information and to learn more.
Additional requirements:
1. Create social space.
Avoid greeting each other where there is the potential for skin-to- skin contact, such as hugs or handshakes or high- fives. . When in doubt, share a friendly wave and 'hello'. Blow your nose, cough, sneeze, or clear your airway at least 2 metres away from others. Don't use clothing to wipe. Wear a mask in public places to help limit the risk of spread to others if you will be within 2 metres of people other than members of your own household.
2. Are you feeling unwell?
If you have a cough or flu-like symptoms, you must stay home, and should consider getting yourself tested by calling 8-1-1. Also the Alberta government states if you have symptoms including fever, cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, sore throat or runny nose, you MUST self-isolate for 10 days after the onset of symptoms and until your symptoms have resolved (whichever is longer). *If you are in mandatory self-isolation you can not legally go outside for a walk through your neighbourhood or park.
3. Your EOC event hosts are volunteers.
Participants are responsible for assessing the current road conditions, current weather conditions, their current physical condition, current trail conditions, and are responsible for their own safety and well-being.
