**To register you must first add your name to the waiting list, and then answer the health and saftey questionnaire sent by the coordinator before being added to the event the day before the event start.
**Please read all details in red below and and event details, including all Covid-19 group precautions before signing up! All activities are being offered in full compliance with current provincial and federal COVID standards (links below for more information).
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.
Interested in regular hikes in parks around the city? Hawrelak, Emily Murphy, Louise Mckinney & Dawson Parks to name a few.
These hikes are about fresh air, exercise and exploration of the river valley trails. The trails this week are gravel, single track, and paved. We will explore Rundle Park and take the foot bridge across to Gold Bar Park trails.
The distance will be about 10 kms.
***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. Also please note that this is a group hike - therefore "superfast hikers" (5.5 km/hr and above) should be prepared to wait for the group as a whole throughout the whole hike.
If you're not prepared to do this, then this will not be the event for you.
Similarily - "less than regular hikers" (5km/hr) - please find the time to get some training hikes in before this one, so that you are not "caught cold" doing this one!
Meet in the parking lot at 6:25 PM for a prompt departure at 6:30 PM (or earlier if the group is all there). Look for Mark wearing (or holding) a blue EOC ball cap, or look up his profile picture on the volunteer page.
**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.
